LOST TIME IS ONE OF THE BETTER GAMES IN THE HAUNTED HOTEL SERIES

It is hard to believe that it has been over twelve years since the first Haunted Hotel game was released. Way back then it would have been hard to imagine that the series would become a classic hit with gamers and that we are now looking at game nineteen in a series that, IMHO, should have been ended years ago. That being said, I decided to try the demo for Haunted Hotel Lost Time and was pleasantly surprised. The game wasn’t one of the best in the series, but it was surprisingly entertaining. I ended up purchasing the game and found the game play to be enjoyable.
The graphics are excellent as usual with the only exception being the HOS scenes that are sometimes so dark and blurry that it is extremely difficult to spot the items that should be found. I know it is old school to have very tiny items to be found but that is what I disliked about the early games. I am not saying that items should be in your face easy to find but they should not be almost invisible, which unfortunately is the case with Lost Time.
The puzzles were entertaining but the downfall is that they were so easy to solve and so familiar that it took the challenge of solving them away. The good thing about Haunted Hotel Lost Time is that there is a good balance between HOS and Puzzles. I am sure those who love puzzles will be disappointed that there are not more of them included in Lost Time, but I did enjoy the balance for a change.
The collectibles are the standard fare and the same thing that we see in every game from this developer. There is nothing new just the same picture pieces to collect, the same collectible statues, and the same morphing objects. Yes, there is the Strategy Guide, Wallpapers, Music, and a Secret Room but I don’t put those in the same category as finding well-hidden collectibles and morphing objects. I appreciate that the developer has added morphing objects to each scene but there should be some creativity with the collectibles. I question why I continue to purchase the CE releases when I could wait a couple of weeks and get the same game as an SE. It would make no difference to the game as far as I’m concerned. If BFG wants gamers to continue purchasing CE games I think the developers should take a look at what they are presenting that would make gamers want the CE version versus the SE version of their games.
The gameplay was enjoyable, and I didn’t mind at all that I had to go through more than one room before using an item that I found as I played the game. Even though I needed to backtrack in the game, for me at least it was more enjoyable than finding a key and then turning around to spot a shed that needed the key I just found. I happen to enjoy going back to locations to find the objects needed to progress in a game. Many gamers want the items available in the same room but that tends to make the games more linear. I remember when I started playing HO games and would have to go through many rooms and cart along a large inventory of items. It was far more enjoyable than this “find an object, use it immediately” type of gameplay.
Although Haunted Hotel Lost Time is not a five-star game it is still a good HOPA game and one that I did enjoy. Overall, the game was a bit too easy with too much hand-holding to give it a higher rating. However, I think the game does deserve four-stars because of the storyline and the gameplay that had me very involved as I moved through the various locations in the hotel. Even though I enjoyed the game, as always I recommend that you play the demo to see if Haunted Hotel Lost Time is a game you will enjoy as well. Happy gaming!
I recommend this game!

Puppet Show Final Mistake is absolutely the best game in the Puppet Show series in years. I lost all interest in the Puppet Show games several years ago so it was quite a surprise when I found that I loved everything about Final Mistake.
The game has everything that make HOPA games fun to play. Although there are far more mini-games than HOS, I found myself enjoying the gameplay. Normally, I dislike finding almost twice as many mini-games as HOS in HOPA games, but it didn’t seem to bother me quite as much because I found that I enjoyed solving all of the mini-games with the exception of the few that I skipped as they were not my favorite type to solve. Because Final Mistake is such a wonderful game, I know that when I play it a second time, I will slow down and solve the handful of mini-games that I skipped the first time around.
The graphics in the game are beautiful and full of color. The artistic talent of the development team shines in every scene in the game. The original team created some of the most beautiful HOPA games that made me a huge fan of the genre. Although there is a warning in the beginning of the game about some violence, there was nothing I could see that would justify the need for that warning. The game has a good storyline that tied the package together and make Final Mistake a Puppet Show game that in my estimation is not a mistake at all. Since about the time that the seventh game in the Puppet Show series came along it was apparent that the series had dwindled to nothing more than cookie cutter games. With Final Mistake it is easy to see the difference, which has kept me immersed in the game much of the morning. I have been playing for almost five hours and have not yet reached the end of the original game. In recent years with so many HOPA games falling into the cookie cutter category, it’s not unusual for me to skip the Bonus Chapter but because Final Mistake is so terrific, I will definitely keep playing until I complete the Bonus Chapter.
The HOS are creative, interactive and a lot of fun. There is some variety in the HOS although many of the scenes are revisited more than once. If a scene is played a second time, there will a change in the style or type of scene. The mini-games were fun with various levels of challenge. I am not overly fond of mini-games but I did like the ones included in Final Mistake. I only skipped a couple of the mini-games that took more time to solve but I will solve them when I play the game a second time through.
Although the game is a Collectors Edition I didn’t really notice too much in the way of collectibles. There are no morphing objects which are what I enjoy most in CE games. Aside from the collectibles there is not much that I consider CE worthy except for the Strategy Guide and the handful of mechanical animals to be collected.
Puppet Show Final Mistake is such an excellent game that I highly recommend it to other HOPA gamers. In many ways the game seems “retro” in that it has a great storyline and a wonderful gameplay factor that has had me happily searching for items, playing mini-games, and learning more about Dr. Kingston, his assistant Natalie, and the cyborgs all morning. Even though I love Puppet Show Final Mistake, please try the demo to see if it is a game you will enjoy as well. Happy gaming!
I recommend this game!

