Be ready for a lot of trial and error.

I´m a sucker for 2D platformers and when they involve puzzle solving, even more. But HOD didnt suck me in. The action is irresponsive, the puzzle solving is based on trial and error, yes, no thinking just try to get it right. But even in this simple task it gets nasty because after you get some part right some enemies are a litle random and you die because they pop in the wrong side of the screen. But it is not all bad, when the commands are responsive and you dont repeat a scene 10 times the game can be fun, and the FMV make a nice touch moving the story forward. This is no Mario or Abe but if you want a 2D platformer with a little thinking and less jumping Heart of Darkness is a fair choise.
