This is by far the worst game in the series. Graphically it is such a mess and went the way of 80% of the HOPA genre, with a mish-mash mess of 3D, collage graphics (due to reusing assets), and just a very inorganic look to it. This is in contrast with the previous entries, which had meticulously drawn environments with so much character.

The puzzles and exploration are mostly decent, but the minigames are HORRIBLE. I skipped almost half of them, with their frustrating clunky logic. It's really a shame.

So, here's how I would rate all the games:

1 - THE BEST. 5/5, perfect game

2- decent. 3/5. Didn't actually finish it or write a review, because I had played half of it and then bailed because I wasn't in the mood... then accidentally deleted my save. I will revisit it in the future.

3- 4/5, really really good.

4- 2/5, huge downgrade.

So ya, I would say just skip this one.
