Golden Trails 3: The Guardian's Creed
Love this game! I love the challenge in collecting the achievements. I love the humour in shooting the bandits for extra hints. The artwork is beautifully done and I love the way the little figures on the map are getting on with their lives. The puzzles are interesting but not difficult. It is just such a fun game.

Great sequel
It is about time they put out another one of these. This is a great next installment of Golden Trails. I have always liked these. This was the most challenging of all three of them. I have always liked the story lines in these and this one did not disappoint. Great colorful scenes and lots of hidden objects.

Review based upon Trial
Pulling my hair out here. Let me say first that I absoluely loved Golden Trails (1). The second one was okay, but I didn't enjoy it as much as the first one. I was very excited and encouraged when I began to play this third one; however, I am completely stuck and can only think it's a glitch that I am unable to use my inventory in three different locations in order to proceed in the game. If there are glitches that haven't been worked out, then I will wait to purchase. Thoroughly enjoyed what I have played so far, though. If it's just my own problem, then maybe some forums will be able to help.

Really enjoy this series!
I've liked all the Golden Trails games and have purchased them all including this third one now. It was definitely worth the wait for it to finally be released and I enjoyed it very much. It has all the great and fun things that I liked so much in the first two games. Lots of things to do and collect with achievements/trophies in abundance! Graphics are very well done; crisp and clear. Voice overs are wonderful. Game mechanics are smooth and flow nicely throughout the entire game. Storyline was probably my favorite of the 3 so far. Overall a nicely done game and lots of fun that is third in the series and hopefully it will have a fourth on its tail soon. Happy Gaming!

Pretty Good Third in Series
I really love this series since it is a cross-between HoG and arcade-style game where you often have to shoot bandits and rack up a high score. I like their emphasis on HoGs rather than adventure. This episode is not unlike the first two, but I found it less compelling than the others.
The story for one was not as good. To be a bit more specific, it started out great. It was a templar-style story with much intrigue and mystery. But I found the ending abrupt, in fact unlike in the other games, it only comes to its head in the bonus chapter. I don't really understand why it is a bonus chapter and does that mean that if you don't get into it (if that is possible), you won't see the end of the story?
The second reason why I found this one not as good is that the puzzles were not as fun as they usually are. I don't really like button-pressing puzzles and there were two, but also lots of swap puzzle pieces around which I also do not like. They were in the previous two games too, but they seemed to be less annoying than in this one for some reason.
And a pet peeve of mine, there were a lot of anachronisms in this game: items that should not have been in and were, costumes that were improbable for the time period of the game, etc.
This is still a highly playable game and I still overall enjoyed it even if less so than the first two.

REVIEW OF COMPLETED GAME
Hmm, another Invisible Object Game. Much too dark. Only about 75% of the items are visible. Could have been a really great game, but frustration level too high. Needed to use too many hints - not fun.
Puzzles were good though, as was the music and the story, although a tad too much dialogue to plough through, but then that's how you keep track of the story, so, ok.
Please devs, none of us have x-ray vision. Even when the hint pointed at the items, they were not to be seen and I have good vision. Pulling my screen more upright did not help. Lighten up a bit man.
Otherwise, same format as the other too, just a little too drab and too much hard work.

LOVE THIS GAME
When I first start playing this game I was unsure if it was for me or not, a little different of a game. After playing for a few minutes I had to buy. I just love the extra items that need to be found, the having to kill the bad guy to get extra hints, (a couple times he scare me I wasn't expecting it) the trophys. For me these things are games within the game and I love them.
