Captivating – XON Episode Four Review

Just finished playing XON 4 and have to say it was one of the best games I've ever played. I was skeptical at first considering the reviews that said the puzzles were so complicated that I would have to use walk-throughs to finish. I mean, what's the point in that? I was able to finish the game over a couple of weeks all on my own. I think the only requirement for doing so is patience and fully immersing oneself in the game environment. Everything you need to complete the game is readily available. I tend to approach these "Myst"-like games by imagining that I am truly there and have no outside help. Isn't that the whole point? If you want a game that really tests your ability to think things through, XON 4 is awesome. I like the fact that sometimes I would have to sleep on it and wake up in the morning with some new ideas about how to approach the next chapter. I like the way it became an alternate world that I was temporarily living in for a couple of weeks. I like the way it stretched my brain out and challenged me. I highly recommend this game for those who are ready to take on the challenge of turning a mysterious world into something you know like the back of your hand. BTW, I've never written a review for a game before...I just felt compelled to share my experience and thank the developers for a fascinating experience.
