Reah: Face the Unknown
Player Reviews
Average score: 2.7 out of 5 (based on 12 ratings with 1 reviews)
Puzzles for the sake of puzzles.
The Good
This game has a similar feel to it as Myst or Riven. There is a huge amount of space to cover here, and it will take you many hours to complete this game (unless you use a walkthrough or hints). Some of the puzzles were enjoyable.
The Bad
I felt that this game was just a series of puzzles strung together with very little story. I like puzzle adventures in general, but I like some reward when I solve a puzzle, not merely another puzzle. I never felt like I was progressing in this game, just doing puzzle after puzzle, a few of which I needed to refer to a hint file. The voice acting (admittedly, this was a translation from Polish) was very poor.
The Bottom Line
If you like puzzle adventures ala Myst, you may like this game. I enjoyed Myst but did not like Reah. Myst had a good story to support it's string of puzzles. Reah is very short on story and very long on puzzles.
