I really didn't like the storyline. Once I got to the forge, I had to push myself to finish. I really dislike faceless dolls. I thought the eggs where a Easter thing and not how it was depicted in the story. The hops are used more than once, and I didn't mind that, but I didn't like how dark most of them are. It's hard to see. Also, the morphs are too slow for my liking.
I did like the pairs, matching symbols and in the right order. Has an excellent collectible indicator. Like the map set up with access to achievements and video.
I missed some collectibles at the end of the main chapter. I fixed something and the action didn't return to the scene. After finishing the bonus chapter, I clicked around in the collectibles, and it brought me to the scene I needed, and I picked them up.
Replay 19 hops, 28 movies, 12 mgs and 8 music. Has 4 chapter + bonus, 8 wallpaper, screensavers and concept arts.
Like the Egyptian theme. Black Cats mystery. Paris. Has 3 chapters + bonus. Not long but not short. Love the hops and the maze. Disliked checkers. 2 main collectibles most scenes (50). One morphs and one does not. 20 jigsaw pieces. Great indicator. I've been using the fireplace wallpaper since I started playing. Really like the achievements Egyptian style.
Bonus chapter is a prequel. Has Jessica as a girl.
Love the Spring flowers in this game. Yellow, purple and white crocus, tulips, snowdrops and hyacinth. I liked the theme in the story. Ulf has a wonderful manner. I'm using the lovely waterfall screensaver. I did find some interactive scenes. In Alfheim by the stairs touch the crocus and see what comes out. I can click around to my hearts content in the hops. The plus items have outlines just how I like them.
Loved all but one hops. In the bonus chapter it has a check the differences with one page without color, really didn't like. Some hops are used more than once but I didn't mind.
I did like paint by symbol, jigsaw, potion making, pairs, target timing, maze, pop up book hops and overlay hops. Didn't like the play from the collectibles. Rather hops or pairs.
Morphs were ok. I click on them before they changed, and I rather see them change. I don't like to wait around for them to change.
The bonus chapter is 25 years later.
Has 5 chapters + bonus, 8 wallpapers, 8 concept arts and 5 screensavers. Replay 17 hops, 30 movies, 11 mgs and 6 music. 97 collectibles ( morphs and animals). Excellent indicator.
I got use to the 10-minute achievement and looked forward to them but it's not in this one. Liked they have more than one scene at a time, has outlines in plus items, no penalty in the hops and liked the collectibles. Especially the marine curiosities.
They did a fine job on the bouquet of roses, but some places seemed not finished and they walk funny.
I didn't like the placement of the map. The notes were so close that I clicked on it instead of what I wanted, the map.
The jigsaw in the secret room is too dark. I'd like more collectibles and an indicator. Also, no wait time on skip and hints. The achievements were ok, badges. It could be better. Bonus chapter was just OK, if that.
Replay 14 hops, 12 mgs and 5 music. Has 3 chapters + bonus, 6 wallpapers, 1 screensaver (not from jigsaw). I found 12 marine curiosities and collectable bees. Secret room has jigsaw and Expedition is where you pick up a collectible you missed.
I liked the 12 morphing poisonous flowers, 15 patient photos, amusement park, gameplay, length, nice concept arts, voice sound level is good and story.
I disliked wait 5 sec in the hops. I want to click to my heart's content. I dislike not being able to access all the settings without going to the main menu. The environment, voices and brightness you have to stop to access. Don't like episodes and chapters announced that aren't in the guide. It makes no sense to me. Don't like the smile circle and location in my upper scene. They don't have a real purpose and things are better on the tool bar section except for collectibles. The Operation Room Boudoir is icky. The hops aren't fun anymore they are more like puzzles, don't like missing letters hops. don't like the part light and park dark in a hops scene. Some sounds are so terrible like knock, knock, knock at Noah's apartment. This + that hops was so frustrating with the super small picture that you can barely make out. Don't like that you cut way back on the amount of videos.
I like that the game is laid back and fun. No penalties in hops and no glitches. Loved all the hops and some of the puzzles. Hated the constant door closing sounds in the first scene.
I played for three days. It's not super long but had RL things to do. I liked the collectible shells and mermaid pictures but only 12 pictures. I think it could have more.
In the bonus chapter I play Marianna the sea witch and by carrier gull the princess sent a message for help. Something strange is going on in the castle.
Replay 13 hops, 13 mgs and 4 music. Has 4 chapters, 8 wallpapers and one screensaver (not from jigsaw). Has a couple wallpapers without characters. Secret room where you put together a jigsaw. Expedition where you pickup missed collectibles.
