Review: I get the feeling I am missing something with Awaken (going on how many positive reviews it has). While there are apparently 1000+ levels to solve and all of it in a dream-like world I still fail to see how this game could be worth anywhere near the £22.99 asking price! Maybe there was once a thriving community of puzzle builders each challenging each other to finish their puzzles, but those days are long gone and this game hasn’t been updated in years. Yes, it is a fun game to play and you can lose yourself in it, but I will suggest you wait for a REALLY good sale before making a purchase. But I wouldn’t may much more than a few quid for this.
