The AGS Panel is a team of AGS forum veterans who play all of the games here, and give them ratings from one to five cups. The rating system is as follows:

1 Cup	Not serious entertainment
2 Cups	A reasonable game, worth a try
3 Cups	A good game, worth playing
4 Cups	A great game, well worth your time
5 Cups	An outstanding, must-play game!

Feel free to disagree with the panel's rating, and please don't be offended if you think your game has been underrated!

(Why has my game been rated 1 cup?)

Close window

If your game has been rated 1 cup, please don't be offended! It's common for your first game release to get a 1-cup rating, due to the game having a lack of polish and flair -- which is understandable, because you're just getting started!

Please understand that the main purpose of the ratings is to help potential game players find high quality, bug-free games to play. You've probably learnt a lot about AGS as a result of making your first game -- so why not use that knowledge to start afresh, and do even better with your next game!

AGS Panel Review

"Very well written investigative game that uses Scottish history as a backdrop. Impressive in graphical style and writing/puzzles."

9 people commented on this game (newest first):

Classic point and click investigation adventure game that doesn't take itself seriously. It has beautiful classic 320x200 graphics, Indiana Jones style.

The adventure is settled in Scotland, with varied and atmospheric locations, and a moody weather that gives it an opresive atmosphere.

The plot is intriguing and the puzzles are logical and just the right amount of challenge. Also an elegant closure in my opinion.

The only things I could comment against is that the music is minimum and that I didn't love ripping off the lady on the shop!

Overall it is a fantastic game, really good.

Excellent investigative game. The puzzles were embedded in the story, revealing background information piece by piece. Coming back to a location with new information was very rewarding.
The rainy atmosphere was so strong, I always felt a strong dislike to put on that damp jacket and go outside.

Very good investigative game, both good looking, well written and rewarding, fun puzzles. Highly recommended!

There's rain and supernature and lots of free beer and words like ploc. I even did all the tasks on my own, aside from one little hint. Fun fun mystery;]

Logical puzzles, funny banter and light history (Ploc = Culloden?) made me spend a good time.

Really enjoyed this game, and its references to older GOC games. Love that its always raining, ah Scotland. Fun Characters, the puzzles range fromfun, logical to some frustration. But eventually I got through. Highly Recommended

A really good game set in Scotland. The author managed to mix funny lines, historical background, puzzles in a very cosy and enjoyable manner. Graphics are quite decent too, simple yet pretty.
Play this!
