The Secret Order 8: Return to the Buried Kingdom

It felt like the 7th entry in this series gave it closure, but I guess there are more adventures to be had. #1 to #4 were great games, we pretend #5 didn't happen, and since #6 we've had bland, forgettable stories. #8 continues this downward trend.

Nothing special to see here. Gameplay is OK and relatively easy. Too easy. There are no challenging puzzles to be found, no mini-games. I'll say one good thing: the graphical and musical production is quite polished, though not particularly inspired.

The series should have ended in #7, which I recommended despite being mediocre. But here we are, slipping again.
