There was a time where this game was being given away, I was fortunate enough to snag myself a copy. I finally got down to playing it and with very low expectations for anything free, it was... okay. The time you spend playing it more than makes up for when you buy it at its current price. Unfortunately, there were a few frustrations when I played it which made me put it off for a long, long time when I started it.

Pros:
> Pretty decent puzzles (I preferred doing them over the HOGs)
> Decent soundtrack (although some of them looped)
> The island was more fun than the house

Cons:
> Repetitive HOGs (I can only take so many times of looking for feathers and knives)
> The lack of guidance/direction where to go next and TONS of backtracking, really really painful backtracking to look for objects in HOGs in places you wouldn't expect them to even be there
> Limited fast travel, there were only a few spots you could use the map to move faster but it doesn't cover every location and it kind of just defeats the purpose of fast traveling if you could only skip 1-2 locations at a time

Overall, a good enough time waster if you'd rather play HOGs without much narrative. For its price and its cards, I'd say it's an okay deal.
