Dark City: Munich (F2P)

The game is okay, I like the story and the graphics. Puzzles aren’t too tough, so it’s a good relaxing game before bed. BUT I hate that to play the bonus game you have to buy gems or buy the bonus game. I’ve played hundreds of this type of app over the years and never ever have I seen a game where you have to buy the bonus chapter. Just make it part of the initial price. Bummer that I did the whole main game but don’t get to do any of the bonus extras I love because I’m not going to pay $1.99 just for the bonus chapter. Edit after developer response: I want to make sure you know I totally think the game is worth the money! It was just disappointing to finish the main game just to find out the bonus game is a charge. I guess it technically makes sense to pay for bonus features, but it’s not the norm so was an unwelcome surprise. Not a fan of paying for hints either. I never used them, but the amount of gems you have by the end of the game aren’t enough to buy the bonus. I like the game, love the graphics and story, I think they’re better than the other big “hidden object” type developers. Only thing I think could use some adjusting is the gem system. It’s my only turn off to the games. But I’ll keep playing them!!

I just downloaded the game but so far this is one of the best hidden object games I’ve come across. The story line is intriguing, with voice acting and thematic music to enrich the gameplay and bringing you into the world. Another bonus is that you do it scene by scene instead of going to multiple places and having to back track, to stay in a localized area until all clues have been found. The puzzles are fun and just the perfect amount of difficulty and variety to keep you sucked in for awhile!

The best thing about this game is that you can complete a quest before moving on to the next one.... in other words you don't have to travel back to scenes all over the place, only within that particular scene. In some cases you really had to look hard, as pieces you needed to move on were hard to find. I did have to use a few hints, but this game was easier to follow, than some other games i've played. Mini games, once you caught on to what was needed were interesting to play. However, one mini game was way too difficult to solve and I ended up having to buy some hints to skip that one. I'm an 81 year-old female, so give me some slack.... Graphics and animations were good, however no where as good as Five-BN games. That being said, in the end, it didn't matter because this game was 10 times easier to follow. Definitely gets a A from me.
