I was so happy to see our Incredible Dracula make a return visit to BFG. Didn't even hesitate to purchase. Have to say, I was really disappointed in this latest game.
Takes no challenge whatsoever to get 3 stars in normal mode. There is quite a bit of challenge in the hard mode to the point it takes away from even trying.
I do love this series, I really do. But, it is not the Incredible Dracula of days gone by. I understand the need to cut costs in programming/development of time management games, thus this series stopped doing Collector's Edition a few games past. But, one of the things that made this series so successful was the challenge but not to the point of almost being impossible. And, I miss looking for the "hidden objects" on each level.
I recommend the game but only because TM games are so few and far between, and it does pass the time. I am hoping the developers will bring back some of the past features that set this TM game apart from all the others ;)
I recommend this game!
Painting has never been easier! No need to stress about what color to choose, just relax and enjoy!

When I saw this game, I thought it would be boring. But, I was wrong.
Is it as exciting as a TM game? No. Is it as challenging as one of the many hidden object mysteries? No. You find the spaces that are numbered and click on the corresponding number on the color chart.
But, I found this a very relaxing and fun escape from the other types of games. I am thoroughly enjoying this. And, the music is relaxing as well.
Wouldn't mind seeing more like this.
I recommend this game!

I was so happy to see Moai VII as the game of the day! Have always enjoyed playing this series, and this latest game doesn't disappoint.
There are a few different things from previous games. Such as gathering emeralds one uses to move faster and increase resources. You can also use emeralds to spin a wheel in order to obtain more emeralds or other resources.
The usual building of resource buildings are still present as well as the ability to upgrade them in later levels.
The only slightly annoying thing is the wait for each level to load, but other than that, I am enjoying this game as much as the previous games in this series.
Oh, and another small disappointment is that it isn't a Collector's Edition. But, what the hey … the game is fun and challenging. Things I look for in a enjoyable time management game.
Looking forward to moving forward and obtaining gold stars to the end!!
I recommend this game!

I have to admit, when this first appeared as the game of the day, I only played a couple levels and felt it was not for me. However, after seeing the reviews, and not having a TM game available I had not already played, I decided to give it another try. And, I am happy I did!
I agree with previous poster that what may seem an easy game at first, the challenge became more challenging as it moved to later levels.
I was pleasantly surprised that a game came out w/out being a Collector's Edition and had 50 levels, some of which had to be played 4-5 times before determining the strategy to obtain 3 stars. I enjoyed searching for the owls on each level, and the "Wanted" tab shows the owls found and those not found so that you could go back to the level to find the missing owl.
The levels to shoot the bad guys before they shoot you was a fun exercise. I still have not been able to get close to 3 stars on the last of those levels, but it is fun trying.
If you like TM games, I honestly think you will enjoy this game.
I recommend this game!

I love time management games, so I am always happy to see one offered on BFG. This is definitely one I could have passed.
While it gave me something to do as I've already played most of the TM games, I would not have purchased the CE.
The game is really easy, and I mean easy. The timer is very generous and one would have to be really novice not to be able to get 3 stars on every level. There were only 2-3 levels where I had to replay to get the 3 stars.
I played the entire game and the 10 bonus levels. If bonus levels are not important to you, then wait for the standard game to be released.
If all you want is something to pass the time, then this game is for you. If you are looking for a challenge, give it a pass.
Primrose Lake is not as quaint as it seems. Experience a new Time Management mystery where everyone has a secret.

I really did enjoy my attempts to beat each level and get 3 stars and all the achievements. However, the story left me confused. I have to be honest, it is rarely that I read all the conversations as I really just want to play the game.
I was intrigued as to what was going on here. So, I struggled through the conversations, that at times took FOREVER!! In the end, I was more confused than I was about half way through. I really thought I would get what was going on, but by the end of the game, I had no idea what the heck was going on in this crazy town.
That said, I did enjoy playing the game. It's not my favorite TM type of game, but it kept me busy on an otherwise boring day.
I recommend this game!

I absolutely love Incredible Dracula games. I remember when I played the very first of the series. I was, at first, confused as it was very different than other TM games being offered at that time. Once I played a little longer, I found I really liked how different it was. The series continues to be my favorite TM genre.
The newest offering follows previous games with the same cast of characters and a few new faces. The only thing I really miss from the last few releases is having to look for "hidden objects" on each level. There was the "princess" and "gift boxes". But, alas, those days are gone. Knowing how much work goes into the development of the games, I understand in order to keep costs down, some things had to go. Too bad.
All that said, I still love this series and look forward to the next release! Would love to see a Christmas theme Incredible Dracula :)
I recommend this game!
An exciting time management journey through a fairytale kingdom!

I have to admit, when I first started playing this game, I wasn't too impressed. However, after playing several layers, I saw promise. I wasn't disappointed! As you move further into the game, the challenge is definitely there. Quite a number of levels were very difficult to achieve.
One of the tricky aspects of the game is that you don't need to use all the resources to achieve 3 stars. One's first assumption is that all available resources will be necessary to complete the level with 3 stars. Not so in this game. Seeing a bunch of juicy resources just hanging out behind a fallen tree, a rock or hole to be filled is very tempting, but wasting time with them will not get the desired 3 stars.
As mentioned, the higher levels required a great deal of thought and strategy. Have to admit, if not for that site that shows videos, there are some levels I couldn't determine the strategy. Only after watching did I slap myself on the head and ask, "Why didn't I see that??"
I strongly suggest that you give this TM game a try. No, it's not Incredible Dracula, but it is a fun and challenging game.
I recommend this game!
Start this madcap quest with Princess and her Lady-in-waiting.

At first glance, I didn't think I would enjoy this game. However, after playing, it become more enjoyable and challenging. Some of my favorite TM games are Incredible Dracula, and this one has become another favorite. Some levels, I had to play 3-4 times in order to develop the strategy to get 3 stars. Although not as challenging as earlier Incredible Draculas, this still kept me guessing. Wish there were more TM games such as this.
Hope to see more from this developer ;)
I recommend this game!

I thought there would be no more Virtual Villagers as it has been quite some time since the last version for PC was released (there is a Virtual Villagers Origin, but it is just for phone apps; don't know why it not was developed for the PC).
In any event, I was very surprised and delighted to see this version available for the PC user. I can tell you right up front that this game is not for anyone who lacks patience. This game will require tons of patience and time, but as each goal is achieved it is well worth the wait.
As in most of my reviews, I give kudos to the developers for this type of games. The hours and hours, days and months it takes to ensure that every action is captured and added to other actions to achieve the goals. From choosing skills for each worker, to having them reach master level for the skill, to ensuring only master skills can achieve certain goals, to ensuring young workers can't have children too early, to gathering resources and making sure using certain resource with other resources provide necessary items to move on.
I could go on and on, but this is a minute list of the what the developers put in place to bring this game to fruition. It doesn't include the number of hours that the game must be tested before release. All this just amazes me when I play this type of game.
In any event, I highly recommend this game to those who have the patience and who enjoy reaching hard to obtain goals.
Hope there will be another Virtual Villagers, but I know it won't be anytime soon ;)
