Adventure Escape Mysteries

I was super surprised to see an indie developer in the credits, because this app has repeatedly delivered hours and hours of joy and brain stretches. There's nothing I love more than needing to grab some scratch paper and expand a puzzle, whether it be simple algebra, combining nonsensical symbols, or figuring out what order to add ingredients to a beaker. This game provides a wide range of stories and a huge variety of puzzles, and the rush of joy when I complete a particularly difficult puzzle is rare and savored. That being said: There are some small bugs that will halt your way, and require a hint-skip to bypass them, but they can be counted on one hand. You may find yourself clicking around the screen looking for your next interactable, and throwing each item in your inventory at the problem at hand, hoping one will stick. These moments, in my opinion, are made up for when I run into a really delicious puzzle. And when I get stuck, I take that break... and work on a different episode instead. Seriously, there are dozens of different stories, and you can easily play multiple concurrently without spoiling anything for yourself. I appreciate the keys cooldown because I'm a busy human being -- I can jump in and complete a level, and I won't get sucked in because the cooldown forces me to wait. If you're an avid doomscroller like me, it's the stop sign you secretly need. My two cents for when you're stuck: One, open the hint option and read the hint's title before you "buy" it -- often that'll tell you where to focus your attention if you're hitting dead ends. Two, major props to App Unwrapper, who has in-depth guides on each story. Lately I've been using their puzzle solutions for a quick peek in the right direction, and use that peek to solve the rest myself. Overall, highly recommend for the everyday puzzle-solver, and anyone with a box of scrap paper begging to be doodled on.

J'adore ce jeu! Plusieurs scénarios! vraiment le fun!

NCIS game was a pile of ♥♥♥♥♥♥ conservative propaganda. Hard to be enthusiastic about catching a "terrorist" when she is entirely and completely right. Drop dead you Zionist morons. What a nauseating plot.

I'm just not into games that promote in-app purchasing (or whatever it would be called on Steam). I'd rather just buy a game outright and have everything included. In-app purchasing just feels scammy to me. YMMV. Anyway, the game plays like one of those things you see advertised for two bucks for a tablet or phone. Find items, try to put them together, can't find one item, need a hint so it asks you to buy a key or a star or whatever. No thanks.

very fun puzzles, really makes you think sometimes

not the best game, full of paid for games, lost direction to what i was meant to do, however if willing to pay then sure could be fun
