REVIEW FROM COMPLETED GAME AND BONUS

Well done devs. This game is awesome.

There is:

* Voiceovers (with dialogue);
* Casual, Hard, Insane and Custom modes of play;
* Interactive map;
* Journal;
* 12 Achievements (some with 3 stars).

The graphics are stunning with plenty of colour. Each scene is well defined and items you need are easy to see. Sound is good and the music is orchestral and guitar.

The hidden object games are mainly straightforward and silhouette. Items you need are clear to see. Each HOP has one morphing object. Some of these are hard to spot, so keep an eye out.

The mini-games range from easy to medium. I played them all and really enjoyed them. There are also four super puzzles to do - three in the main game and one in the bonus. These are a variety of mini-games within each puzzle. Some of these are easy and others more difficult. I had to battle with my son which games to do as he wanted to do them all and I wouldn't let him cause I didn't want to share them. I'm leaving this game on so he can do them without me nagging him to go away.

So, do you get the CE or SE? In the CE, there are 40 stamps to find throughout the game and bonus, 19 replayable HOPs, 25 replayable puzzles and a Souvenir Room where you will go to ten different scenes to find an item. Get them all and you get an achievement.

Make sure you use the interactive at least once so you get the achievement.

All up the game took me many hours to play and I was sad when it finished. Its a busy game with plenty to do and I loved the super puzzles. Can't wait for the next one.

Overall, a perfect game to play. Happy playing fishies. Show less

I recommend this game!

The Master Detective of the Mystery Case Files agency is definitely a seasoned slueth, but are you ready to face (The Archivist) which may be your most masterful opponent yet? When your case takes you to the mysterious Zenith Museum of Oddities, you quickly get caught up in a complex web of danger and deceit. Agents Chloe Watson, Blake Parker, and Aiden Miller have all been captured in there attempts to investigate the Zenith Museum but were no match for the ultimate protagonist (THE ARCHIVIST). Now it's up to you Master Detective to save all three (3) of the captured agents and like "Moths to a Flame" you'll be drawn to this extraordinary case from the very beginning until it's surprising conclusion! Kudos to Eipix Entertainment, which has created the first Mystery Case files sequel of 2019, the nineteenth installment in this fan-favorite HOPA franchise! This sequel also references fan favorites such as "The Raven Hearst Case, Madame Fate's Carnival, and The Broken Hours Case too"!!!

Mystery Case Files: Moths to a Flame does not only excel on the story level, but also on all other dimensions. The complexity of the gameplay is quite astounding. From the hidden object scenes to the puzzles, every single element is incredibly well thought out and crafted. Even the adventure components are cleverly layered and offer plenty of challenge, the whole game feels like one giant entertaining puzzle. Furthermore, Eipix also saves some of their best graphics for this game. The intricate artwork is elevated by fantastic lighting, breathtaking animations, and a simply mind-blowing production quality. In the same vein, the soundtracks and the voice acting are superb and help enhance the immersive experience of the game.

Whether you think this is the best Mystery Case Files game or not totally depends on your personal preference, but the t game definitely does not waste a single minute of its Six and a half hours runtime. I chose to purchase the CE version. The Collector’s Edition features a hour long bonus chapter plus the usual CE bling; a strategy guide, wallpapers, concept art, soundtracks, videos, repayable hidden object scenes, repayable puzzles, achievements, collectibles, morphing objects, and a souvenir room.

This is one MCF edition fans don't want to miss and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this latest installment! Cheers...

Super game! Terrific graphics, puzzles out of the usual and a little tricky. I LOVE being able to go back at the end and find missed collectibles and morphing objects, and to go to the souvenir room. Very long game and like I said not as easy as usual. I highly recommend this game.

This game is right up there with the top MCF games like the first ones in the series. I really enjoyed it alot. They could have been a little bit more creative with some of the puzzles, but overall this was a great game and deserved it's 5 stars.

I recommend this game!

This has a modern feel that makes for smooth, good paced game play while still keeping the flavour of earlier games. In particular, Madame Fate, with a circus/amusement park type setting at one point, and all the characters we know and love popping up in mini games now and again. It even has the old sytle mega puzzles. If you're into the nostalgia of the first few games, this is a must. Lots of ...Show more

I don't review many games, but I have to let fans of the original Mystery Case Files know that this one is a home run. They finally got it right again. It plays like the older games with weird twists and turns, unique puzzles and great dialog. I'm happy with the ending, because I'm hoping to see another MCF of this quality in my game playing future.

I recommend this game!
