I have loved the chimeras series and this one is no different. I am an old man so like the puzzles that waste a lot of my time and take my mind off my arthritis. The developers have not shown any sign of taking less care and trying to ride on former glory as some do. It seemed that the graphics are better on this one.
I recommend this game!
A romantic match 3 adventure of a lifetime! Experience the sites and sounds of famous French locations!

This game was a long time in the making. I thought they had given up after summer in Italy. The game play is just the same, It isn't hard unless you are old and feeble like me. I started the demo and after finding that I had played almost half hour went ahead and bought it. This game is a top rate time waster for me. I don't like the music on this one as well but that is just me. This game is great for someone who wants to let their mind wander while playing.
I recommend this game!

I have the entire phantasmat series and almost think this is a different franchise with the wrong title. It is not the old style creepy game I know and love. The play was clunky and while the video quality was good it was like poorly managed puppets. It might just be my age but I had trouble concentrating on the "story" line. I do not recommend this game. If this is the best they can do, Please stop the Phantasmat franchise now.
I don't recommend this game.

I realize that the marks I gave this game are terrible, but it fills a niche for me. In my day, before these infernal thinking machines, when lost in thought, I would find my self doodling on paper with a pencil. This game is the same. Mindless, repetitive, and calming. It does not have to be perfect to work.
I recommend this game!
Travel to Italy and play a variety of incredible puzzles. Enjoy the adventure of a lifetime!

This game is not near as good as spring in japan but is still a nice time waster for this old man when my arthritis keeps me from playing other games. Everything about this game seems like the developer just was not in the game. The graphics are not good, the mini games are not nearly as good. This is still good for an evening of mindless playing though. Sometimes I need to turn off my mind and just play.
I recommend this game!

After the first installment of this game I almost did not try the sequel. The first game was boring and in spots impossible without cheating. To my amazement after the very long tutorial I found myself playing it for extended periods of time. The mini games sprinkled throughout are a bit much for a tired old man like me so I just do them on casual. I do think the basic premise of the mini game, giving diabetic zombies candy to kill them is a bit insensitive. I have had relatives die from diabetes and did not find that amusing. I am almost done with the main game now and will keep it filed under "3am timewaster" on my many sleepless nights. I do recommend this game.
I recommend this game!
Play your cards right and you might escape the zombie apocalypse! Biting humor and fun card game action await you in Zombie Solitaire.

This game would be fine if it did not have a level which can not apparently be solved. I am an old man so can be stubborn as heck and have tried this one level 157 times so far never having less than 20 cards left. It seems that the computer simply does not want to lose.
I don't recommend this game.

I have tried this game 9 separate times and it always fails on the same level, 20 something with feeding wolves. Game just wont let me complete the task so can not continue.
I don't recommend this game.

This old man is taking a look at the 6th game in the rescue team series. I like the relaxed mode so if I dose off while playing it isn't necessary to restart the game. The dog is a cute idea. The game play, of course, is just a repeat of the last 5 but it must be working. The visuals, while not exactly ps4 standard, are better than the last installment. not sure how this game would go over with a young gamer, young to me means under 60, but it works for me.
I recommend this game!

I have fantasy quest and found this game identical even to the music. If I had bought this one first then I would not buy the fantasy, but, I had bought fantasy so don't need this one. It is a great game for an old man with poor sight, arthritic hands, and the attention span of a gnat. It is worth the price if you don't have the others.
