Darkness and Flame: Missing Memories Collector's Edition Reviews

good game but with annoying puzzles

Darkness and Flame 2: Missing Memories is an average Hidden Object Mystery set in a magic-ridden post-apocalyptic Earth. The main story is centered around rescuing the member of Alice's family seen in the opening of the first game, by restoring the memories of Uncle Colin, who had been the last one to see her before her capture by the Dark Knight. The story isn't the best, but I enjoyed the puzzles this time through. There's a nice tour through areas rebuilt by new settlers, although the geography is odd enough I wouldn't be surprised if there had been a teleport storm moving old Earth landmarks around... The Extra mini-games this time through is another variation on the tangled net puzzle, which is one I like to play around with. One of the things I really appreciate is that you're able to replay puzzles from the Extras Menu, and they properly count towards unlocking Steam Achievements so you can aim for increased accuracy without needing to restart the story. I have a full run of Steam Achievements, except for the Hard Mode trophy as I prefer playing the game with quality of life features such as a map that highlights areas with actions that can still be taken.
