Sacra Terra: Kiss of Death [Collector's Edition]

Another superb entry in the series, and highly recommended for fans of casual point-and-click adventures and hidden-object games.

The game is heavy on adventure puzzles—lots of content—and they are pretty much always fair and satisfying. The hidden-object scenes are excellent, and the few puzzle mini-games are soothing little distractions, though they are usually too easy.

The story is, again, nothing to write home about, but it goes through several locales and feels diverse. The cut scenes are fantastic.

The weak point is the bonus story: unfortunately, though it has gorgeous graphics and adds important dimensions to the story, its puzzles are often obtuse. Also, the voice acting in English is truly awful: just pretend it's not there and you will enjoy the game more. :)

It's also worth mentioning that the game engine is a bit wonky. It seems I needed to click a bit above objects in hidden-object scenes for the click to register. Also, some users have reported bugs, though I'm happy to say that everything ran smoothly for me.
