  • graphics
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are generally praised for their beauty and engaging level design, creating an aesthetic that enhances immersion. While the visuals are considered fine and innovative compared to other puzzle games, some users express a desire for improved graphics settings to further enhance the experience. Overall, the combination of artwork and fluid movement contributes positively to the game's visual appeal.

    • “The graphics are beautiful; the sound is just fine, and movement is simple and fluid. 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.”
    • “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
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally considered acceptable but lacks innovation, with many reviewers noting that it feels repetitive and similar to previous titles in the series. While the cute wizard ambiance adds charm, the mechanics are seen as underwhelming, and players express a desire for more depth, such as incorporating metroidvania elements. Overall, the experience is enjoyable but brief, averaging around 82 minutes.

    • “It was still enjoyable, but the gameplay was under 2 hours for me.”
    • “82 min gameplay.”
    • “This is acceptable and has a cute wizardy 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.”
    • “It uses the same system as the other games, with some minor improvements, but the gameplay is the same as always.”
  • story
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is criticized for being unoriginal and reminiscent of Harry Potter, lacking depth and creativity. While the environment is well-designed and may appeal to fans of the wizarding theme, the overall narrative is described as thin and merely functional, serving primarily to support the gameplay rather than engage players.

    • “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 is basically Harry Potter, not very original.”
    • “The game itself looked cheap, the music was dull and repetitious, and there was just no story.”
    • “All achievements are story-based, so you will be at 100% if you escape the wizardry school.”
  • atmosphere
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is generally praised for its quality and immersive setting, contributing positively to the overall experience. However, some players feel that the enjoyment of the atmosphere is diminished by illogical and frustrating puzzles. Overall, while the atmosphere is a highlight, it is not enough to compensate for the shortcomings in puzzle design.

    • “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.”
    • “Cool atmosphere, simple yet enjoyable puzzles.”
    • “Smart riddles and nice atmosphere.”
  • music
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some users criticizing it as dull and repetitious, 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.”
  • humor
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is largely derived from its playful and obvious references to Harry Potter, creating a comedic atmosphere that enhances the experience. Players find the puzzles easy to solve, and the lighthearted take on a magical school scenario adds to the overall hilarity.

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

    Overall, the game exhibits strong stability with no bugs affecting gameplay or puzzle logic. However, there are some issues with widescreen support, particularly with menu display.

    • “The games are bug-free, and the puzzles are always logical and make sense.”
    • “Widescreen support is a bit buggy with menus not shown correctly.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from 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.”
  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is considered to have limited replayability due to its relatively easy puzzles, but it offers a solid experience for its low price of $10 or less, providing about 2-3 hours of engaging gameplay.

    • “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).”
