I have been playing the Scott Adams games in order. This is the first one that has been disappointing. The mechanism for travelling between the various sections quickly became very tedious, and there isn't much in the way of puzzles. Hopefully, the standard will pick up again with the next game in the series!
A standard treasure quest can feel a bit disappointing after the innovative design of The Count, but it is an OK little game. Easier than it looks at first sight, it has good intentions, but the idea of manipulation of alien objects and environments is not taken too far.
