Age of Enigma: The Secret of the Sixth Ghost

[table] [tr] [th]Byte-sized review[/th] [th]Losing spirit[/th] [/tr] [tr] [td][b]Review in under a minute[/b][/td] [td][b][i]Age of Enigma: The Secret of the Sixth Ghost[/i][/b] is about as rudimentary as a point and click adventure game can get. With unspiring artwork, a hodgepodge of ghost stories cobbled together that don't really mesh well to make a cohesive story-telling experience. The game promises a captivating and spellbinding story but each ghost and their dismal tale seems like they were plucked from better source material and the secret of the sixth ghost is no secret at all if you have half a brain cell inside your head because you certainly don't have to be a Sherlock Holmes / Hercule Pirot to see where this is all headed. Puzzles are tedious, thank god you can just skip all of them, and for some reason the game's resolution is locked to 1024x768. Back in the nineties when these sort of games were all in vogue, [b][i]Age of Enigma: The Secret of the Sixth Ghost[/i][/b] would still have been considered a weak effort.[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td][b]One word or phrase to sum up the experience[/b][/td] [td]Boring and unimaginative to the point of being sleep inducing[/td] [/tr] […

Agradavel. Alguns puzzles interessantes.

Age of Enigma is a very forgettable point and click game with some hidden object sections. There are better alternatives to both on Steam. If you want a good hidden object game, just play any Artifex Mundi developed (not just published) game.

This is a great "snack sized" game. The story is straightforward and easily followed, and the graphics are decent, nothing taxing on your system. Yay for no HO scenes!! You receive a mysterious letter and with your trusty dog you set off on an adventure... It's easy to see what the puzzles are after, but getting there requires a bit of brainwork. The memory puzzles are harder than it seems, and the dice (spatial orientation) puzzle was killer. Just enough to stretch the grey matter a bit and then on to the ending. The only negative comment I have is the audio. Some of the VO (voiceover) work is not actually VO more like MO (mumblingover) in different timbres to reflect the different characters, like the LEGO games, but not anywhere near as good. Additionally, the music (esp. the ending) sounds very amateurish. But it wasn't enough to stop me from playing, though I will admit to taking my headphones off about halfway through and not missing it. A quick time waster and a good story. Would be nice to see Ashley and Isaac's further adventures.

Best Story Game. LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Took under five hours to complete this game. The graphics are pretty good, and that's what encouraged me to give it a try. The story is pretty awful, even for a HOPA. The puzzles are repetitive and sometimes broken, at least two did not work properly. I played it with my eleven year old and neither of us thought that the game was very good. Boring and bland. Lacked anything to make you interested in the game and no elements stood out. Not horrible, but not good. Can't recommend it. Even if you got it for free, I'm not sure that I'd take the time to play through it. The ending makes it seem like this was meant to be the start of a series but then it just ends and there are no sequels, which is best, because you definitely don't want to keep playing this.
