Like drinking a fine bottle of wine, if you sip this game slowly, it tastes delicious! Guzzle it down and...
Great graphics & ambient sound--- Todelmer blew me away (we played late at night w/ no lights; the starry sky made me feel like on another planet & the background music made me shiver at times). Some puzzles were challenging (we needed the walk-through for a few puzzles), but not as holistic as in Riven (which I found the hardest of the series). Being able to influence the natural environment was a novel touch to puzzle solving! Great finish to the series--- Esher character reminded me a lot of a certain someone from Riven. And I was left wanting the Bahro to be liberated at the end...
My biggest complaints were less expansive worlds and less interaction w/ the environment as in Revelation (my favorite of the series). I found the controls (in classic mode) a little frustrating at time. I also found the character development leaving less of an imprint on me than in Revelation (where I began to empathize w/ all the characters).
Overall, I loved the game and feel like the series closed on a positive note. Highly recommended!
