Disappointing - update January 2019 – Panmorphia LITE Review

I really wanted to like this game. It has great potential but was not designed well. Clues are poor or not present at all, required actions are very often counterintuitive and illogical, and items to find are frequently invisible. Navigation is different in practically every scene.... some have a back button, some have an X button, some need tapping at the bottom of the screen, some at the side.... it's very confusing. You can play in easy mode which will help you find things, but then the challenge is compromised. There's a hint system but it gives you answers, not hints. Still, you need it because at so many places the next step is so obscure and you're left clueless... literally. Two stars for beautiful graphics, a very good concept and pretty music. But minus three for the awkward, incomprehensible, and inelegant gameplay. I bought the whole game but it was a disappointment. It could have been good with some more expert design. UPDATE: Much of the awkward gameplay has been updated and the game flows more easily now. Navigation is easier to understand. I replayed and it all went much better. The game has some beautiful aspects. It's a lovely world to spend some time in.
