The Last Crown: Midnight Horror Reviews

This is a nice "halloween special" set right after the events of the first game, but it's pretty short and there's not really much to it. So if you're a fan of the original game, and you're looking for something fun for halloween I would recommend getting it. But If you didn't played the first game or you're not much into it then you can skip it.

I thought about it and went back n forth on a rating. For a minute I was going to say I wish there were a neutral choice, but not really. This game is just a real clunker. Too bad because the graphics are kind of cool, there are many very cozy rooms and characters; although most of them are NPCs you can't communicate with. There are a couple of cozy things like games and ghost equipment. The problem is you almost NEVER know what to do next! Most games give you at least some idea, but not this one. Most of the "progress" comes by accident. I don't mind exploration, but this is ridiculous. On top of that, when you do finally accomplish something, you only find yourself wandering around in circles not knowing what the hell to do next. The rest is just a mess. And object exploration is nearly non-existent, meaning, how many times are you going to hear him say - that's a bad idea. It's like being scolded for exploring, which is the very thing the game forces you to do! It also really needs a hotspot indicator since objects and locations are very easy to miss. At this point I'm not sure I can even finish it. Games are supposed to be fun and this one could be but just isn't. It had the potential to be cozy too. Halloween, ghosts, EMF equipment, a mystery, lots of characters, dialogl objects etc. Should be an amazing game! But instead it's just a mess. UPDATE: Here's what kills me: Darkling Room's previous game LOST CROWN A Ghost Hunting Adventure was an ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE!! As in one of the very best Top 10 games there is!! Which makes this review even more difficult for me! How could a team who create such an incredible game make this nonsense? I hope the 3rd installment goes back to the original because we know this team is gifted and able of making another gem. Fingers crossed!!!
