Secret City: Collection

I used to love Domini Games and waited eagerly for every release because they were so well done and had such smooth game play. In the past couple of years I noticed a change in quality, mostly with touch sensitivity and the crowded placement of the inventory bar, map, etc. These changes decreased the quality of my game play, but I wasn’t experiencing very many of the glitches that I kept reading about in the reviews, so I kept buying the games and just dealing with it.This game is the last Domini game that I’ll try. From the beginning, it didn’t fit on my iPad’s screen (never had that problem before with any game). I noticed that the problem with touch sensitivity was ever present, which makes game play very frustrating. I get to the HOG and one of the little circles that tells you if an artifact is present in a regular scene is covering up the writing of an object to be found. I was thinking I was done with the HOG and couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t getting out of the scene. With luck (and a lot of tapping around), I finally found out that it was the crown. I finished that and got back into the regular scenes, and realize that the items in my inventory are all moved over way to the right side of the bar and I can’t even see or get to all of them. This was all in the first 2 scenes of the game.I’m a patient person and I work with a lot of technology for both my job and for fun. I know I’m just one person and this review probably doesn’t matter, but just thought you should know that you lost a customer. Thank you for all earlier games.

The game was beautiful, lengthy, and had a terrific storyline. There was a nice variety of HO scenes and mini-games. Each location had an interesting plethora of tasks to accomplish. However the quality assurance was a complete disaster! The game play interface did not fit properly on my tablet screen. Therefore, text and dialogue were cut off. The inventory bar was cut off as well. There was a terrible lack of touchscreen sensitivity on the gameplay interface, both when acquiring inventory items, as well as trying to apply them. Certain puzzles were impossible to manipulate. Due to these issues, I did not really enjoy this game. It was merely average and the quality assurance was appalling! Oleg, this is getting ridiculous! The gamers deserve a game which functions properly! I am tired of such a poor level of quality assurance. My rating will remain at 3 stars.

In many scenes the left and right borders were cut off, making it impossible to see certain items. Also, the inventory was often cut off on the right side
