The Good
- Lovely artwork
- excellent pacing
- intriguing FMV backdrop
- nice selection of puzzles
- streamlined interface makes it highly accessible
- quite substantial for a &ldquo
- casual&rdquo
- game.
The Bad
- Poor puzzle integration leaves many feeling contrived
- character commentary limited and sometimes misleading
- backwards movement feels entirely unnatural.
Our Verdict
Good
A solid adventure that is generally enjoyable, though it lacks enough polish or ambition to recommend without caution.
Despite a few arbitrary cracks, Dire Grove is another (frozen) solid entry in the growing casual adventure library, and a worthy addition to the Mystery Case Files series.
