Not what I expected – Escape Games:cat will be hero Review

But growing on me as I got into it more. HATED the opening, and almost deleted as soon as I saw, despite knowing that there are cultural differences involved. As you play, it’s like you know exactly what you need to do, but a few times things just don’t quite click, as if this itty bitty part you need to figure something out, requires being in the developer’s mind. So, it’s partly intuitive, but also frustrating, esp if you see the hint n what you ‘missed’. I wasn’t buying all the 5 star comments, esp at the open. This isn’t The Room, Machinarium, or some other classic. Be noted, I just got a prompt to review and get 3 coins for free (until now, I could watch 2 ads for hint. Now I’m taking time to write an honest and real review. 3 coins is a hint and a half (useless, n prolly means limited ads for hints... n prolly dev thinks if I have half a hint, I’m more likely to buy an extra to have one actual hint. If so, and despite sort of getting into the story, I’ll be deleting this and not lose sleep. Apparently, just having any ability to get hints by watching ads was only added in the last update. If I had come across this prior to watching ads for hints or passing a cat fight (4 coins to pass ‘puzzles’, n that’s the only one I skipped, cuz it was a sudden ‘boss fight’ style ‘puzzle’ that you died before able to figure out how to hit n if u did get an obvious hit in, it didn’t seem to help. It’s worth trying, but don’t have any specific expectations. Btw, I do pay for games, and I play games that have one ad every 3-4 levels (put a pop up ad in the middle of gameplay that makes you lose, so u end up having to watch an ad for the chance to ‘try the level again’? Delete. Be kind about the amt of ads n placement timing, and also sell me on the game with hundreds of levels n new ones always coming? Sure, I’ll pay to remove those ads. But please don’t expect me to pay $2 per hint on a short game that’s merely one of countless thousands w/the same old style of mediocrity, of some short game that has zero replay ability. I guess I’ll go back to the game now and see if I am now at the ‘pay real money if u want anymore hints’ point...
