### 5/5 — 3 Guardians

*2025-10-19, version 1.0.2*

Fun. Not too difficult, of course the instructions are well thought out. I purchased over 3 years ago and accidentally deleted it. I finally found it again and reloaded it.

### 5/5 — Big fish

*2025-10-14, version 1.0.2*

I love it

### 4/5 — New HD

*2025-04-10, version 1.0.2*

Beautiful Improvements in the game which I have played years ago.  Missed it.  I had given up on it because it was one step forward, three steps back, but that’s part of the game

### 2/5 — Too many glitches

*2024-07-03, version 1.0.2*

The good: nice length, pretty good story. The bad: so many connect the number puzzles that are too easy. All the numbers are right there. No complex puzzles.
This play through I’ve encountered three game stopping glitches. Fortunately two were near the beginning but the last one was near the end so I couldn’t finish the game.

### 5/5 — Awesome game great value

*2023-07-01, version 1.0.2*

Really enjoyable story with loads of different puzzles and for once you don’t get locked out from previous parts of the map so you can go back and get all collectables. Sets a great standard for others.

### 5/5 — Very good game

### 2/5 — Mystery of the Ancients:  Les 3 Gardiens

*2022-06-02, version 1.0.2*

J’ai acheté le jeu et après avoir fait 7 endroits, j’étais bloquée.  Je les ai contacté et on m’a répondu qu’ils n’avaient pas de compte à mon nom.

J’ai supprimé et téléchargé à nouveau.  J’ai fait 3 endroits et je suis bloquée.  Je click sur « Déverrouiller » puis « Déjà acheté » et on me dit qu’ils n’ont pas de compte à mon nom.

J’aime bien ce jeu mais c du vol.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2022-04-22, version 1.0.2*
