I loved the demo and bought "Dark Deal" right away. I am 3 chapters into the game and loving every minute of it. Domini always brings us a whopper CE package. There are fun collectibles to look for, 2 in each scene, the morphs are fairytale items. I absolutely love that Domini includes the indicator bar, it takes away the uneasy feeling of leaving a scene unfinished.
I've never been a fan of the neons, of any color, but they are not so over-done in this game. The graphics are excellent, beautifully displaying scenes with lots of interesting things to keep our attention, all saturated in wonderful color. I love that the characters from various fairytales were brought together in this story. It created an interesting, quality storyline that would not be possible without this "twist", in my opinion.
A magic wand is our helpful gimmick in this game. I have no idea why they are necessary, I hate them, I think they disrupt the flow of the game. The use of the gimmick here, actually makes sense and makes it a little easier for me to tolerate. All else is very fine, which is a given with Domini games. The characters, voices, sound f/x, music, mechanics, CE content. They didn't miss a speck of what makes a fantastic game.
The HOs were really great and the games were fun and not overly challenging. I am so immensely happy that "Dark Deal" does not contain an over-abundance of games! The balance of HOs and mini-games is perfect for me. I've passed over so many games where the number of puzzles was just too crazy. Thank you Domini, for keeping the balance more reasonable. The tasks were taken care of without being a big drag, as happens sometimes depending on how much back & forth is involved. Inventory didn't get clogged up with lots of items, all was used soon enough. The game moved at a nice, comfortable pace.
I'm hoping the Bonus Chapter keeps up the fun in this fairytale, staying connected to the main story. But I have a feeling that Domini won't let us down. The choice of game modes, as usual, is really a nice feature because it allows all skill levels to participate in the fun. So far, this has proven to be a purchase I will enjoy without boredom or regret
I recommend this game!

I hope the quality and challenging gameplay resurfaces in future match 3 games. They've been in a slump for a long time. Ezaron Chronicles is a lack-luster game, quite simple, with no excitement to it, little challenge. The boards are boring with their drab looking tiles. I played the demo for 40 minutes but found nothing that might undo the boredom I was feeling. If looking for an EZ-PZ time filler, this game doesn't require much thought. If lack of colorful graphics, strategy, good power-ups and goals are not a requirement, this game should be adequate. These are only my opinions based on what I need for great match 3 entertainment. So I cautiously recommend it, please try the demo.
I recommend this game!

Wilderness Mosaics Not The Best, Still It's Fun

Didn't care much for the first Wilderness Mosaic game, even though the wilderness theme was a nice touch. I didn't care for the washed out appearance of the images and the empty cells were a visual problem for me. This time I see that the picture quality has improved somewhat and the graphics are a bit brighter. I still think the colors could be better, they are not as pretty or varied as in the Rainbow or Fantasy series.
I enjoyed the games, they were a good diversion from the monotony that sometimes spoils my fun. The features were average, as was the challenge. The game ran without any tech issues and the features offered good assistance. There are plenty of levels to look forward to, I love guessing the new images as they materialize, only a few were questionable after completed.
I enjoyed the demo today, so decided to buy because Bonus Punch Monday is available. I'm always on the lookout for new mosaic games, but they don't come along very often. The newer ones are really great fun and a nice change from the penguin adventures. They offer good extra content, brilliant colors, cute stories, plus the LOGIC based games are really improving in my opinion, which gives the challenge an extra punch. Also, I appreciate getting to choose the difficulty mode in mosaic games.
I encourage trying a mosaic game, if you never considered it before. I was reluctant for years but when I finally took a chance, I became hopelessly addicted and love zoning out with my favorite mosaic and cup of evening coffee.
I recommend this game!

What Are The Walkers Up To This Time?

I always enjoy the demos to get a little free time with these clutter games. The Walker family is cute and they are always into something new. Though I'm not a huge fan of clutter games, I do own enough to know this series is one of the best. Number 7 does bring much change from the previous games but it still delivers very good colorful graphics, enough clutter to drive you bonkers, and a little side story for added interest.
Each scene is very full and busy and I love the challenge of trying to match as many items as possible. The conveyor belt is a fun feature and reminds me that my speed skills need to improve a little. The Walker games offer plenty to do and I've never experienced any tech problems in the 4 that I own. Shopping Clutter offers a very busy good time for sure, but my attention span doesn't hold steady throughout an entire game. My mind eventually grows weary after sifting through so many piles of clutter.
I had fun with the demo, but feel no need to buy since the game doesn't really bring anything new to the table, other than a new adventure for the Walkers. Great game for all ages, fun challenge for the different skill levels. I can see kids and their parents enjoying together. It's a good one to have, I think, like solitaire....on hand for when you want a little break from your more involved games.
Can you and your friends save all the worlds in time?

The demo was pretty good, actually, and silly me, I went ahead and bought this disaster. I guess the gathering of the big-names from previous games doesn't always guarantee a great new game. But I think Dupin looks a little better here, than he has in quite a while. As much as I like Dupin, I dislike that wretched little Saint Germain even more! That little creep is so maddening! I was surprised to see the very evil Professor Blackmore, still up to no-good. It's a shame that the characters brought together in this story didn't create something more entertaining.
The graphics were missing a certain quality, eliminating the interest and beauty that makes a game more enjoyable to me. The HOPs were average and again quite outnumbered by mini-games but enjoyed some of them. Nothing really worth mentioning regarding CE extras. Zilch, except for one collectible, and there were no morphs. I hope this lack of extras will not become the norm for CEs. It is really awful that we are being so slighted. With the extra $$ we hand over for these games, we should be getting much more.
I ran into a few glitches which were quite annoying and then I became more disappointed. I really expected more, considering the characters and the storyline here. But the game just didn't deliver. I uninstalled it and kicked myself in the rear for buying it. Of course, there are many gamers who will probably love the game, and the familiar unsavory characters still doing their evil thing. Choose your challenge which makes it playable for all skill levels, and if you can ignore all the shortcomings, you might enjoy "Deadly Dream." I just feel it was a big let-down plus not worthy of being a CE. Therefore, I feel uncomfortable recommending it. This time the demo just didn't follow through with what it was depicting.
I don't recommend this game.

