Decent and straightforward point-and-click adventure with a variety of puzzles ranging from simple to somewhat challenging.
Good artistic style with hand-drawn backgrounds and character designs that add charm and atmosphere.
Suitable as a short, casual game or a snack-sized experience for those looking to pass the time without intense difficulty.

Storyline is weak, clichéd, and unmemorable, with stereotypical characters and predictable plot development.
Gameplay is overly simplistic with repetitive and sometimes broken puzzles, minimal voice acting, and very basic mechanics.
Technical limitations such as fixed low resolution and lack of settings memory detract from the experience.

The story in "Age of Enigma" is generally seen as simple, predictable, and somewhat disjointed, with mixed ghost tales that lack cohesion and surprise. While some find it mildly enjoyable or a decent backdrop for the puzzles, many consider it weak, unoriginal, and the least compelling aspect of the game.
- “A quick time waster and a good story.”
- “Best story game.”
- “It was a good mix of puzzles, and the story was enjoyable enough.”
- “With uninspiring artwork, a hodgepodge of ghost stories cobbled together that don't really mesh well to make a cohesive storytelling experience.”
- “The game promises a captivating and spellbinding story but each ghost and their dismal tale seems like they were plucked from better source material and the secret of the sixth ghost is no secret at all if you have half a brain cell inside your head because you certainly don't have to be a Sherlock Holmes / Hercule Poirot to see where this is all headed.”
- “Age of Enigma’s story is mundane at best and camp at worst.”

The graphics are generally described as decent to above average, featuring nice, hand-drawn artwork with a simple, non-animated style that is not demanding on systems. While visually appealing to some players, the style may feel somewhat basic or uninspired to others. Overall, the graphics provide a pleasant aesthetic but are not the game's standout feature.
- “The graphics are pretty good, and that's what encouraged me to give it a try.”
- “Very nice graphic design.”
- “Cut-scenes and graphics are a touch above average.”
- “With uninspiring artwork, a hodgepodge of ghost stories cobbled together that don't really mesh well to make a cohesive storytelling experience.”
- “Overly simple art style and the story is... bad.”
- “While the artwork is hand drawn, it is not animated as one might normally expect, but rather you might see a dog running as being indicated as five individual drawings of the dog shown one after the other superimposed on top of the scene.”

The game's music is generally well-crafted and varied to match different locations, offering a pleasant and appropriate soundtrack. However, some users find certain tracks, especially the ending music, amateurish, and overall sound quality is considered average.
- “The game has a pleasant soundtrack that varies with the locations you find yourself in.”
- “From gentle orchestral pieces in Japan, to drums in South America and rock in hell, it's cleverly done and care has been taken to determine the appropriacy of the soundtrack.”
- “Good soundtracks.”
- “Additionally, the music (especially the ending) sounds very amateurish.”
- “Sounds and music are average.”
- “What I did not like is that it does not remember settings between launches and starts in fullscreen with loud music.”

The gameplay is simple and straightforward, resembling a hidden object game but with basic, repetitive puzzles that lack challenge. While visually appealing, the ease and lack of depth diminish the overall engagement and longevity of the experience.
- “As a point and click adventure game, Age of Enigma boasts fairly simple mechanics.”
- “It's very beautiful, but if I have to look at a guide within the first 20 minutes of gameplay, the same isn't worth it.”
- “Hence I’m going to give it a not recommended on the basis that it was too easy, which detracted from the longevity, and the beautiful graphics and campy narrative were not quite redeeming enough to compensate for the lacklustre gameplay.”
- “It’s very beautiful, but if I have to look at a guide within the first 20 minutes of gameplay, the same isn't worth it.”
- “The game mechanics are similar to a hidden object game, only there are no hidden object scenes: you just gather obviously placed items from the rooms then use them to access very simple, childish puzzles, which quickly start repeating themselves, especially in the fifth chapter.”
