I love this series! This new release does not disappoint. The same characters are back with a new story line. There are new additions such as obtaining "gears" to use to enhance different abilities of John, Mary and Gremlin. The gears can be switched to a different ability depending on what needs to be done to complete the level.
For example, John's gear can be switched from allowing him to open gates for free to enhancing his fighting skeletons and wolves.
I found completing levels was challenging. I decided to try the normal level first, and I can't imagine how one could get gold at the expert level but will try once I complete the game at normal level.
This game is not for everyone, but couldn't the same thing be said about any game provided by BFG? Someone says it is too dark. I say the same thing about games about the supernatural. To each his own. Someone said there are no instructions. I contend that the pop-ups give some level of what to do. I guess if one has never played New Yankee, it would be confusing. As one who has played ever release, I can tell you this one is as good, if not better, than former releases.
I love this game and look forward to the next release!
I recommend this game!

As previous poster said, once the explosion booster is used twice, it cannot be used again because no more bags are available. Same with the missing pearl for another booster.
What I find most frustrating is no matter how many times one plays certain levels, beating the clock, finding all the coins and some of the extra coins (clicking on groundhogs/running animal, you can't get 100% of the coins. Why??? 4 stars only but still enjoyed the game. Quality Assurance peeps, someone missed the boat.

You have got to be kidding me! I love a challenge but this is ridiculous! A number of the extra levels were impossible to get the 3 stars. Those stupid minigames are terrible. The one where you have to put trash into the different bins is frustrating beyond belief! I didn't even finish the game. What is the point if one doesn't have a chance of getting the 3 stars? Won't buy anymore of this series if they include that crap!
I don't recommend this game.

I love when another Art by Numbers is released. I find completing the pictures relaxing. No stress trying to figure out the strategy, no trying to find a missing key to open a chest that doesn't appear in the room where I found the key, no time limit (btw, I also love time management); just picking the color that matches the numbers and eventually, a picture is completed. Some are weird, some are funny, some are right pretty.
A previous reviewer indicated there are a number of Christmas scenes in this release. I respectfully point out that Art by Numbers is now at release 47 which indicates to me that 22 was released a number of years ago probably during the holiday season. BFG, for some reason, stopped releasing Art by Numbers for a period of time and are now providing past releases.
I am happy they have decided to bring it back. I look forward to the next releases!

Was really happy to see this latest game in the series. After the last release, I was eager to see where the story would go. I have not been disappointed. I find a number of the levels quite challenging but look forward to the next level to see what is going to happen next. While I haven't finished the game as yet, I am hoping this is not the last in the series!
I recommend this game!

I do love Ary by Numbers as I find it relaxing. This release, while still relaxing, I find the pictures more suited for kids. The pictures in this release are not as, for lack of a better word, sophisticated. The pictures are more childlike unlike previous releases. Am hoping this is not a new trend with Art by Numbers.
I still enjoy this release, just not as impressed with the pictures.
I recommend this game!

I was shocked to see this game released by BFG. There are a lot more Art by Numbers since the last time it was released on BFG (last release was 18).
I did reach out to BFG a couple months ago asking if they ever planned to release anymore Art by Numbers. I was told to just keep watching for any new releases.
So, yes, I was surprised to see this release. I love Art by Numbers. I like this better than the other types similar to this one. I find it relaxing and look forward to more Art by Numbers from BFG.
I recommend this game!

I was going to give this game 5 stars but decided to wait until I got further into the game. While the game is fun and challenging, there are glitches within the game.
On some levels, you have to get pieces for an "Evidence Board". I have played level 10 at least 10 times in both Expert and Normal mode. There is no piece for the Evidence Board.
I just continued to play without that piece and by level 27, it was apparent that the quality control people of this developer were not doing their job. Again, there was no evidence piece. And, one action needed to get 3 stars was to build the Warehouse and load it. Well, once you build the warehouses, it automatically gives 3 stars. Same thing happens on level 30.
This really ticks me off!! I pay for the collector's edition and get ripped off! I have always enjoyed playing Golden Rails, but this release needs some serious updates to correct the glitches!!
Until they are fixed, I don't recomment this game!!
I don't recommend this game.

Needless to say, I was very happy to see the Incredible Dracula back! As I am cautious anymore when I see one of my favorites back because of glitches that are never fixed or games that don't even come close to previous editions, I played the trial before deciding whether to purchase.
Once through the trial, there was no doubt this was a purchase. I started playing in the expert mode but couldn't even get past the second level! I switched to Novice mode and even then, would have to restart or replay levels. The challenge is definitely there, one only has to determine the correct strategy to get 3 stars.
I read in previous post of a glitch in the first level. I didn't experience any glitches, so maybe it could be which mode one chooses to play.
In any event, I am truly enjoying this release. Welcome back Dracula!
I recommend this game!

I usually enjoy this type of game, but this one is ridiculous! Very little guidance on what is expected, especially after free trial is over. I should have known better when I couldn't for the life of me get the final gold star on the last level on the first group. No matter what I did, I could not get that star. I don't know if it was because I could not remove what appeared to be trash or what.
The game goes directly to the next group of levels and there is no option to go back and attempt to get gold stars on the first group. Once in the second group, the very first level has tasks that are not explained. I even let the timer run while I tried to figure out what the heck I was supposed to do to give customer what appears to be waffles with something blue on top.
I finally said the heck with it and know I wasted my money. This is what happens when one is so desperate for a new time management game. Lesson learned.
I don't recommend this game.
