    Gameplay lurches between the exultation of easy victory and the frustration of arbitrary defeat after hours of effort. Enigma: Rising Tide's slowness of movement and action only throws its pleasures and miseries into sharp relief.

It was overall fun for a bit, but there weren't enough missions to do. I didn't really like the game.

    Best PC game I've owned. The speech recognition makes it truly the best. I'm aware of some folks having issues with running it but Best PC game I've owned. The speech recognition makes it truly the best. I'm aware of some folks having issues with running it but from the forums I've read there is no reason you shouldn't be up and running in no time.
