So far so good!

Thoroughly enjoying the different games, as not as repetitive as some games. Slightly jerky opening scene, but might have been my device. Don’t want it to end...

Ok game

An ok game with far too many HOG’s. Finished the game but by the bonus game was so bored that I couldn’t be bothered with it.

Neat magic tricks, cute bunnies

This is a super fun game! No glitches, super graphics, sooooo cute little bunnies to find!
They are pretty easy to find, not sure why some players can't find them.

Most people already know the magic tricks shown in the game, so the game producers are not dishonest as one review claims.
Lighten up and just enjoy the game!

Doesn’t work

Reload twice, still kicks me out every time I get to installing the fuses. Glad I didn’t get to the point of paying. And to answer the other reviewers question, no, can’t get the souvenirs again.

Dead Reckoning : Sleight

This started out to be an excellent game, but after quitting during the first chapter and trying to start again it kept kicking me out.

Do not buy

This game made me angry! As the child and grandchild of magicians we we taught the magicians’ code of never revealing the secrets of the illusions. The designer of this game is dishonest. Do not support this thief.

I "Reckon" That This One "Sleighs" It!

I always look forward to an ensnaring and suspenseful murder mystery; hence the reason why I love this series. This latest installment distinctively incorporates the use of deceptive illusions to deliver a magical ambiance. The characters, as well as the dialogue, are interesting enough to hold my attention.

Technology plays an important role throughout your adventure. Your tablet functions as an authentic device, with the purpose of providing information — such as witness-suspect analysis — and guidance to benefit your investigation. I love the ability to alter the tablet's appearance with varying designs and colors. As you examine the locations, snippets of evidence related to the characters you encounter are collected and recorded.

The graphics are typically imperfect, with blurry, unpolished visuals.

You can customize your settings. The inventory is labeled and interactive; items require assembly. In custom mode, the teleport map facilitates brisk travel to labeled locations and indicates available actions. Transition between scenes is smooth and quick. Unfortunately, Eipix's last eight games or so have been plagued by a pervasive glitch, referring to the application of inventory items. The touch-sensitivity mechanics are awry, resulting in exertion and frustration while acquiring and placing items within the scenes.

The storyline is intelligently integrated into the HOSs. But don't expect any trend-setting techniques to "wow" you because there are none. However, the HOSs are creatively executed, such as the one in which you find items in accordance with the reporters' questions. Furthermore, they are multi-layered at times — a trademark of this developer — and they include puzzle-like elements. In my opinion, the puzzles steal the show. They are inventive, and they provide a welcome challenge — a trait that is seldom these days. The collectibles, comprising a singular set, are hidden in plain sight.

Overall, I think that this is a successful installment. The last two or three games in this series were bummers, but this one reminds me of the earlier releases. I detracted a full star due to the lousy quality of the graphics, as well as the touch-sensitivity snag, although it's not debilitating. I am entertained as I progress, so I suggest that you give the free trial a spin to decide for yourself.

Souvenirs???

Is anyone out there having trouble NOT getting the souvenirs in the game? This is the second game I’ve PAID for and not able to see/collect the souvenirs!!
Am I doing something wrong, or game malfunction?

Sleight

Keeps slinging me out and going back to beginning

Very Intriguing!

Quite a different murder mystery, with lot's of detail to pay attention to. Character voiceovers are believable and realistic, which really draws you into the story. Hidden object scenes are at times interactive, puzzles, collectible to be found in each scene and a teleporting map. I so far am really enjoying and love ❤️ investigating this mystery killer. Some unique special effects, as we are dealing with magicians 🎩. Definitely, give this game a whirl, very different in genre.
Happy 😊Gaming Everyone! !!
I will update my review later as I get further along - A must buy for me! 💰
