What players say

Players consistently mention the beautiful underwater artwork, but many say the story is weaker than earlier Dark Parables games. The shift to developer Eipix divided fans: some find the puzzles enjoyable, others call them annoying and repetitive. The bonus game has a known glitch, and in-game achievements don't sync with Steam.
