This series is such a fun, relaxing little thing. The story line is amusing... but this time it ended abruptly. That could use a little work.
All the great characters are there and the gathering is interesting without driving you crazy trying to figure out what you have to get first. The snarky comments are still there and Max... gotta love that dog!
A good addition to this whole series. I hope they keep making them!
I've always hated that the Build-A-Lot games don't have a "relaxed" mode. Only the first two of these games were actually any fun.
As always they have made the timers so short that you can't possibly do what is required to pass the level without playing that level 5 or 6 times and having a lot of luck. At least you don't have to buy the building plans this time.
If you don't mind coming out of a game jittery, aggrivated, and frustrated, then you should have fun with this. Personally... I'd give it a hard pass... unless they come up with a "relaxed" version.
I play these games on the "relax" setting because I like just kind of puttering around. So it was with a bit of regret that I reached the final chapter and started it.
Now I'm sorry I bought this game as I will never bother to finish it. The ending chapter is SO EXACT that, even with the in-game walk-thru, it's hard to finish. I started about 5 times and gave up. I hate having to re-start a game.
So... good game, lame ending. Up to you if you want to bother... I wouldn't. I'm saying I would recommend the game because they don't have a "meh" button. As I said... it's kind of up to you as to whether it's worth getting due to the end.
Usually there is a fairly good story behind these games, but not this time. Anyone familiar with the story of Hades and Persephone won't be at all surprised. The game is the same as the others without any of the story surprises or funny comments that the characters sometimes made. If you like this game in all its incarnations, then you'll be happy. If you were looking for just a touch more... especially an interesting story... you'll be disappointed.
This game IS fun. I'll give it that. It's a collector's item, which usually means about 60 levels.
I made it to level 55 and the game just... ended. Bang. No explanation for what was going on, no extra levels, and a statement that I am 60% completed. ?????
Admittedly I played it on "relaxed". Maybe that made some sort of difference? Apparently this game is so new that there is nothing on the forums about it and I can't figure out who to ask what.
Anyway, if you like a game that's kind of random and not your usual "collect and move on" type of game, then this is for you.
I thought this would be a fun little collect and wander adventure game, but there is nothing at all to it. I enjoy the mindless collections - especially the ones that keep you from running out of supplies accidentally - but I also like a good story that ties that together... and this definitely didn't have that. By level 14, I didn't care any more what happened in the game. It's just not interesting.
