The puzzles are great. There's nothing wrong with stringing them together with a worthwhile point-and-click adventure.

Of course you're not going to like a game of brainteasers if you admittedly have absolutely no interest in the brainteasers. This is like trying to go into the Phoenix Wright series with no interest in anything other than the quality of the animated sprites and calling it tedious because you have to actually play the game.

It's not as if the game is trying to fool anyone into making the purchase; the tagline takes up nearly a fourth of the front cover, reading, "Solve brainteasers to crack the case!"
