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.

I have loved this series since it first appeared on BFG. This new release does not disappoint.
I agree with previous post that making a wrong decision in the strategy makes it difficult at best to get 3 stars. I play the "hard" option, and trust me, it is HARD! Even using the strategy guide makes it difficult to get 3 stars, but that is what makes this game so challenging and fun.
If you want a game that doesn't requiring starting levels over again, then this one is not for you. If you like challenge and are as competitive as I am, then you will enjoy this game. When I finally get the 3 stars, I throw my hands up and cheer "YEAH!"
If challenge is not your thing, there is the "easy" option. To be honest, I didn't try that option, so can't speak to the difficulty level. I went straight to the "hard" option.
I love games that are challenging and this one definitely fits the bill!

Roads to Rome has always been a favorite of mine. That is, until now!! How could they release this game without fixing the bugs! Like many have indicated before me, there are so many bugs, especially with the flowers, it is impossible to get gold!
I will be requesting a refund or other game. Shame on the developer and BFG for submitting a game with so many bugs!!
The Kidnapper of Happiness has escaped, and it’s up to you to save the citizens of Abonda! Adventure awaits!

I was really enjoying this game, thus the higher stars for fun, challenge. This game is truly challenging requiring strategy and patience. Some levels will need to be replayed in order to get all the stars.
i merrily made my way through the different missions, realizing I would need to get all the upgrades to finally beat previous missions. Then, I made it to mission 20.
There must be a glitch to this level because it is impossible to move to get the pyrotechnician because even though the gate says it is activated, it not activated.
This is beyond frustrating and aggravating as I have been playing this game since it came out, had to restart a coulple times simply because it took that long to figure out the strategy to move on.
Words cannot express how angry I am about this! Such a shame, because this was one of my favorites. Not any more!! BEWARE!!
I don't recommend this game.

I was really looking forward to this game as the reviews gave it high remarks. I don't know what game they were playing, but it couldn't have been the one I tried.
As a previous poster said, it is very dark and hard to see just what is supposed to happen. And, with no information on what is supposed to happen next, I got frustrated not even 30 minutes into the trial. I had to use the hint button so many times, I figured it wasn't worth my time or money.
Too bad, as I said, was looking forward to a fun game...NOT!
Complete beautiful works of art and let your creativity shine!

I usually love Art by Numbers, at least I did in earlier versions. I've noticed as the versions go on; the level of relaxing fun as gone down.
To be fair, Art by Numbers 14 seemed to listen to those of us who were not happy with the teeny, tiny fields that were impossible to find unless you enlarged the picture to the utmost capacity. I thought at first it was going to be another search and find, but in later pictures, the beautiful pictures were there, and it was not quite the challenge to find pin head fields.
I downloaded and bought this latest version because I figured the developer was listening to those of us who were becoming frustrated with the minute fields that required a hint even if the picture was enlarged.
I am only on the second level and am losing my patience with this version. Not only are there way too many minute fields, but the pictures are not that appealing.
Won't say this is the last version of this series I'll purchase, but if the developer releases another version as frustrating as this, that will be my last. Just sayin'...
I don't recommend this game.
