Five BN games

I have played HOGs, off and on, for many years now. Usually stopping because no new titles were out there or the ones that were, were too juvenile or just not interesting. Recently I came across Five BN games and decided to give them a try. I started with Lost Lands and completed that series. Next I played through New York Mysteries and now I am playing Darkness and Flames. I will say that Five BN games are the most intriguing, most interesting and most attention holding games ever. They are artistic, creative and have great story lines. I am 71 yo and play your games every day because they are challenging and make me think and remember the story line. Also I love the music and ambient audio and often pause in a world just to listen because it sounds so nice. It would be great if you produced a “Five BN Sound Track”. I hope you all hurry and produce more titles as I will soon have played through all the existing titles. Great work Five BN and thank you for your talents. Now, back to my game.

I finished all parts of D&F

I'm on the second installment of Lost Lands now. These games have helped me get through a lot of boredom the last few days.

They are fun, if a bit frustrating at times because not all of the solutions are necessarily logical conclusions. After a while, you get used to the game logic and it gets easier to know what the game probably wants you to do with the items. But the mini-games can be frustrating regardless, especially when your only option after an error is to restart the whole puzzle.

My only real critique is that the "back" button should be a little bit farther out from center, as it covers parts of the mini-games/other stuff that makes it really easy to lose your progress (when playing on a phone), because sometimes the pieces are right behind it/next to it. I know these games probably won't get a big update like that, just keep that in mind if you're gonna play.

That said, I gave this game five stars for a reason. It's fun, there is a truly exceptional amount of content for a free game, and the art and story are interesting. D&F packs a lot of world-building into a small game without making you read for hours which was refreshing. The amount of puzzles/mini-games is wild compared to other free puzzle/escape-the-room type games. For a point & click, the Darkness & Flames games are some of the best I've played.

Thank you for making it!

Surprisingly addicting

I’ve been playing the D&F series for hours every day ever since I found it. It’s a really exceptional amount of free content with 0 unsolicited ads, which is a huge plus for me.

The story isn’t great and neither is the voice acting, but that’s not really important for this kind of game. The environments are interesting and varied, there’s also bonus levels that elaborate on the main story when you finish.

The only critiques I have are that sometimes the objects you need to find, are blended to well into the environment and can make it challenging to tell what’s background and what’s part of the game. Additionally, the puzzles do get repetitive if you play multiple installments. Not all of the puzzle solutions seem entirely logical, but play enough, and you start to understand the games logic.

This is the only free to download app I’ve played in years that has zero unwanted ads. You have the option to earn a free Kent coin by watching an ad, but it’s optional, and not obnoxious, and the ads are only for other games made by the same developer, several of which I intend to try