Living Legends Remastered Ice Rose is as the title indicates the remastered release of the original Ice Rose that was released in March of 2012. I loved the original game but since I spent $13.99 for it back in 2012, there was part of my brain that screamed why should I have to shell out another $14 to basically play a game that I already own? Well, the answer is that the remastered game has so many changes and additions that it is definitely worth the cost! Those who own the original game will definitely notice the difference when they play the demo.
Your beloved Edward, a novelist, has been researching material for his new book when he comes across information that indicates a terrible tragedy took place in the village of Rosemount. He has left you with a message telling you that he has now gone to Rosemount to find more information. Of course, you set off to find him as soon as you receive his message. When you arrive in Rosemount you find a city that is literally a frozen wasteland. As you move forward in the game you will meet ghosts who will ask you for their help and when you complete their task you will learn more information about the story as the city begins to thaw.
The remastered release now has characters with voiceovers and lip movements so now there is no need for all the text that was found in the original game. Thankfully, the remastered Ice Rose still has my beloved Journal. I loved the days when all games had a Journal or Diary that told the story as the game progressed. Not only did it tell the story as the game progressed, it contained important clues that would be used later in the game. I There is now a custom mode of gameplay and an interactive map. I’m not sure if there was a bonus chapter in the original game but I don’t remember the collectible squirrels or the morphing objects that are now present in the remastered release. The graphics are great and portray the frozen land that is under the spell of the Ice Queen. Overall, the entire game has a fresh new look.
In Remastered Ice Rose some of the HOS still have those small and difficult to spot HO items. Normally I am someone who hates to use the dreaded hint button and I had to use it 3 times in the first scene. Overall, the HOS are very good, but some do seem a bit dark. The mini-games or puzzles are not brain drain difficult nor are all of them easy to solve but all of them are doable with some taking a bit longer to solve.
The original Living Legends Ice Rose was a game that I loved and it was sad that I was unable to play it on my Windows 10 laptops, thus another reason I was happy to pay for the new and improved game. I own all of the other Living Legends games but when there was a two-year wait before the Crystal Tear was released in January 2020, I was thinking that the series had been abandoned.
Living Legends Remastered Ice Rose is a beautiful game that has a wonderful storyline coupled with great HOS and mini-games. If you are like me and keep wishing that some of the newer cookie-cutter games were like those older games that we all seemed to love, then Living Legends Remastered Ice Rose is an introductory look at what will hopefully be a trend as more older games are remastered and updated to play on newer laptops with Windows 10 as well as on MAC.
Since I already enjoyed the original Living Legends Ice Rose, I knew that I would purchase this remastered edition as soon as I could hit that buy button. Although I think the remastered game is better than the original Ice Rose, please try the demo to see if you will enjoy playing Living Legends Remastered Ice Rose. Happy gaming!

I still remember when the first Chimeras game was release by Elephant Games in 2013. Tune of Revenge was, and still is one of the most awesome games I have ever played. Unfortunately, Chimeras Cherished Serpent pales in comparison to that first game and is simply another forgettable game in a series that has somehow held on past what should have been its last gasp of breath.
The storyline is laughable, and the graphics are even worse. In some respects, the game seems very unpolished and is so out of character for a game from one of my favorite developers. I honestly expect more from this development team that over the years has brought some of the best game series to BFG.
Generally, I write longer reviews but sadly, I was unable to complete the demo because Cherished Serpent is such an uninspired game. There are very few games that I ever give only one star and Cherished Serpent will now join that club.
Although Chimeras Cherished Serpent is not the game for me, please try the demo to see if it is a game that might just be perfect for you. Happy gaming!

