Nowhere near as good as Episode I – The House of Da Vinci 2 Review

I played the first Episode several times, and was always impressed with its logic, functionality and beauty. Episode II has the beauty, but the logic simply stinks. The next step after solving any one puzzle is a shot in the dark, not following logically at all. I am about halfway through, I suppose, and have spent a great deal of my time simply waiting at least for the first hint to be presented, so I can begin to guess what unusual place to look for yet another odd switch. Pretty exasperating and not much fun. Currently, I am trying to place some odd piece of machinery into a winch. No idea why that is necessary, but it simply won’t work. I’m about to give up on this game completely. Please in your next installment, if there is to be one, employ some programmers with a bit of practical knowledge of real machinery, and who can invent puzzles that stimulate creative thinking, not just “here’s another weird button or switch. Guess where it goes!”
