TacTac Prologue

I was looking for a puzzle / exploration game and this one seemed to check the marks. However, the control with the mouse is quite clunky. I am clicking multiple times on an object, sometimes it gets selected, sometimes not and sometimes the interaction with that object is initiated. I am seeing the puzzle pieces on the shelf but five minutes of clicking on and around them I still cannot pick them up. And because the game thinks I did not click on the objects but near them, it moves the character there, blocking the view to the pieces. Very annoying and frustrating experience. Add to that the rudimentary state of the pathfinding (character often gets stuck behind objects) and the not so funny dialogs (admittedly, the dialogue is for a kid in his early teen years, but does it need to feel like it has been written by an actual teen?) and you get a rather disappointing game even considering its price tag. Well, it is not all bad. For the 15 minutes I spent trying to like the game I noticed that some thought was put into it after all. There is tool to show you all the objects you can interact with in a room (although this makes the game too easy - you just click on everything clickable). The graphics is also on a good level. But the clunky controls and gameplay made me decide that I do not want to waste my nerves on this game to try and see what the story is. Would not recommend you do either.

I like the explorative map and the overall vibes of this game. The design of the world is also pretty cute. The puzzles were like those little brain teaser word problems your math teacher would give you in school, but some were confusing which would have been nice if there was more than one hint you could unlock for it. The second bar code puzzle, oh boy that sucked big time.
