From the outset, I was intrigued by Buster's Bones and its mystery-solving theme which captured my interest as an avid lover of puzzles. The premise of helping the pup uncover buried treasures in his backyard immediately drew me in.
The unfolding narrative as more bones are unearthed is a highlight, gradually solving a larger riddle. Visually impressive with charming animations that bring the setting and its stars to life. However, replayability suffers since mechanics remain basic, wanting more variety to maintain freshness over time.
While fun at first, the repetitive routine wore thin. I wish additional complexity was introduced to sustain engagement beyond the initial gameplay.
Accidentally digging in the wrong spot once, I dug up an old shoe instead, eliciting Buster's crestfallen response that had me laughing aloud at the blunder. Feeling somewhat chagrined for my mistake, his dejected bark was good for a chuckle.
Take your time, relax and enjoy the journey. Feel free to experiment strategically. Pay heed to helpful hints from your canine companion - he's a useful indicator for success.
I appreciate the bonus mini-games which inject welcomed suspense, granting rewards. Equally convenient is the cross-device compatibility allowing play on the go whenever inspiration strikes.
For unwinding after a long day with a simple yet mysteriously engaging casual puzzle, I suggest Buster's Bones to fellow fans of the genre seeking lighthearted entertainment on desktop or mobile.
