Why do I have to Collect Resources Twice??

I absolutely love time management games and the idea of picking the resources I need in the right order (thank you Hercules games!) so I am completely at a loss as to why game programmers force you to select resources TWICE. This is another of those flawed games where you tell the collector to process a resource (a berry bush for example) but, that's not enough. Once the "Beardless Wizard" picks the berries, you need to swipe the mouse over the "burger" icon to actually collect the food. I'm sorry but, I'm busy taking care of the next task to worry about picking up the berries you just harvested.. This whole two-step resource gathering process should be banned. Did you think i just wanted "Joe" to pick the berries and just leave them behind???

I really enjoyed this game and found that it was challenging but not too challenging to solve the many puzzles. I really liked the storyline right up to the end and then - without giving anything away - whaaaat?? A most disappointing and unfulfilling ending!
I recommend this game!

Predictable Storyline and Confusing Mini-Games

I completely lost interest in this slow, boring storyline somewhere in the castle. I was particularly frustrated by the mini games. Some were unique but the descriptions left me confused and wondering how to even go about solving them to the point I had to skip more than one trying to figure out what to do. I uninstalled this game before I even finished it.

I was looking forward to a good, challenging Hidden Object game with a Christmas theme to put me into the holiday spirit but this certainly was not it. I have played a lot of HO games but gave up on this one about halfway through. By that time, I couldn't figure out - or care less - about where I needed to use the numerous objects I was carrying in my inventory. Don't waste your money, there are a lot of much better games out there.
I don't recommend this game.
In Optika, solve challenging light puzzles with the use of lasers, prisms, mirrors, magnets and dozens of other optical devices!

This is a great game and the graphics are beautiful! Very addictive and, what satisfaction when you solve a particularly difficult level. Yes, it does require you to be precise but that is part of the fun! One rater said not for kids but my 12 year old actually solved some of the levels quicker than I did, and she loves the puzzles!
I recommend this game!
