This is truly one of the most unique video game series I have ever played, and this one stepped it up in a big way to the previous three. I have done things in this video game I have never done anywhere else, and for that reason alone I really appreciate it.

Each installment in this series had improved over its predecessors, and the 4th game of this series was the biggest jump in quality yet. The puzzles were more intricate, the storyline was more fleshed out, and the visuals were stronger.

I played this with Stephen, much like the previous three games, and he and I's favorite bit of the game was the underwater area with the Kraken. Never in another video game have I needed to make weird noises over a radio to try to convince Stephen what I was listening to.

The only real criticisms I have are the ending was just little anti-climactic and the story lost us a bit. The last puzzle was visually awesome, with a huge storm looking like the end of the world, but the puzzle itself wasn't quite as creative as the others. And we honestly weren't sure if the Jester was the bad guy or the good guy. But still, the very final scene where the walkies get cut out and we had to follow each others voices was really cool. And then they Titanic'd us. I was the one who died, letting Stephen go.

The best game in a great series - can't wait to see what the studio does next!
