  • The game features clever and engaging puzzles that challenge players without being overly frustrating, providing a satisfying sense of accomplishment.
  • The atmosphere is immersive and well-designed, with a magical theme that enhances the overall experience, making it enjoyable for fans of wizardry and escape rooms.
  • The game respects player intelligence by offering hints and a logical flow to puzzles, allowing for a rewarding experience that encourages exploration and critical thinking.
  • Many puzzles lack clear instructions or logical connections, leading to confusion and frustration, with some players needing to rely on walkthroughs to progress.
  • The game is relatively short, with a playtime of around 2-4 hours, which some players feel does not justify the price, especially given the lack of replay value.
  • Movement and interaction can feel sluggish and cumbersome, detracting from the overall experience and making it difficult to navigate between puzzles.
  • graphics
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics are generally described as aesthetically pleasing, with a unique visual style that enhances immersion, despite some users finding them somewhat cheesy. The level design and artwork are praised, contributing to an engaging experience, though there are calls for improved graphics settings. Overall, the visuals stand out positively compared to other puzzle games, making the gameplay more enjoyable.

    • “They did a good job with the level design and artwork.”
    • “The graphics are beautiful; sound is just fine, and movement is simple and fluid, and you can 'run' with the shift key (and no, you won't have to run from anything. The developers just made it faster to move from one place to another...excellent).”
    • “I will say they did some cool things with visuals in this game which made it feel different from previous games.”
    • “Graphics kind of cheesy.”
    • “And compared to other puzzle games, this game actually has an aesthetic the player can get engrossed by, so being driven to needing to break the immersion is particularly unfortunate.”
    • “I think I'd probably like it if it had some better graphics settings.”
  • gameplay
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay features three main mechanics: symbol-to-number ciphers, item counting, and numerical patterns, with a focus on memory-based puzzles. While the game offers a charming wizard-themed ambiance, it lacks innovation compared to previous titles in the series, leading to a relatively short experience of around 82 minutes. Overall, while enjoyable, the gameplay feels repetitive and could benefit from more diverse mechanics.

    • “The game has three mechanics: symbol to number ciphers, counting the number of items in the room, and completing a numerical pattern.”
    • “It uses the same system as the other games, with some minor improvements, but the gameplay is the same as always.”
    • “The puzzles have a lot of 'remember this for later' mechanics.”
    • “This is acceptable and has a cute wizardly ambiance, but you should really go play Escape Simulator because the mechanics aren't awesome.”
    • “I mean, it's the fifth title in an anthology series; the magic theme with spells could have called for some additional gameplay, such as more backtracking akin to Metroidvania with the usage of new spells on previous puzzles.”
  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is criticized for being unoriginal and lacking intrigue, often compared to a simplistic version of Harry Potter. While the narrative serves primarily to set the theme for the puzzles, it is described as paper-thin and uninspired, with many reviewers noting the overall lack of depth and engagement in the plot. However, some appreciate the nostalgic elements reminiscent of the Harry Potter universe, which may appeal to fans of that genre.

    • “All achievements are story-based, so you will be at 100% if you escape the wizardry school.”
    • “I know what to expect: well-designed puzzles and a paper-thin story that does just enough to set up the theme.”
    • “Good environment; the story is basic but has some Harry Potter vibes, so it's a plus if you like that.”
    • “The plot has zero intrigue; this isn't quite The Witness 2.”
    • “The plot is basically Harry Potter, which is not very original.”
    • “The game itself looked cheap, the music was dull and repetitious, and there was just no story.”
  • atmosphere
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is widely praised, with many users highlighting its quality and immersive setting. While some players find the puzzles frustrating and illogical, the overall experience remains enjoyable, contributing positively to the game's appeal.

    • “Smart riddles and nice atmosphere.”
    • “The atmosphere deserves its own diploma.”
    • “I love the entire setting, atmosphere, and overall experience, and I hope they'll keep making these games with the same level of quality in the future, as I'll definitely buy them on day one.”
  • humor
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is characterized by its lighthearted and comedic take on a magic school, drawing clear and amusing parallels to the Harry Potter series. Players find the puzzles enjoyable and often laugh at the overt references, contributing to an overall entertaining experience.

    • “The scenario is a funny take on a certain magic school, so the puzzles often fit into this.”
    • “Puzzles were fine, and the references to Harry Potter were so obvious that sometimes it got hilarious, lol.”
    • “Easy to solve the puzzles, hilariously similar to Harry Potter.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, while the games themselves are bug-free and feature logical puzzles, users have reported issues with widescreen support, particularly with menu display errors.

    • “The games are bug-free, and the puzzles are always logical and make sense.”
    • “I appreciate how stable the game runs; I haven't encountered any crashes or glitches.”
    • “The gameplay experience is smooth and consistent, which makes it easy to immerse myself in the game.”
    • “Widescreen support is a bit buggy, with menus not displayed correctly.”
    • “The game crashes frequently, making it nearly unplayable.”
    • “I experienced several glitches that disrupted my gameplay experience.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some users criticizing it as dull and repetitive, likening it to a cheap imitation of Harry Potter's score. However, others appreciated the ambient quality, noting that it complements the game's scenery well.

    • “Nice ambient with great scenery and music.”
    • “The game itself looked cheap, the music was dull and repetitious, and there was just no story.”
    • “This is a blatant rip-off of Harry Potter, even down to the music.”
  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers a short playtime of about 2-3 hours and lacks significant replay value or additional goals, which may make its price feel steep for some players. However, at a lower price point, it provides a quality experience for a single playthrough.

    • “The game might be a little expensive considering it takes around 2 hours to complete and it has no replay value or special goals/achievements, but it's a good game, so you'll have to decide if it's worth it.”
    • “They skew a little easy and lack replayability... but for $10 or less, you're getting a quality night of puzzle solving (about 2-3 hours to complete the game).”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players appreciate that the game avoids tedious grinding, offering a streamlined experience that is accessible to gamers of all skill levels. The balance of visuals and gameplay length contributes to a satisfying experience without the need for excessive effort or timing challenges.

  • optimization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game faces performance issues, particularly on lower-end PCs, leading to noticeable jankiness during gameplay.

    • “The game does have some performance issues, so if you're on a lower-end PC, expect some jankiness.”
