Lots of nice hidden object scenes, although relaxing, I found them a bit plain and boring. Good game play and dramatic interesting cut scenes, cinematics and story.
This game has an enormous sense of fun, humour and is so relaxing to play. The quests are hilarious and always make me smile. It's like a soap opera combined with larger than life marine characters with rich back stories and even richer everyday lives. There are back to back hidden object scenes with mini games/puzzles, which can be skipped automatically. I also liked the building/renovation area and collecting gems and trophies.
A delightful game with interesting characters, story and humorous script. It's mostly a HOG but there are side quests, which are very entertaining to read. I also enjoyed finding all the food for the sea ponies and feeding them. Although, I did get a bit bored of the sea ponies after a while. It's a really long game and you do get your moneys worth. I would say it was a family game, as I played it with my husband, who was absolutely hooked on it.
A old school adventure game, which was quite clunky and I was not able to move people around smoothly or easily. However, despite this, I liked the graphics, the characters, the voice overs, story and script. You have to have a bit of patience figuring things out, you don't have skips or hints. Not ideal gameplay and not overly user friendly but nothing was impossible and it was a enjoyable and entertaining game.
Nice old school relaxing HOS but a little short and I was never far away from the walkthrough. There is no skip on puzzles, and some of them weren't that easy, so you are flying without a safety net.
It seemed to be primarily a backgrounds artist that created all the scenes. So while those scenes themselves were good, there weren't really any foreground scenes, even in the HOS, which made them appear flat and two dimensional. This lack of layering, created uninspiring scenes. I found myself having to use the walkthrough a few times. It was easy to get lost and disorientated and pathways to other areas weren't clear. Saying that though, I thought the cut scenes, cinematics and storyline was well executed and a lot of thought was put into it. The puzzles and game play were interesting. The characters and dialogue helped to create some atmosphere.
So much to do in this nice long, old school HOG. Everywhere you turn you will find something fun and interesting and you can really immerse yourself in the carnival/circus atmosphere. Lots of HOS, but slow hint recharge and slow skip charge up. I didn't like all the back and forth activity and felt disorientated, most of the time. The gameplay was a bit all over the place. It didn't feel very linear, it could even be a little stressful because it won't hold your hand, which is good for those who don't like everything handed to them on a plate. Very quirky style and with a gentle creepiness, most of the time!
I've always liked the weird and mysterious, with a touch of psychopath thrown in, and this fits the bill perfectly. I wasn't sure about the gameplay at first. You play a straight forward HOS at the beginning of each chapter and then click around for the orange question marks, which tell you what objects you need for a certain task, and then you find those objects and complete those tasks. Every chapter works that way, so once you get into it and know what to expect, you can settle down and enjoy it. Very flat, almost colourless scenes, which are typical of the old school games, but the quirkiness and creativeness of them more than make up for it. I really liked the inventive posters, like the King Kong one, I liked it when the girl said, 'Please don't let it be people!' when she finds some unidentifiable meat. All in all, a good and long game, which leave a lot of questions unanswered, but we can always let our imaginations do the rest..
My fav bit was the Ghost Train scenes and all those jump scares. Lots of atmosphere. Quite old school, good game play, interesting HOS and scenes in general. It was a bit short, which was disappointing, but apart from that, an exciting and fun game to play.