In this latest game in the Enchanted Kingdom series you play the game as the daughter of Satur, a Forest Keeper with a big secret. As the game begins your dad is kidnapped by the wicked genie Sardonik and now you are off on a dangerous journey to save him.
One of the best things about this game is that we have a new and refreshing storyline, but along with the good comes the bad in that there is far too much hand-holding to make this game enjoyable for some of the more seasoned HOPA gamers. The game could easily be played by younger members of the family with little help from mom and/or dad.
The game has a lot to offer if you want an easy-peasy and relaxing way to spend a few hours of your time. The graphics are beautiful and although the developer uses a bright color palette, at least some of the colors are not as neon and artificial as they once were. It generally takes me a long time to play a game as I love to gawk at the scenery and every little detail, and this game has a lot to offer if good graphics are all that you want. Somehow even the beautiful graphics were not enough to hold my attention.
The HOPS are well crafted with some being better than others. I found that I enjoyed most of the HOS far more than I did the puzzles. Of course, there were still far more puzzles than HOS. Most of the puzzles were easy and I only skipped the maze puzzle because I couldn’t figure out what I needed to do.
Generally, I enjoy most games from this developer who creates some of my favorite games. Unfortunately, The Secret of the Golden Lamp is a bit too easy and I found myself able to play the game on auto-pilot. In the end, although I did purchase the game it will probably live somewhere on my computer gathering dust. As always, I recommend that you try the demo because The Secret of the Golden Lamp might be the perfect game for you. Happy gaming!
I recommend this game!

Hooray Morty the cat with more lives than is normally attributed to cats makes another appearance in this latest Mystery Tales game. Yes, he is a gimmick of sorts but who can resist a snarky cat with a humorous side that kept me wishing he had played a larger part in the game. Alas, Morty spends a lot of time snoozing on his pillow down by the hint button.
Mystery Tales Til Death turned out to be a surprisingly good game, one I really didn’t think I would enjoy when I played the beta. I guess I am not quite as burned with the whole evil bride theme as I thought I was since I found myself really enjoying the game and ended up purchasing it simply because I didn’t want to stop playing.
This developer has toned down its graphics and although there is still a bit of neon green the other graphics are rich with color. The voices are great and I love Morty’s voice that has just the right amount of snark. Another thing that I think is terrific and that only one other developer has done, is to give us a custom game setup that lets us choose how high or how low the hint time should be without imposing limits. Some other developers seem wedded to a 15 second lower end for hint and skip times and I believe that is simply used as a game extender because some of us hate to push that hint button. Thank you Domini Games for listening to what gamers have requested.
Another thing that I appreciate with Mystery Tales Til Death is that there is a fairly equal balance between HOS and mini games. The HOS are wonderful in the game and the developer has put a considerable amount of work into creating some beautiful and very well-designed scenes that most of us will enjoy. Even though I do not care for mini games in general as much as I do the HOS, the mini games in Til Death are very good and some even seemed to be a bit different than those that we normally see in every game. In fact, I didn’t skip any of the mini’s and found that I only had an issue solving one of them but that was just me because I misunderstood the instructions.
Domini Games excels at providing a lot of extras that make purchasing the CE a great value if you are a gamer like me who happens to enjoy the extra content. In the early days I started purchasing every CE because of the in-game Strategy Guide but as time has moved along and content in the Strategy Guides diminished, I still purchased the CEs out of habit. For gamers who are just beginning to play HOPA games, I recommend the CEs because they do provide some help when needed.
For me, Mystery Tales Til Death is a wonderful and entertaining game that kept me involved from beginning to end. The gameplay moved smoothly and better yet, it made sense. Not everyone will like the game but fortunately we all have different tastes. I don’t always like every HOPA game, but this is one of the better ones I’ve played this year and did find it appealing but that’s just me. As always, please try the demo to see if Til Death is a game that is right for you. Happy gaming!

