The Lone Survivor - Adventure

I love puzzle adventure games. And even tho I’m smart I don’t like puzzle adventure games that have no logic and are frustratingly hard. These games are perfect. My mind has to work to solve the puzzles and find the objects I need to solve them. Hints direct you to a scene for a clue, a tool or a puzzle to be solved. I love this. It gives me a chance to go to the scene and see if I can figure it out. 99% of the time I do. Well worth it.

So, I figured for five dollars, I’d get something intriguing and engaging. A story line with an actual plot maybe? Nope. You literally just wander around the forest and solve puzzles. No interaction with NPCs, no mystery or intrigue. No really difficult scenes, no thrilling plot. There’s no conflict, climax, resolution scheme to it. No plot whatsoever. It took me less than an hour to finish. The puzzles were all incredibly easy. There were no more than two or three interactive objects in a scene, and most only had one. I love hidden object puzzle games, but this was basically just the world’s worst put together collection of mini games for the eight year old mind. Only things I can’t complain about were the sound and the graphics. The backgrounds were really well done, and the music was pleasant to have as background noise. Honestly, most I would pay for a game like this is a dollar, maybe two. Not worth the five dollars I paid.

I love such kind of games so I decided to download the lone survivor and it’s one of the best that I’ve tried. Graphics is beautiful, it looks so true-to-live that you feel really lost, music makes an atmosphere even better. During the game I faced a lot of interesting challenges so I couldn’t get bored. All in all it is worth all the money.
