Completed Game approximately 4.5 hours
(including completion of all mini-games & CE Bonus Chapter)
18 Main Game Scene Locations +8 Bonus Chapter
Difficulty Range: Beginner-Intermediate

Professor Blackmore is alive and well after all these years, hiding in the shadows, lurking in the dark, and waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. Naturally, he has summoned Saint Germain to do his evil biddings, more than once, in fact, and now the lives of Dupin, Estelle, the Puppet Master, and the Cardinal are in mortal danger. Dr. Blackmore has invented some morbid devices in the past, but his latest invention is the cruelest of all, for it robs its victim of their free will until all that remains is a zombified ghost of the past, unrecognized by even death himself!

Who doesn't remember the sick twisted experiments of The Greenhills Sanitarium or Fears From Childhood? Who doesn't gasp when they see Saint Germain meddling in all your affairs? Who doesn't love the Puppet Master or the familiar face of the Cardinal as he gently stroked his poor cat that looked like he has been around the block several times and is working on his 10th or 11th life, and of course we love Detective Dupin! The story started out really good but it's almost as if they forgot where they were going with it or didn't actually have an "end game" Dr. Blackmore makes an appearance to show he's the evildoer and the mastermind behind the whole plan but where did he go, are we okay with the fact that no one even talks about him once all's said and done. St. Germain makes a few appearances and slips through the cracks but that's always his MO, he always lives to see another day, but the last chapter was literally bouncing all over the place and I never understood whether the event that took place in chapter 3 was the truth or if what happened in chapter 4 was the reality, the loopholes were huge and none of it made sense because there were too many discrepancies, as if the ending was slapped in place at the last minute to get the game ready when clearly it wasn't!

There were so many glitches in the game, the first part worked flawlessly, by chapter 3 it was skipping, the music was getting stuck on the same note, the voices weren't matching up, some of the dialogs was just completely missing it didn't even have music, it was complete silence! This is what leads me to believe that this game wasn't ready for game day!

☽☾Collectibles☼ CE Version Only
Once again Amax is skimping on the CE Bling because they believe that eventually, we will come to accept that THIS is normal! Once again, There are NO Morphing Objects. There are No Hidden Collectibles. There are 14 Zoom-Zone Moon Crystals to click on, they aren't really hidden, they are colorful and in plain sight, the zoom-zone doesn't even close automatically until the crystal has been picked up, so I consider these "Clickables", not Collectibles because they don't present any challenge whatsoever. Each Moon Crystal Unlocks 1/7 Devices that contain a Scroll with stories from the Keeper of Untold Stories. The stories are available individually as each one is unlocked. (you don't have to wait until the end of the game) This game is NOT CE WORTHY, in my opinion, wait for the SE version!

◔Hidden Object Scenes◕
There are 21 Hidden Object Scenes 9 in the CE Bonus Chapter, including several smaller Zoom-Zone Hidden Object Scenes which usually preceded the larger main HO scenes. I'm not usually a fan of HO's but they actually did a decent job with them, there's a nice variety, but I will give you a heads-up that some scenes tend to be rather dark, and the objects are partially hidden behind other objects, very small and at times, unrecognizable, especially when they add fog for special effects. I really wish developers would add a Skip option to the HOP's because most of the time the alternate Match 3 games they offer are just as boring so they are both just a complete waste of time for most seasoned players. Most of the HO's are Interactive List Finds but there are also Silhouetted Shape Finds, Multiples of the Same Object Finds, Fragmented Item Finds, Find & Replace, Finding Pictured Ingredients, Finding Stones & Tiles, Uncovering Matching Pairs, and Removing Related Pairs, There are no alternate Puzzles available.

♙Mini-Games♙
There are 33 Mini-Games +11 in the CE Bonus Chapter, and they are mostly tile swapping of every variation imaginable or moving tiles along a track type of puzzles. Here are some of my personal favorites:
1-Eliminate 20 Bats in the dark by clicking on them. (warning! they do jump out at you...hilarious but super fun whomp-a-bat!) დდდ
2-Use clues you find to overcome obstacles.
3-Select discs to change the speed it rotates to pass each ball between the disc at the same time. დდ
4-Navigate 3 characters thru the map by standing on platforms to open & close matching colored doors. დდდ

✯Bonus Chapter (Collector's Edition version only)✯
This is the part of the story that coincides with the main story when Dupin asked Estelle to search for the parts necessary to complete the Astral Key because she is one of the Watchers who is able to visit the Astral World. Unfortunately, it takes place over the same 8 boring scenes as the fourth and final chapter of the main game which was agonizing for me personally. There are 11 mini-games and 9 hidden object scenes (including smaller zoom-zones) and you will find the final 3 Zoom-Zone Moon Crystals to unlock the final story scrolls.

♕Collector's Edition Extra's♕
7 Wallpapers, 7 Concept Art Pictures, 4 Music Soundtracks, 15 Achievements, 12 Replayable Mini-Games, 12 Replayable Hidden Object Scenes,14 Zoom Zone Moon Crystals to unlock 7 Devices (Each one requires 2 crystals to open a scroll to read a page in the story), 4 Main Chapters +Bonus Chapter and a Built-In Strategy Guide. Once again, this doesn't look like a whole lot of CE bling to me???

i loved the first one - The Beginning - however this one was a let down.

Should be more a 2.5 than a 3.

I guess I shouldn't compare the original with this one however ............. the original was so fresh and took so much from all the other games = this one just had the characters and hasn't taken anything from their own games.

For example - in the original it had the puppetshows ...Show more

i loved the first one - The Beginning - however this one was a let down.

Should be more a 2.5 than a 3.

For example - in the original it had the puppetshows theatre, workshop and hospital. The original also had a couple of puppets this one had 1 puppet and it was killed off after 30 seconds.

I think if you are taking characters from other games you need to be true to the characters and take some of their games with them (such as the original did).

Overall it was uninspiring and a rehash of the original.

And what happened to the ending - 2 versions of it ???? I would have preferred Dr Blackmore dies if it saves having another chapter.

Think i will give the next chapter a miss - as i said uninspired.

Play before you buy - happy gaming :) Show less

I have only played the CE trial version but that was enough for me. This sequel is so disappointing I don't know why they bothered.
I always custom my game play and it does not include sparkles etc but at least three times the game gave me hints of where to find things. The puzzles were largely simplistic and boring and where are the morphing items and collectibles? I wasted a bit of time looking for them. There are these weird red rock things but they were no challenge whatsoever and no idea why they are to be collected.
I've been away from BFG for a while and when I returned World's Aligned was the first new game I picked up as I'm a big fan of the contributing games but after this game it'll be a hard pass. I thought gameplay was supposed to be improving not going backwards by about 10 years? Show less

I don't recommend this game.
