Forgotten Hill Tales

creepy fun times 8/10

Perhaps one of the strongest entries in the series. The game tells several separate stories that are short and to the point, but still require some thought to solve. I never ran into any truly hopeless moments. Even when I got stuck, taking a break and coming back later with a fresh mind was enough to solve the puzzle without looking up a guide. The core gameplay is the same as always: find a code and figure out where it goes. There are also a few mini-games here and there

Forgotten Hills is easy to compare to Rusty Lake games. FH is better than RL, because RL are guessing games with scarce logic, whereas FH are actual puzzle games that requires you to figure out patterns. Tales is challenging, although there are some kids games inserts that were a bad choice by the team. If you like using your noggin, you'll like this game.

very addictive series of games, played for hours

Clicking the "?" was getting me nowhere, so I eventually caved and went looking for the walkthrough. Turns out there was an area on the screen that I was supposed to click that is incredibly difficult to spot because it blends right in with everything else ([spoiler]seriously, that gap in the wood looked exactly the same as all the other gaps, like there was nothing about it that drew my eye to that area[/spoiler]). Very rage-inducing end to an otherwise alright experience. [b]Portrait of an Obsession[/b] I think it’s pretty good for what you get, but I swear there had to be at least two instances of me clicking around and nothing happening, which incorre…
