"On" The Record: This "Stone" Is Rock Solid! Sort of! – Off the Record: Liberty Stone - A Mystery Hidden Object Game (Full) Review

UPDATE: I've reluctantly deducted an additional star due to the offensively short playtime of the bonus chapter. I think I finished in a record time of less than a 1/2 hour, and I'm a slow player. I feel like my pocket was ripped off of a well-earned dollar! So we have the modern-times feud between the "Sterlings-Montagues" and the "Walkers-Capulets." Caught in the middle is not just love this time. Well......you'll see. The setting depicts a refreshing environment within a Caribbean island paradise where you travel around wind-blown palm trees; lit-up, tented patios; crystal-clear pools with fruit-filled tables; and lush-filled jungles, which cover hills that extend towards the ocean. The graphics are fairly satisfactory and clear; however, some scenes appear blemished and muddled, which is indicative of impurity and unsophisticated talent. The colors radiate light, airy, and pastel-like tinges to promote a more spirited and vivacious atmosphere. The instrumental music is both mild and pacifying to achieve a vacation-like relaxation. The inventory is labeled and interactive; items require assembly. As is customary with this developer, you cannot customize your settings. I've grown tired of articulating about this hindrance. Even with the disregard of customized settings, the teleport map, at least in the second mode, is nonessential in that your journey is quite linear. Transition between scenes is swift and fluid. The HOS are abundant, innovational, and stimulating in presentation and ideas; they are cutting-edge with an expansive variety of clever and ingenious approaches on gameplay. I have an instinctive predilection for thought-provoking puzzles that abstain from conventional and unoriginal types; I love the one where you choose sketches of the attacker's face. You have several sets of collectibles; they are fairly conspicuous in placement. One other positive aspect to be conveyed is that this developer finally heeded our calls to place the map on the main layout in lieu of placement under the menu. I deducted a star due to omissions of both customized settings and a journal. This installment expresses a high level of interaction, variety, and creativity that renders this worth playing. LynxMinx: Thank you for your kind words. I guess I can attribute some skill to the many years I worked in the legal field. Hope you are feeling well.
