Witches' Legacy: The Dark Throne

This sixth entry in the Witches' Legacy series is better than entries two to five, but still doesn't get a thumbs up from me.

The improvement is in gameplay: more intricate and challenging point-and-click puzzles. Unfortunately, it's the same concept as previous games (except the first Witches' Legacy), which means that most of the puzzles are "magical" and make no real-world sense and deduction won't help you. As an example, in one puzzle you light a censer with flower oil, which stimulates a magical pyramid, which releases ... a necklace. Makes sense, right? ;)

Also unfortunately the story is as bad as any of the previous games, possibly worse. Remarkably there are practically no characters in this game, they are just one-dimensional props for the puzzles. Have the writers just given up entirely?