Collectible mermaid cards. I think the achievements could be better. I don't like dream catchers at all and don't like levels in achievements. Jigsaw from 24 collectible shells. I saved the jigsaw and I can't find it outside of the game. I guess it just means it saved that I put it together. I can replay it.
I think if all the Irritating stuff was fixed I would give it 5 stars but you really can't give 5 stars to some stuff you really hate or just plain don't like.
1. Audio. You have to stop the game for some audio and visual items like brightness. I put the voices all the way up but it isn't connected. The voices are connected to the music and the music drowns out the voices especially in the beginning. I turn down the Environment for a constant howling wolf. I turn down the Effects for the grading sound when entering a scene.
2. Wait 5 sec in the hops. Hate this. It's like enduring a tv commercial. A crow bar I needed for a hops wasn't even visible. Don't like memory hops. You know the clue guide for the hops isn't visible while you look. The this + that pictures were too small to play it.
3. No A+ on Visual. Hate the 2 tone hops, bright and dark. Part of the game doesn't look finished because it's in between concept art and done. I use to like the bright beautiful games now they are too dark in some scenes and have that ugly teal. The brightness can help but then the scene is washed out. I totally dislike the episodes and would prefer announcing chapters. Dislike the heart on the upper right of the scene and circle on the upper left. No really purpose and it takes away space in the scene that I'm playing. The main menu access should be by the tool bar. Don't mind the collectible indicator.
I did like the game play, some of the puzzles, characters and the story line. I liked the jigsaws and don't like them hard. I liked the stained glass hops and match warrior with weapon because I could see it well enough to do it. I Love that I can access the collectibles, morphs and boudoir while playing. At least with larger Dragon eggs, Morphing Magic potions and Dragon Scales you can find them.
It states Your dialogue choices have a impact on the game's storyline. Well the 6th chapter I answer wrong on purpose and I couldn't go into the house that I could see in the guide so I lost some game play. I replayed the game and the wrong answer didn't make any difference in the beginning chapters but I lost the right to pick up nuts and finish that gameplay. So some wrong answers made a difference and some didn't.
I can't recommend this game because it has too many Irritating stull.
I had tech problems at the end of my first profile, at the end of the bonus chapter and I was able to finish on my second profile. I liked it pretty well except the voice of young Hansel in the prequel, in the bonus chapter. His voice just got on my nerves.
Loved the hops and most of the puzzles. Collectible cards and morphs are nice and not impossible.
Replays on 31 movies, 19 hops, 12 puzzles and 6 music. Has 4 chapters + bonus, 7 wallpapers, 15 concept arts, 6 screensavers and 100 things to find (cards and morphs) Has card game if you find everything.
So Colorful. This came out 2018. No dark scenes, just bright and wonderful. Starting out the unique book called The Gates had all the people close to it disappear. I play as a seeker with my sister Margaret.
Long game with 5 chapters. Has Collectible statues, pages and crystals to find. Seller in bonus content is where you purchase things with points from the crystals. Bonus chapter has a nice stained glass window hops.
Replay 32 video, 19 hops, 22 mgs and 5 music. Has 22 wallpapers, 20 concept art and 5 chapters + bonus.
I had several tech problems. 1. Came back to this game after a week and I only had two items in my inventory. A flashlight and vinegar. The vinegar was from the 3rd scene and the game would only allow me into the 1st and 2nd scene. I had to start over.
2. Trouble with toggle puzzle. It took several attempts to get anything to move.
3. In the 3rd chapter after I put a wheel on the door, the game kicked me out.
4. Even though I purchased the CE the only things I can access before I totally finish the bonus chapter is achievements and collectibles.
5. The first hops in the bonus chapter is a story hops with no highlighted words. It need instructions and some placement didn't make sense. The last hop needed instruction and I didn't think it was a hops but a puzzle. I did enjoy it.
6. Finished and looked at bonus content. The replays on the 8 hops went from 1 and 8 only and no in between numbers. The replays on puzzles went from 1 and 9 only no in between numbers. The wallpaper went to only 1 and 6 no in between numbers. After playing around I found the arrows are backwards. It will work using the wrong arrow.
7. It has a achievement for the secret room but no title for the secret room. Had to use a circle with a picture of jigsaw pieces to access the secret room. I don't like the achievement that look like a stamp but rather items in a room.
The game is not how it should be. I did finish it but was trying.
I did like parts of the game like throwing bottle at a monster and mixing potions. Wasn't crazy about the bonus chapter until I went under the sea. Liked the dragon.
Replays on 8 hops, 9 puzzles and 4 music. Has 3 chapters + bonus, 6 wallpapers, 1 screensaver, weird jigsaw with no outline, Expedition room to get things you missed, 12 collectibles and 24 puzzle pieces. By the way the 1st and 2nd song in music sounds the same to me.
