XON Episode Four 4+

Just finished playing XON 4 and have to say it was one of the best games I've ever played. I was skeptical at first considering the reviews that said the puzzles were so complicated that I would have to use walk-throughs to finish. I mean, what's the point in that? I was able to finish the game over a couple of weeks all on my own. I think the only requirement for doing so is patience and fully immersing oneself in the game environment. Everything you need to complete the game is readily available. I tend to approach these "Myst"-like games by imagining that I am truly there and have no outside help. Isn't that the whole point? If you want a game that really tests your ability to think things through, XON 4 is awesome. I like the fact that sometimes I would have to sleep on it and wake up in the morning with some new ideas about how to approach the next chapter. I like the way it became an alternate world that I was temporarily living in for a couple of weeks. I like the way it stretched my brain out and challenged me. I highly recommend this game for those who are ready to take on the challenge of turning a mysterious world into something you know like the back of your hand. BTW, I've never written a review for a game before...I just felt compelled to share my experience and thank the developers for a fascinating experience.

I loved the entire series. The only other game series that comes close are “The Room” and “The Eyes of Ara”. The only problems are that XON has set such a high bar that all other games are boring and lacking and that it is finished.

The length of the game is great, the controls are fantastic as well as the graphics. Figuring out what to do is the perfect combination of hard and doable.

Please, please come out with another episode.

I was so excited to see that there was an episode 3, then 4! Too good to be true and I loved every second but hated knowing it would end. Oh PLEASE create more! I knew I was at the end of the game but couldn't bring myself to place the last crystal so I held off for a day. That's how immersive and wonderful this devs games are!
