I've played every Lost Lands game several times, and this is a good one! Having said that, it's brought down significantly by the new mechanic of Susan deciding not to pick up random objects unless she needs them. I know it's more realistic, but it's far more difficult to remember, and not in a fun way. Especially because it's difficult to tell when an object you encountered previously becomes 'pick-up-able'. I prefer the cluttered menus filled with items strongly to this. Still a good game tho!

I've really enjoyed the Lost Lands series, until this one. This one was so annoying because it wouldn't let you get items when you found them. It forced you to come back and get them later. I understand not being able to collect mushrooms when you haven't yet found out which ones you need, but not letting me get a bucket when there's a well that's missing one and it's obvious what I'll need it for? That's just ridiculous and annoying and it's only one example of many.

I absolutely love the lost lands series and have played them all, but this is by far the best. The puzzles are just hard enough but not impossible to solve. The story line is good and engaging. I like the fact that you can't carry items that are used later on in the game, meaning you have to actually remember where they are, giving your brain a bit more exercise. Now I've learnt lost lands 9 is out, do these devs ever sleep? They are committed to providing excellent games and long may they do so
