Just a quick entry so I have a record of what I’ve done.

A game that needs no introduction and probably doesn’t need my opinion on it. I finally got around to picking up the missing DLCs last year and this year decided to get it off my ‘beaten’ list and into my ‘completed/100%’ list. I remember buying this game around release and being hooked, but after modding to hell and several save files getting corrupted it took me until 2016 to actually beat the game.

After my pet recommended The Room 2 so much I figured I’d pick up the first game in series during the sale. Not much to say, after playing the 2nd one first I feel like I’ve ruined my expectations. The 2nd one is better, but this game isn’t bad.

DH3 felt like a very short game compared to some of the other HOGs and the puzzles / hidden object scenes are very easy. The game however is very polished compared to other artifex games, the production value is up considerably. The game can be completed in one playthrough which I feel is a must for HOG games, it has a quick travel via the map, you aren’t forced to play mahjong, all big plusses imo. The art is a big improvement to some other entries. The story and voice work do feel like a big let down however.
