Pure Puzzle Solving...
User Rating: 8.9 | Safecracker: The Ultimate Puzzle Adventure PC
Well u read the name u think its about opening safes, listening to *ticks* using gadgets or whatever. But NO, u open safes, safe like containers, or safe like panels, using only logic, commonsense, and to some extent previously given hints. The story is very very very very very weak, the game is about puzzles and only puzzles, it would have been much more fun if u were hired by many different persons, and thus it becomes more like missions. But here ur only hired by one rich family, and ur only in one house, but u face an overwhelming number of safes and puzzles (35 or so as I remember). Now the puzzles, the problem is not solving the puzzle itself, the main issue is 'WHAT TO DO', if u know what should be done, then ur relying on ur logic or trial and error, if u don't know what to do, and u will waste quite some time figuring that out. There aren't alot of hints (which is a very serious defect), and if found the are direct to a stupid degree, I thought some vague hints would've been left near the safe, and u try to figure them out, but NO. The game is very hard, and very time consuming, not because its long, but because u will take a relatively long time figuring out what should u do. Other than that, the game is very fun, the graphics are amazing, and u will come to liking the safe cracking thing after a very short time of playing. Oh and the music is super useless. but since there's no story or suspense u don't need it that much anyway. So get ur self a paper, a pen, some patience, make trial and error ur best friend, and go on a cracking rampage.
