More of a 3.5/5.
Good:
1) animations - Excellent animations and scenes are interesting.
2)content - there are a lot of scenes to watch and a lot of game to play
3) at least it has game play- unlike most games that have you run from scene to scene, every update of ToN had some puzzle or game play mechanic which was fun. Game was polished as well
bad:
1) the story- starts out well, but by the half way point i was just holding the mouse key and skipping it. Just wasn't engaging, dialogues were clunky and dull and the plot was unfocused. A big step back from their previous game.
2) the girls (characters)- again most start out well but they all become bad over time. Again no focus and no development. They all become same-y and boring. Also way too much focus on the more annoying characters. Generally not well written. Again a step back from the last game
3) bad puzzles- the puzzles don't really work to well. A lot of the treasure chests require walkthroughs.
4) length- the game is too long, It has the character backtrack a lot. Also, it really overstays its welcome and drags what could've been a concise story for too long. I ended up finding the scenes boring by version 0.78.
