I’ve played them all and some of them multiple times. It amazes me how addicting Five-BN games are to play. I’ve searched and trialed other games like DO, Big Fish, Friendly Fox and Alawar. Alawar owns Five-BN but even playing just Alawar games isn’t the same. If it says Five-BN then buckle up and stock up on the drinks and snacks because it’s hard to stop playing once you start. I wish they had more games but they are a small company. Some of the greatest designers in the business. I periodically read forums digging for unknown games by Five-BN but there are no more until the next new one. If Five-BN reads these reviews then just know you are amazing and have brought so much joy to this old man. With minimal enjoyable things in today’s world, you guys are a shining star. You guys/gals are the pillar of my gaming world. Thank you!

It was pretty good, I only had a few problems with it, and these could just be me but over all I liked it: it feels like there’s less story/exposition in this game, same with the next one. It could be bc there are less lost manuscripts to find this time, 13 compared to the 20 of the last game. It also felt as though we really didn’t get an explanation for much, in those manuscripts, before, past games had a manuscript for most -if not all characters, and had a decently detailed explanation of what they’re done/who they where, same with the enemies. Now it could just be bc there isn’t a whole bunch of villains this game, and there weren’t really any new places in the Lost Lands to explore, but I was disappointed in the fact that it felt like there wasn’t much to do this game. This could be bc there really wasn’t anything new, or it could just be bc there wasn’t a whole lot of explanation going on, or that there was just 1 villain this time, that really didn’t do much. I also didn’t like the ending very much, it felt kind of cheap, with what happened, and just leaving it, no resolution, especially since the next game (spoiler) doesn’t mention it, at all.

Truly, this is an excellent game! I have been making my way through all of the Five BN series of games I like them so much! The New York Mysteries series is well worth the downloads as well! These games have just the right amount of challenge for me to figure out. I don’t want to spend hours on the most challenging puzzles on the planet, but I do enjoy figuring out puzzles, and Five BN games hit that mark every time! However, there is a glitch in this particular game which is halting my progress. Once in the dark woods, just before meeting the fairies, there is a mini puzzle which requires you to hang the correct combination of pipes on a wind chime. For whatever reason, I am not able to hang the 6th pipe, whether correct or not, the game doesn’t allow me to hang any chime in its spot. The game really cannot continue without completing this task, so I’m really hoping that this comment is seen and the bug will be fixed so that I can continue on with this game. Keep up the great work, guys! I really do love these games!

First off Five-Bn has set a whole new standard in escape games. I only compare their games to themselves. So Lost Lands 5 easily blows other developers escape games away. But compared to the 1st 4 in this series it’s the least of the bunch for me. Not as much heavy lifting this time through. Pretty straight forward. Maybe 1/2 page of notes as opposed to at least a page or more from other games. Still great to play though. Story lines and graphics are next level. As far as puzzle glitches, as some were worried about, I did not experience any functional glitches anywhere. I did, however, have to carry the info card on the dragons venom bottle with me the whole game. No biggie. On a side note. For an environment of few people they sure lock everything up and tend to lose keys a lot. 😬 keeps us busy though. Finally, I love the fact we’re not inundated with ads. You only watch as many as you need for hints. Or none at all if you wanna buy coins packs. Fantastic model. Great work Five-Bn.
