### 5/5 — Mystery of the Dark King

*2024-09-27, version 1.0.0*

Been awhile since I’ve played any games. I certainly picked a good one to start back with. Good graphics and a decent story line. If I had to pick one fault it would be that the instructions for various and varied games were rather lacking in what to do. Other than that definitely a super game but still think the price is a bit to high.

### 5/5 — Surprised

*2024-06-27*

I tried this game a while ago and quit because I did not like the first scene.  Then I went back and am playing it now.  It is a really fun game.  The puzzles make sense and are not the types that are too hard and that I have to skip.  I’m only half way through but this game will become one of my favorites, if at the end, it allows one to go back to find the stuff we missed.

### 1/5 — One Dumb storyline

*2024-05-11, version 1.0.0*

I’m sorry I bought this game as the writers must’ve been on vacation that day because this was one dumb storyline.

### 4/5 — This one is ok

*2023-12-29, version 1.0.0*

It’s not as good as some, I’ve rated it 4/5 to reflect my thoughts.

### 4/5 — Black Dagger is worth a shot

*2023-08-11*

I’m not very good at these but am getting better.  Some I can’t stick with because they aren’t user friendly.  This is not one of those.  It’s challenging, interesting and great graphics.  The mini games are explained briefly but with the information you need and a aren’t too small to read or navigate.  The only reason for a four is how low the inventory is placed, which causes the game to pause sometimes instead of placing item.  I very much enjoyed the game and hope there are more in the series!

### 4/5 — Black dagger

*2023-07-20, version 1.0.0*

Wasn't charged  for initial game / then charged for game bonus???????  Games are slurry money but who, when, where, how, what, concerning how to buy game is concerning!!!!!

### 5/5 — Fun puzzles

*2023-03-05, version 1.0.0*

Fun puzzles not to easy

### 3/5 — Help link

*2023-02-16*

It seems when you hit the hint button, it directs you to the website. Not as helpful as their other games

### 5/5 — Great game

*2022-12-20, version 1.0.0*

I’m enjoying the puzzles and I like the characters.

### 5/5 — Black dagger

*2022-08-06, version 1.0.0*

Just finished main game and have to say it is one of the best I have played.   very interesting and different mini games only increased the enjoyment.  More like this please
