What players say
This game has beautiful engaging scenery as do all of Cyans games. The puzzles are well thought out and while some people may complain of how much back-and-forth you have to do to solve the puzzles; I am old-school, way back to the original Myst days so I all of that doesn't bother me at all. I think for any Cyan fan, this game should be in your library. My ONLY complaint, which I find is a "trend" in most games...
