Awakening: The Sunhook Spire – Review

Now that Sophia is no longer just a princess, Queen Sophia has to travel to The Sunhook Spire to find the Enchantress on her task to awaken her parents. On her way, she was captured by Captain Ironhook and Gremlin, can she escape this mess and help her parents? The story in this fifth game continues smoothly from the Bonus Chapter of the previous game, it is interesting with few twists and turns.

We surely do not need to mention how awesome the graphics and artwork in this Awakening game is since the quality is consistently high throughout the series. Awakening 5 features both indoor and outdoor scenes, outdoor scenes are spectacular with gorgeous use of colors and shades to create dimensions while indoor scenes are filled with magic and beauty. For the music, it is charming and soothing; perhaps, a little too calm in a few occasions. The voice overs are awesome, easy to follow and very consistent.

Still, the main Adventure gameplay of this Awakening sequel is still on the easy side. However, Boomzap did thrown in a lot of challenging puzzles. We love challenging puzzles as long as they are entertaining. Unfortunately, despite the unique factor, we found some of the puzzles in this game to be frustrating and time-wasting, the puzzle clues are often too obscure to make any sense of of them.
