Sacra Terra: Kiss of Death Collector’s Edition

Horrendous experience. I absolutely loved the first game, so when I saw so many negative reviews for the second one, I was rather confused. What could go so wrong? Is it really that bad? And boy, calling it bad would be an understatement - it's horrible. The game is so broken, that it may end for you after first 3-4 minutes. Literally the very first HOG scene has an item, that can't be grabbed. I'm talking about knife. You may check local forum - this knife has separate thread. I clicked probably hundred times on this knife, around the knife, was restarting HOG scene, restarting game, almost gave up. And after 20 minutes it somehow unbuged and registered this cursed knife. Ok, one critical bug and that's it? - hell, no. Another one is on the bridge at the crossroads. Literally was searching for the item that wasn't there. Had to check video guide - dude was struggling with this mess just like I am. In the end, turns out, you have to click at empty space 6-7 cm on the right from the object, so it will finally work. Well, now it's finally over? Nah. Again, check the forum - there are even more critical bugs. I only had 2. But that's not all bugs that I had. Literally every HOG scene has broken hitboxes. There were almost no items that could be registered after single click - most of them required at least 2-3 clicks. Some of them 5-7. Sometimes you click on one item, but it registeres another one 2-3 cm away. I played few dozens of HOGs and so far, this one is the most broken that I've ever seen. Overall experience was so painful, that I honestly don't even want to search for any pros here. I mean, developer does not care - why should I? People were reporting about these problems since 2017 and nothing was done to fix this mess.

Am liebsten hätte ich auf Empfehlen geklickt, aber durch einen Vorfall habe ich es mir leider anders überlegt. Das Spiel scheint generell verbuggt zu sein, denn wenn ich die Seelen gerettet habe, sehe ich immernoch die Geister, bis ich diesen Ort verlasse oder die Karte zeigt mir Bereiche an, wo eigentlich nichts mehr zu erledigen war und das war dieser Vorfall. Das Hauptspiel hatte ich fast geschafft, als ich auf der Karte den letzten Bereich aufsuchte, wo ich längst die Seelen rettete. Ich klickte auf eine Stelle, wo ein Wimmelbild bereits abgeschlossen war, als ich dann plötzlich stecken blieb. Ich konnte dann nicht mehr weg. Menü und Tagebuch waren noch anklickbar und wenn ich das Spiel wieder neu startete, war ich immernoch verbuggt und auch das neuinstallieren brachte nichts mehr. Daher bin ich leider gezwungen das Spiel nochmal komplett neu zu spielen. Eine richtig dumme Situation, sodass ich die negativen Bewertungen von manchen Spielern nachvollziehen kann.

Красивая игра. Зачем там была астролябия?

I am 50/50 about this one. Although it has a nice story, there are a few cons. Some items needs too many clicks, some can't be seen, map isn't that helpful and graphics way out of date. I can recommend it only if found real cheap.

FUN TO PLAY

Dieses Spiel hier ist noch nicht fertig entwickelt worden. Die fertige Version ist anscheinend nicht bei STEAM zu beziehen.

Bobinho demais, a história é tão ruim que dá a impressão de que todos os personagens são loucos, apesar de não ser a intenção dos criadores.

If you like a pure HOG you will probably like this. The plot was nice and straightforward; the bonus section fit nicely - which is not always the case with this style of game. The hidden object scenes themselves were old fashioned and beautiful with recognizable objects and not cut and paste. A couple of very minor nits - on the bonus section the things to do section on the map was not always accurate and also in the bonus section some of the object hot spots were very close to the exit. And contrary to a number of peoples comments - all the achievements worked fine for me.
