Lost Lands 10

I have loved these games for years now and have played 1-9, while I have always struggled with some puzzles I was able to either watch an add for coins or look up instructions online which were a saving grace. In every game I have faced the issue of the game not allowing me to click on the free coins by watching an ad button, but usually waiting a little and turning it back on fixes it. This is not the case now however as I have tried for several days in a row to use it and it fails every time. When I click the button it doesn’t even register that I clicked it. This, combined with the ridiculously difficult puzzles that have now added variance to make it next to impossible to find the puzzles online and get past them to continue the story. I have had 4 people look at the shield arraigning puzzle, some for 30+ minutes and no one was able to solve it. One person even found a glitch where the bottom row of shields would shift around a space leading us to believe that this puzzle was physically unsolvable. I have loved these games for so long and I truly want to be able to play them even if the quality has gone down from previous games, but I don’t think I will be able to continue as the game has soft locked me. I sincerely hope that the quality of this series improves again or that these issues can be remedied, but if not I don’t believe I will be able to play these games anymore.

The only issue I have is the areas which are not active until you discover or unearth a necessary object to open those areas up to discovery. Some areas are obvious, but there are other spots where it may be a tiny thing in the scene that’s needed, yet you’ve already tapped the heck out of that area. To make it more confusing, some objects you CAN collect early. So, it doesn’t make sense and is not consistent. Perhaps a message when tapping that indicates that you can’t use that object yet. Otherwise, it’s a fun game with easy to medium puzzles.

Enjoyed the game but completed it just to find out I didn’t receive some of the achievements. It won’t give me Puzzle Lover, Story Lover or Messiah of Light. Played a second time, making sure I didn’t use hints and watched all dialogue and cutscenes, just to not receive them then either!!