Family Mysteries Echoes of Tomorrow is without a doubt the game that I have asked for over the past several years. Finally, a developer listened and stepped up to the plate and created true sci-fi game that is absolutely wonderful.
There is no need for me to go into the storyline because I don’t want to give anything away, but right from the beginning of the game you soon realize that Echoes of Tomorrow is different and not the usual cookie-cutter HOPA that we so often see.
The HOS are detailed, creative, and different. If you want easy HOS then you might be disappointed as the ones you will find in Echoes of Tomorrow are complex and take some time to complete. To be honest I felt that a couple of the scenes were difficult, and I had to use the hint button quite a few times to make it through the scene. Those difficult ones were at times frustrating and I simply wanted them to end. Fortunately, not all of the HOS were that difficult. I loved the developer’s creativity that presented some HOS that were more complex than the norm. Overall, the HOS are exactly what many HOPA lovers have been asking to find in games. Kudos to Brave Giant for stepping outside the box!
Wow, not only are the HOS different than the norm, so are the mini-games or puzzles. If you have read my previous reviews, you probably know by now that I enjoy the HOS far more than I do the puzzles. The puzzles in Echoes of Tomorrow are excellent and very well placed within the game. I did not feel overwhelmed by having to constantly play a puzzle or two in each scene. To be honest, I ended up skipping many of the puzzles because I didn’t understand the instructions, which I feel is one of the shortcomings in the game. There are some types of puzzles that I normally skip because they are ones that I don’t like such as navigating and avoiding obstacles, fighting opponents, or flipping switches. Even after skipping many of the puzzles, there were many left that I enjoyed solving. It was great to find a game where not all of the puzzles were basic and easy to solve.
Overall, I believe the game is excellent and can be enjoyed by all players but that being said, I think the game might be a bit complex for those just beginning to play HOPA games. Although the gameplay is fairly linear, at times it was tricky to find out what your first step might be within a scene. Sometimes the objects that were needed were easily spotted but that was not always the case and I found myself using the hint button far more than I have in years.
In the end, I am so happy to have a terrific sci-fi game that I know I will play again. My next time through the game I will try to find all of the elusive collectibles that I missed and to try to solve all those puzzles that I skipped earlier since not all of them can be replayed in the bonus content.
If you love sci-fi and want a true sci-fi game, I highly recommend Family Mysteries Echoes of Tomorrow. As always, please try the demo because you might enjoy this game as much as I did. Happy gaming!
I recommend this game!

ONE OF THE BEST NEVERTALES GAMES IN YEARS
PostedMay 8, 2020
Customer avatar
biscuitsmama
fromA young hero steps up to the plate as a Hearthbridge Guardian
Nevertales Hearthbridge Cabinet is the ninth game in the series and only the third one that I have purchased. I’ve not been a fan of the series in general but this one grabbed me, and I loved the game. There is really nothing new in the storyline with the ever present evil of some sort to be defeated but I found this game excellent with a young hero who is suddenly thrust into a world he never knew existed when his grandmother falls into a coma.
What really captured me is the beautifully created Taleworld that is full of color and crystal clear graphics. Although the storyline is the premise of most of the Nevertales games, I found the way the story unfolded with the new Hearthbridge Guardian from the time he learns of his grandmother’s illness and stepping up to save Taleworld. This is simply a beautiful game that for me was a joy to play.
The HOP scenes are terrific and a few are very creative but for the most part they are what we have seen before but hey, this is the premise of HOPA games so who cares. I simply enjoyed playing the scenes and finding the objects. As others have mentioned the puzzles are nothing new but I found them very entertaining and easy to solve. Some of my favorite types of puzzles are included in the mix and maybe one or two did seem new. I think I only skipped one puzzle because I hate dodging obstacles whether they are in the clouds or on a street.
For many of us who have played hundreds of HOPA games at BFG, this game will seem like the same old thing, but I still enjoy the genre and always enjoy finding the hidden objects and gameplay in general. Even though I love this game, please try the demo to see if it is one you will enjoy. Happy gaming!

Reflections of Life Utopia is, IMHO, one of the best games in the series. I didn’t even bother to purchase the last game, which is very unusual for me. I think I have almost all the Reflections of Life games since series began as they were graphically beautiful with great storylines.

Utopia brings back what I loved most about the Reflections of Life series in that it has a wonderful storyline, interesting and entertaining puzzles that I enjoyed solving and HO scenes that were excellent. For me the game moved at a great pace as I searched for the items I required to move forward. Although some might find the game easy, I had to use the dreaded hint button far more often than I generally do when playing HOPA games.

The HOS were very creative and sometimes the needed items were not easy to find. Although there were more puzzles in the game than HOS, it didn’t bother me as I did enjoy the puzzles that were included; some of which were my favorites.
When I first started the demo, I didn’t think I would enjoy the game as much as I finally did because I am not fond of puppets or carnivals but by the time the demo ended I hit the purchase button and as so glad that I did because, IMHO, the game is excellent. I simply had to find out why Pandora was in the Casket World, how she got there and why she was always punishing Ada.

Although, Reflections of Life Utopia rates among the top four games I’ve played this year, please try the demo to see if it is a game you will enjoy. Happy gaming!
