For me, this is an almost perfect game. It comes from the same company that creates the Agatha Christie games and those are some of my favorites. The only minor drawback of those games for me is that they're all set in the 30's or 40's, whereas Dr. Lynch is set in current day and I really like that. This particular game is set in England, I love how it combines the beautiful countryside and old English cottages, manors and villages with modern-day.
The graphics are beautiful; the puzzles are fun but can be skipped if desired and you don't have to wait to skip; the story is interesting and has a lot of humor plus some sly "insider" jokes; the gameplay is very challenging: players are allotted 25 minutes (I don't like the chime ringing down the last minute or so, though), ample time but my "problem" is that the scenes are so beautiful and detailed that I lose a lot of time from just lingering over the scenes enjoying the artwork. So I'd prefer no time limit, or a bit longer of a limit. There are 14 chapters, so for someone like me who likes to relax, take my time and have a game last for 4 or 5 hours this one is ideal. I was never bored. In fact, I played the entire game in one sitting, something I rarely do because I like to make games last as long as possible over several days. This one is just so much fun though that I didn't want to stop.
Another feature I like is the bonus items you can find to earn more hints, these are optional but so much fun I play them as well. This game has a good replay value, too.
I wish all games were this well made and as much fun to play. I don't know when I've so thoroughly enjoyed any game as much as this one, I can't praise it enough. Absolutely worth every penny. Kudos and thanks to the gamemakers, please keep turning out many more quality games like this one.
