### 1/5 — Fehler

*2024-05-19*

Leider hat es bei mir nur gesponnen. Also mal war ein Kopf weg, mal konnte ich Minispiele nicht spielen oder interaktive Objekte benutzen, weil sie unsichtbar waren, eine Wimmelbildszene hat nur die Objekte die man finden sollte angezeigt, was gut für mich war, aber den Spielspaß zerstört. Echt Schade, umsonst so viel ausgegeben

### 5/5 — Ótimo jogo,

*2020-02-15*

Excelente mini-games.

### 1/5 — No continuity

*2020-01-06*

I had a really hard time liking this game, it just went from location to location with no rhyme or reason. There was no continuity of anything, just go here for this thing and then go someplace completely different for another thing. I had to use the hint all the time just to find out where to go. I appreciate games that at least you are able to follow.  Not worth what I paid.

### 4/5 — 🦁  ⌛️  EIPIX IS EXTRAORDINARY  ⏳  🦁

*2017-09-25, version 1.0.0*

...with beautiful scenes, intriguing tale, decent length, zero glitches... what's not to love?  21 HOPs (the majority are fragmented), super fun mini-games, Collectibles and EXTRAS plays and re-plays... you won't be disappointed.

### 5/5 — Great series

*2017-02-19, version 1.0.0*

Love the series.

### 1/5 — Nice game but...

*2017-01-30, version 1.0.0*

I bought this game and when I wanted to play it again some time later, it shows that I never bought the game. So if you only want to play this game ONCE it's a decent game. Oh btw BF is no help.

### 3/5 — Difficult to find Parables!

*2017-01-03, version 1.0.0*

I like this game series and this installment is great but I have one issue. I can't find any Parable pieces that make up the small side stories! Where are they? Anyone else having this issue? Please help!

### 4/5 — Jeux amusant

*2016-09-16, version 1.0.0*

Les puzzles ne sont pas tous difficiles ou intéressants et parfois il y a plusieurs allées-retour qui peuvent s'avérer ennuyant. Mais le jeu vaut la peine d'être joué. Les images sont très belles et le jeu est intéressant et amusant. Je le recommande, c'est un jeu divertissant.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2016-09-11, version 1.0.0*

I have enjoyed all of the Dark Parables games. I've played them all many times. I can't wait for the next game to come out!!

### 3/5 — Queen of sands

*2016-08-29, version 1.0.0*

Was enjoying this game for second time, but says no purchase and wants me to buy it again