Definitely for the kiddies, in my opinion. but a cute game. It was way to easy even with playing in Expert Mode. It was no challenge to earn our must-have 3 stars. I didn't care much for the tiles, kind of dull looking. The bonuses created the expected colors and sound, adding a little excitement for the moment. I thought the spiders were humorous, they quietly cowered away after being attacked. Usually, I find spiders to be irritating disrupters in a match 3 game. These appeared only once in the demo, but who knows what lies ahead.
I love the Peter Pan story, always wanted to visit Neverland on the flying ship. I wish this game was aimed more toward the adult players but, on the other hand, BFG doesn't really offer many games that are truly appropriate for young children. So, this one seems suitable for some innocent fun that parents don't have to worry about.
I recommend this game!

It has been quite a few years since purchasing the previous game, "Curse of the Dragon". I actually forgot about it until I saw today's release. I dusted off the cobwebs and played a little to refresh my memory. It is a very good solitaire game, so I'm thinking the quality will be the same, maybe better in "Diamond Relic." I bought it without hesitation after playing the entire demo. Great solitaire games are rare these days!
I love that there are so many levels. The variety of games is perfect for me personally. I think the card fronts and backs are very nice, I always enjoy trying them all throughout the game. The graphics are very busy and interesting and the music is good. Ample bonuses to help out, a choice of cursors plus there are hidden objects (optional) and a battle card game that are a bit of extra fun. I appreciate that the game can be customized, I like that feature!
"Diamond Relic", so far, is very enjoyable and I look forward to many hours of quiet, relaxing time with it. After coffee, I will be into the 30th level, it is a fairly challenging solitaire and there have been no technical issues to spoil the fun!
Try the demo, I think you just might like it.
I recommend this game!

as in so easy and so just-the-same as the previous Summer Adventure games. I played the entire demo and saw very little change in anything, the graphics seemed improved but that was about all, except for some minor variation in the HOs this time. For me the game is boring but might be one someone would enjoy just for an easy, relaxing escape from a hectic day.
As another reviewer pointed out, there is lack of quality control regarding spelling, grammar and phrasing. Each scene displays these errors and it just bugs me. There is the same variety of mini games as before and there are a lot of hidden objects to keep you occupied. There are numerous features available and the game runs smoothly throughout the demo.
Some items on the HO list were very small, which may be frustrating for those with less than perfect vision. I found minimal challenge in the games and HOs, so beginners will not be terribly tasked while playing. Some of the objects were disproportionate which was kind of silly. The music was just okay. Overall, I think the game is fine if you are not looking for much of a challenge and maybe need a break from your usual fare. So far I've not found enough to satisfy my entertainment needs in the Summer Adventure games, though I keep trying the demos. I do recommend it if you are not as picky as I am.
I recommend this game!

But this is another game I will not purchase because of the huge amount of mini-games and not enough HOPs. Why, oh why, must there be so many?? It leaves so little time for the actual story to play out, we end up with a short adventure with an unsatisfying ending. At least that is my opinion of these very long games that are filled up with nothing but endless mini-games. I guess I could skip over most or all of them, but that would be a big waste of $$.
I really love stories involving werewolves and was excited when I read the synopsis for Stolen Life. We don't get many werewolf tales these days. However, 50 games and only 15 HOPs according to other reviews turned me off to purchasing.
The demo was doable and went by pretty fast, it was entertaining and visually excellent. The colors were beautiful and the scenes were done so well. An exciting, interesting storyline most definitely. I always love and appreciate the great amount of CE extras we get with Five-BN. They never disappoint and 4 customized play modes make it possible for all skill levels to play. The game ran smoothly, sound was great and music was not overwhelming.
I know my decision to not buy this game may seem silly to many of you but, seriously, I don't want to spend the better part of 8 hours on just mini-games. Puzzle lovers will be super thrilled with this game. If there is a chance this could turn into a new series (with far less mini-games to dredge through), I would be mighty obliged and loving the stories as always from Five-BN. They really deliver top quality, so I certainly can recommend this new release to those of you who don't share my opinion regarding the over abundance of puzzles.
I recommend this game!

Had not played a Puppet Show game in a long, long time. The puppets were no longer a novelty and the stories were worn out. Thought maybe the series had run its course.
This new release was refreshing and the new robotic character added an interesting twist to the story. It has a more updated, kind of sci-fi feel to it, and in my opinion, brought the series back to life. The graphics are excellent and show off rich. colorful scenes. The wonderful artistic talents are evident throughout the game, which really keeps the interest from waning and enhances the overall gameplay.
I really enjoyed all the HOPs. Not being a big fan of mini-games, I didn't find the ones here so intolerable. I did skip a few just because my impatience won't let me hang in there sometimes. I don't think any of the fun is compromised by purchasing the SE, as the CE was pretty stingy with the extras. Fatal Mistake was fun to play and I did not see anything super scary and even though the game does come with a warning of violence, I didn't find it was necessary. It's a good storyline with the addition of cyborgs to perk it up a little. I think fun can be had by all skill levels. Give the demo a try, especially if you became bored with the Puppet Show series. IMO, the cyborg was a good move and may lead to more interesting stories involving mechanical characters.
I recommend this game!
