Reflections of Life: Spindle of Fate

I've played a lot hidden objects games. This one one of the worst. Game never explains you why you can't use any of item out of inventory even if it's logical. Never explains anything about active zones. Just annoying sound. Also game tends to give you lots of items in the inventory which leads to combinatoric explosion since you have almost no choice but use everything on everything. Also some of puzzles just stupid. [spoiler]For example puzzle with crystal petals. I couldn't get any clue why they rotate this way but not another and why there is another set of petals underneath.[/spoiler] Some puzzles just tedious. Some puzzles are pretty nice, to be fair, but they not saving the situation. And, icing on the cake, sometimes the game gives out really stupid plot moves. For example, [spoiler]you rescue a prisoner from a dungeon and he gives you a garden scoop[/spoiler]. :)

Played many HOGs and point-and-click adventure games but this beats the lot for sheer confusion (what on earth is it about?), lack of plot and totally illogical puzzles. Got to the point of the petals puzzle and just gave up. Overly fantastic, even by HOG standards and some puzzles were just tedious (eg shifting something around a large board using various numbers). Not for me.

10/10 There is also a "Skip" button that will allow the player to skip a puzzle.

Bad, This HOG would make sense if I smoked crack. Since I don't, this HOG makes zer0 sense.

excellent

A little too short, but I liked this game. Good story and beautiful art!
