Sometimes great, sometimes not

Doesn't always work and sometimes confusing. I will play again to see if it still has kinks.

Great game, but I cannot give it a full 5 stars. The story was very interesting, combining history, art and the inventions of Leonardo da Vinci. Settings could be customized. The graphics were beautiful, as the story was set in Florence, Italy, a city that I visited many years ago and loved! There were tons of locations to unlock, and loading was instantaneous between them. You collect coins in order to buy inventory to progress through the game. Also there were other collectibles which gave you more historical facts about da Vinci. The game was lengthy with a long bonus adventure. Hints were not spoilers, and you collect fans for extra hints. There was a terrific secret room, which you need to use in order to finish the game! Inventory was labeled, but no true plus items. The HO scenes were interesting and varied, as were the puzzles/mini-games. You have to collect and assemble map pieces in order to use the teleport map. One of the reasons I deducted a star was that the teleport map did not let you know of an available action; only if the location was complete, which meant it was fairly useless and you had to run around all over Florence! But there were tons of things to do at each location so at least the game did not feel tedious. Another reason that I deducted a star was that at times the grammar was atrocious, you could not create a true profile (I have a name which is not player), and object placement could be a bit glitchy at times. But all in all, the game ran quite smoothly. And always a plus for me, only one small mouse in one of the locations and NO RATS! This game was definitely worth playing, and I would definitely want a sequel, but give us a more helpful teleport map so we know when tasks are available and don't waste time. However, all in all a fantastic game, BigFish and ERS! Big shout out to the Dream Team Elite! Glad to have you back, Blueflier! Once again, Kim Twilight, your review is nonpareil! Remember, team, WE are getting better games and the big shots at BigFish have personally thanked me on behalf of the best review team out there! So please keep doing your best to be thorough! Lynxie sends ?❤️? to all!

Just okay.Sofar no glitches but kind of boring. Hoping for better. Little or no instructions on puzzles and/ or games. Glad it has a map. Lots of jumping around. often wondered why creators of games give you a scissors, for example, you use it and a couple scenes later, you need to look for something else that cuts. These detectives sure are stupid. Would I throw away a scissors or matches or anything that I might need later on...I don't think so. Just venting.
Ticking me off
Old but playing
Loved this game until it let me do a task out of order, now it's not recognizing that I have the object I need to continue, nor can I get the item to do the task. I don't like paying for games I'm not going to be able to complete, unless i start over. On the up side, it is a long game, but there's a lot of back and forth. Excellent morphing map, but if you can't finish the game...there's really no point now is there?
Not as good as previous games by developer

The mini games were good but the flow of the story line did not make sense most of the time. I had to use a lot of hints, which I usually don't do, but the next step was not always clear or have a purpose to the storyline. I'm glad it was on sale- not much thought went into the story.
Another great game

I call the Producer the "Big Bunny", and nearly every game they produce is polished and well made. Sure, no game is perfect, but I had no glitches on my iPad Air, with the most recent iOS downloaded. Good graphics, a more than usual plot, with a little history thrown in. Didn't have to worry about mice, the hint button and map could both be used to solve your troubles. I never had to use the "walk through", although I do not like the "New" Big Fish's policy of having this "off Game", (and I very much dislike the "New" Big Fish policy of forcing a purchase before you get to try it first!!). I don't know what happened when Big Fish was bought out, but I miss the "old" Big Fish! I have always relied on the reviews, but now I Never buy a game any more unless the DT rate it highly. Nevertheless, this game was very good in all aspects, and I highly recommend it. The HO's are mixed, including shadows, words, and place the objects, so you never get bored. I liked that. I agree with another reviewer in another game, I wish Big Fish would let us know Up-Front, who the game producer really is (and I done mean BF). Other new producers deserve a chance, but the older tried-and-true companies have done a good job of keeping their games clean and new, and now that many of the new BF games have no free trial, it means you have to "Buy-and-hope". Well, enjoy, this is a very good game.
Enjoyable
