Secret Files: Sam Peters

A normal puzzle solving game but with better visuals though I wouldn't classify them as great. The visuals represented during gameplay are indeed better than what I came to expect in a puzzle solving game. However, the character animations leave a lot to be desired. I haven't tried the other titles in this series yet, but the story sort of abruptly came to stop after building up to a good point. One irksome detail I found is the inventory system. The puzzle solving elements are decently fleshed out and you can complete it very quickly. The trouble with character model animations cropped up at the last part - specifically during the close ups with the protag and the professor. In spite of appearing to be decently designed, the animations were not. Adding achievements could be a bonus, Alas they don't exist for this game (as of writing this review). - 7/10

In this rather short spin-off of Secret Files - Puritas Cordis, you play Sam Peters - I thought the game will finally feature an adventurer similar to Indiana Jones, but no, Sam (Samantha?) Peters is the shapely blonde bimbo the second installment of the series suddenly discarded the same way you leave behind a lover you get fed up with. The devs probably felt bad about the unresolved storyline, so they gave her a show of her own. The game is strangely much less aggravating than Puritas Cordis, probably because it's so much shorter (an awful food is also less painful when served on a small dish). You travel around the world a bit to feel the "grand adventure", solve some tedious inventory puzzles, and before you know it, it's over. There is a binary "ethical choice" in the very end which does not really feel meaningful. We will probably never see Sam Peters again - thanks Papa Legba for that!

This is not a full game, more a short spin-off. Boring and hard. 106 minutes with a guide. (Impossible with no guide: maze enigm ????)

Small, easy, classic.

A mini adventure episode of the Secret Files. I like this kind of P&C adventures. Puzzles are built up logically, as in other Secret Files adventures, too. Look&Feel old-fashioned, but this does not reduce the fun with the puzzles. The story reminded me of the movie "The Relic". Needed just a "few" hours to play. I played 1.5* for both ends as I missed to save inbetween. ;) I bought this game bundled with many others for less than 10€, so no problem for me.

Secret Files: Sam Peters (2013) — это короткое самостоятельное дополнение, раскрывающее историю персонажа из второй части. DLC предлагает посетить несколько локаций, решить парочку несложных головоломок и разгадать тайну неизвестных существ (присутствует налёт мистицизма). Не успевает надоесть и забывается после прохождения. Не хорошо и не ужасно. Сносно. 6/10
