This review is for all three games. The art is beautiful and the story is very intriguing, but some of the game design decisions were dumb. The puzzles were good, but no one should have a puzzle to access a fire extinguisher. It's ridiculous to the point it takes you out of the game. Dumb. Plus, how do you guys not have an automatic close to the tool pack after a few seconds? So freaking annoying to close it by hand every time. The story kept me playing, but the gaming got boring and repetitive.

This game is great, and the length is just right. My only criticism is that all the puzzles are based on finding the solution somewhere in the game and replicating it (except more simple puzzles like turning the pipes), rather than creating puzzles that are logical. Thus the game depends on the player's observation rather than their wits. It gets old thinking, "now I have to find the thing somewhere that looks like that puzzle" rather than figuring out the solution creatively.

I've played almost all games of this type on Play and this series is one of the most solid in terms of puzzles: some extremely challenging and very little repetition throughout the entire series. I used a hint once in the prologue because I didn't understand all the mechanics yet, but besides that I was able to complete all puzzles without help. My main complaint is the story is a bit weak made worse by text that is too small to read without taking pics and zooming in. Overall a solid A series!
