Review of Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller - Episode 1: The Hangman by Niclas

The first 2 hours of gameplay was just awesome. So much energy and awesomeness. If the game would have stayed like that the whole time, I would have easily given a higher score. Excellent graphics, music, and voice acting. The only downside is that the middle of the game gets quiets slow and uninteresting, however the story picks up in the end again and will leave you with a cliffhanger so you will hunger for more. Overall the puzzles are quiet fun, and some of them are quiet challenging, but never feel unfair. However there are some of the puzzles that feel a little bit out of place and stupid, however not hard to figure out, just does not make sense. (Giving food to the bum and breaking into your boss office, if you have played the game you know what I mean) Overall, great start to a series with a lot of potential.  I am looking forward to episode 2.
