I'm so far past done with monsters, robots, evil spirits, colored smoke, royalty in distress, evil misguided siblings and all the overused other tripe. I'm buying very few HOPs these days and the above is the reason.
This game may not be perfect but it also contains none of the above. That makes it 2 thumbs up and a definite purchase.
Some complained about the lack of reality in some tasks. Uh, what is more unreal than evil monsters that morph into royalty in distress and vice versa, etc?????
I recommend this game!
Dig the Ground is a unique puzzler that has you matching gems and using all sorts of tools to clear the ground tiles beneath you to uncover treasures!

As others have said - very different type of match 3. I almost didn't buy it because of initial bad review. Glad I decided to try it. Quite challenging and an enjoyable change.
Best news - no demons, no colored smoke, no royalty in distress, no evil spells, no monsters, no amulets, etc. These factors alone makes this a great game for me.

... made this a buy for me almost immediately.
I'm not crazy about the artwork, which is a little on the simplistic side. Ordinarily artistic style and coloration are a big part of my decision to buy. In this case it was decisively offset by the fact that this is a straightforward murder mystery with none of the aforementioned factors.
Thank you for this refreshingly different game!!!!!
I recommend this game!
Dive into one of the most celebrated epochs in history, solve card riddles and enjoy the grandeur of the 1920s.

I was looking forward to a new fun to play solitaire game. This game may be new but there is nothing fun about it.
This loser is a boring match 2 numbers solitaire game. But that's not the worst thing about this game. The card patterns are HORRIBLE! The only thing complicated about this game is trying to match the cards amid the far too busy card patterns.
Yuck! I'll pass.
I don't recommend this game.

I've been so irked by the same ol' same ol' games offered lately. This one is a ray of sunshine.
Thanks!!!

Yes, it was a little too simple. Yes, it did lock up a couple of times - easily remedied by restarting the game. BUT, no ghosts, kingdoms, monsters, evil spirits, purple smoke, or other same ol' same ol' so I really liked this game. A straightforward mystery within a solitaire game.
Very welcome change from the usual.

I don't usually buy non CE games but tried this one and really liked it. No royalty in distress, no monsters (so far), no purple smoke. Those factors make this game unique.
I know some panned it (thus my review title) but, in my opinion, it's pleasant change from the usual fare. Artwork is great - bright, clear, and well done. Story line is different from the typical tripe.
Thank you for this entertaining game.
I recommend this game!

I'm not playing a game that forces me to listen to the music. I saw I had no control over the music volume and quit without playing at all. Looked like it might be a good game too.
I don't recommend this game.

I love good match 3 games. This is nothing like a good match 3 game.
Where to start - delay between moving mouse and icons moving, can't do another move till current move has been completed, items look too much alike, no hint button, no untimed version. Yep, that about sums it up.
I expect a lame story line with a match 3. This one does not disappoint there. Lame story line complete with purple smoke. *yawn*
I lasted about 5 minutes. Too bad. Have been reduced to playing old match 3 games over because the last half dozen or so have been so very lame.
I don't recommend this game.
The new Clutter is here! Enjoy over 500 new objects, new play variations and follow Leigh's story!

This game is just plain entertaining. I've bought the previous Clutters so bought this one as soon as I saw the title. No pressure, no monsters, no purple smoke, no royalty in distress just simple matching and other activities. Great game.
I recommend this game!
