Harder than Train Valley, but it just makes it that much more replayable. Trying to get 5 stars on each level can take many tries, but the challenge is fun.

Odin approves.

Minimalist and satisfying.

I don't usually care for the plot of a HO game; they are usually cheesy or poorly written.
But I now I realize that a cheesy story is better than none at all, which feels like is the case with this game. A game show is not a story after all, and it makes for a boring HO game.
But that's not the worse part. The worst part was the low resolution pictures, which were poorly lit or shaded. Need I say more?
All in all, playing this feels like a chore.

Having first played this after Hitman GO (which I loved), I wasn't too keen on all the action and cut scenes at first. "What the... I just want a puzzle!". But the more I played it really grew on me. I did miss the objectives Hitman always had; trying to complete a level in as few moves as possible was always a great challenge. But instead of that, Lara Croft has hidden gems and artifacts, and instead of a great variety of enemies, it has obstacles. It also has more of a 'story', if you can call it that. In the end, I enjoyed it just as much.
My only complaint is that it is shorter and somewhat easier than Hitman. Still, a few levels were a good challenge and it was all a great deal of fun. I hope they make more of these types of games.

It's a puzzle game. It's fun. It can be very challenging, especially if you're trying to obtain all objectives. By the way, for most levels, you'll have to play them more than once to get all three. I didn't know that at first and was momentarily confused when two objectives for a level were "kill all enemies" and "kill no one". Bummer! I thought if I replayed the level it would be a 'start from scratch' type thing, but nah. Go ahead and play and replay those levels, and enjoy! Be ye warned, it can be quite addicting.

By the way, I've noticed a lot of people compare it with Lara Croft GO, preferring the latter. Yes, Lara Croft is a bit more action-y. Obstacles and path-making are a big part of the puzzle, whereas Hitman's focus is on dodging the many different types of enemies. They are both fun and challenging in their own way. (Well, to be honest I thought LC GO was a bit easier.) And personally, I really like the gameboard feel of Hitman GO.

So if you've played Lara Croft GO, keep all that in mind. And if you haven't, go ahead and play this one first. If you like puzzle games, you'll love it.

At first I was unsure about getting the game because I feared it would be mostly action-based, i.e. clicking mouse buttons to have him dodge guards, jump up or down at the right time, etc. While there is some of that, the levels are mostly puzzle-based, which is great. It's actually a pretty good mix of the two.
More pros: It's got humor, the story is fun and engaging, and the noir ambience and soundrack spot on. I only wish it were longer!

If you liked Minesweeper, you'll like this game. A well-made, enjoyable re-make with a few extra features that make it more addicting (ie. campaign mode). And the music reminds me of Streets of Rage, which makes me happy.

I started playing and I laughed to myself and how surprisingly enjoyable it was to burn things. I kept burning things for four hours. It was fun, especially trying to figure out the combos.
I adore the artwork and design. Not much in terms of replayability (in my opinion, if you get all the combos), but I guess there is if you're feeling creative and wanna try new things in the fireplace just for fun. Super cool little game.

A bit more challenging than the first one (Kingdom Classic), but just as fun.
