This is like The Chronicles of Moses, which is also a Match 3 game in the same style with the same game play. All the Match 3 objects are different though, so this made it a different experience. The cut scenes are great and retell the bible story in an inspiring manner. One small thing though, the voice overs are all done in a robotic voice and are not real actors but it didn't detract too much from the game.
I like games with atmosphere as well as good game play and lots and lots of HOS, and this has it. Good environmental sound effects, music and nice graphics.
I'm just starting to get into match 3 games. As soon as I saw this, I thought of Rat and Louie -Cook From The Heart, which is another match 3 game, in the same style, graphics and gameplay as this one. I discovered that there are many more games in this series entitled 'The Chronicles of...' in the same style. I loved all of the cinematic clips telling the story of Moses. It is so relaxing and comforting and I enjoyed the voiceover which said, 'The Spirit Of The Lord Is Upon You' every time you release a holy white dove in the game. Even though they are annoying, I love the shocked/surprised look on the spiders face when you make them fall off the board.
I loved this because it ticked every box. Well paced, good atmosphere, graphics, game play and environmental sound effects. It was a little quirky too which I liked and it wasn't too old school or too new, it's sort of in between. There was an era in HOG's where they got everything spot on and then they just sort of ran with it too much and spoilt the simplicity. This was relaxing and fun and intriguing at the same time. I'll play it again (in about six months) and enjoy it all over again.
Not the type of game I normally like but this was addictive. I like the graphics and the game play. Love the multiple boards and the feeling that you are going into different rooms. You collect keys, grappling hooks, wrenches, lanterns, maps and magic spells in each board to open up other boards. The battles are biased, completely unfair and I see that a lot of reviewers don't like them either. I discovered that you don't have to play the battles. You can just come out of that room and finish the level if you've done everything else you need to do. I played it in relaxed mode from about level 35 and it was so much better. I managed to get all upgrades bar one, before it crashed on Level 75. I'd have probably kept going if it hadn't crashed. Thank goodness for small mercies.
It had a lot of potential, with good game play, atmosphere, graphics, storyline and sound effects with a medieval genre, but I could not believe how short it was. I thought it was just beginning and then it was the end. You do not get value for money with this. It was over before it started.
I don't recommend this game.

Journey: The Heart of Gaia
After being kidnapped, Liz must free the Underworld from the tyranny of Scartaris Umbra.
This was in the HOG section of Big Fish but there are no HOS in it. No hidden object scenes. It is more of an adventure game really. It has very puzzley game play and lots of mini games with a very slow charging skip button. It's atmospheric, with good environmental sound effects and along the way, you will meet three very different and interesting characters, with different skills, and they will accompany you on your journey and help you on your quest. I don't normally like painted graphics but they are beautiful in this game. I would say it falls into the steampunk genre.
Not as much fun as other Delicious games I've played. All that rubbing, clicking and holding gets tiresome after a while, as do some of the challenges. Still enjoyed it though.
The graphics, gameplay and environmental sound effects created a great atmosphere. Among the mini games, there are mazes to explore, and althought they don't do skips, they have hints and aren't too bad to complete. I wasn't keen on the HOS, where you find silouhettes of objects, of which there were many. I prefer straight forward word ones and there weren't many of those. It didn't spoil my enjoyment of the game but I thought it was a little short too and that was disappointing.
