Nemezis: Mysterious Journey III Prologue

I think that Nemezis: Mysterious Journey III Prolog is a very good, beautiful-looking, and intriguing mini-game. It's short - only a couple of puzzles - but entertaining, and with some interesting dialogue and lovely graphical details everywhere. It made me want to get the full game... until I read the reviews for it which make it seem like a disappointingly poor continuation of this Prolog. I will buy and play the full game at some point, I hope, but not without a significant discount on its full price of more than UK £15.

The first impression of this tourism planet Regilus, sitting on the outer edge of the solar system is metallic and futuristic – golden domes looking units were linked by bamboo looking metal bridges. The ecosystem seems to be diverse as you can see toucans, a cat, butterflies, a couple of exotic cranes and all sorts of exotic plants. The first NPC is an old granny. I don’t really understand what does “Every paradise finally becomes a curse. Time no longer matters.” mean here. Maybe she found out the dark side of this planet and felt being trapped. The second NPC is a middle-aged scientist who invented interstellar travelling devices, liquid to make bad memories and the equipment to recover energy wasted by children. Okay, that’s very creative and he looks happy to be on this planet. The player’s goal is to solve laser puzzles to be teleported to the Andromeda Hotel. If you played other laser puzzle games before, it’s nothing like those games. There are heavy metal discs that you need to spin to let the laser go through. What an inefficient way of using resources and energy. But it’s a game, so it has to be this way. I was wondering what’s in those golden domes looking un…

[h3] Neutral review. [/h3] [b]Free To Play [/b] This is another Myst franchise wanna-be. Similar graphics and puzzles concepts, even the music style. The voice acting is seriously bad which puts me off getting the main game. I can see how this would appeal to some, but I think I'm going to pass based on the prolog.

Saw lots of the mixed reviews on this game of how the puzzles are extremely difficult, so tried the demo first. Puzzles took time but had logic behind it and I was able to solve them with not much difficulty. Story line seems intriguing so far and the puzzles did need you to think a little more broadly. The scenery was pretty nice. However, there is quite a bit of motion blur and sensitivity (even with motion blur as 'ON'). I will debate more if I should get the actual game or not.
