Raven Works
Heartbroken that a game series that I've always loved has gone full AI sludge. I've been eagerly buying these sight-unseen for years, and I always save them for when I need a treat, and opening this one to find it full of gross misshapen nonsense in place of the usual beautiful art was a real slap to the face. I guess this is where my fondness for the series ends. Anyone new to the series, at least you can still go back and play the real ones.

Another excellent puzzler from Fire Maple Games! The thing I like most is that none of the puzzles are "how would anyone possibly guess that" types that some other games use. Even if I forgot where to use a certain item, the map made it easy to find it again. Had one issue which I contacted the developer about, and it was fixed within the hour - can't ask for much more than that!

Beautiful backdrops, details and character models evoke a lived in, yet mythical campy adventure world--like The Goonies. I never minded the backtracking because of this. The character interactions were not a bother because the silly humor was welcome and the story that unfolded was enchanting. Mostly inventory puzzling with adequate challenge (fun!). Good hint system and map for when you get stuck. They have added new elements to their earliest games and made the experience better.
