Mystic Academy: Escape Room

I have played 4 other games from this developer (Between time, tested on humans, regular factory, palindrome syndrome) and have only semi enjoyed those. When i got Mystic academy i wasn't aware is was the same dev but it quickly became apparent. Mystic academy starts out quite good, most of the puzzles are fun and can be solved without having to go back and forth over and over again or having to connect 3 different things. Sadly, these over complicated puzzles take over the further you get. Often you attempt to solve something without knowing that you need to do something different first. it is very annoying because you never really know which puzzle you are meant to think about next. The hints are often not helpful at all and there is only one, if you don't understand after revealing it you will have to look up a guide if you are still struggling. i also found many puzzles towards the end to not really be logical. i still don't understand why the solution to the coat of arms puzzle was what it was even though i think i understood what you were supposed to do. In the end, i only played for 2 hours and was happy once i had completed the game. Most of my playtime was spent in confusion and frustration, i don't really wish this experience on anyone else.
