The puzzles, despite their rude appearance, are fine. However, thanks to the higgledy-piggledy structure, you’ll be Googling walkthroughs before the first hour is through. That’s if you survive the voice acting that long.

So, points for making an effort with the 3D; it’s occasionally quite pretty. But then take them all away again for not thinking in 3D. Or in order. And then a kick in the face for the voice “acting.”

 

You'll love
  • Occasionally quite pretty
  • 3D environments
  • Reading the books instead
You'll hate
  • Gameplay is disjointed
  • Scouring every screen for a clue
  • Voice acting blows
