Lack of clarity in the "mini-games" ruined any enthusiasm I started the game with. I would try the mini-games & most of which I landed up skipping {which I normally hate to do } The bright colors were okay. That's about the extent of my opinion : (
The graphics, sounds, jump map and characters were okay but the entire game felt like it was dragging on and on and on. I did find all the Phoenixes with the help of the Guide and had to use the jump map in the bonus chapter to know if I had missed any. I am aware that a majority of my Fellow Fishies really liked it and so may you if you give it a try, For my personal game score reference I'm going to give it a 3 & 1/2 stars.
When I saw a new seafaring game I got all excited and bought it after a short trial that went okay but I wish I had gotten a different game. I gave it 2 stars for a good storyline & I liked the graphics . I definitely did not enjoy having to fight with the items in inventory that had to be clicked on more than once and invisible items jumping out of nowhere to the place they needed to be. This game felt like the Developers dragged out an old project or were in a rush to market it. Because so many of our games come from other countries and I have read that finding good voice actors that can speek fluent English can be really difficult so I don't let that bother me. I am not going to recommend for or against this game and will let you make your own decision. On my own personal game score this is a **2 out of a possible ***** 5.
This is not the best nor the worst of my beloved HOGS. Four Friends seems to put their hearts into their games. This one had lot of twists and turns but still did not "grab me" But to try and be fair only playing a few minutes at a time probably didn't me to get into it, but I did pay attention to 4 Friends touch :) I will continue to try out the "dark City" series :)
Short & sweet review, really enjoyed all aspects of this game. Story-line and all. It was a pleasant surprise because of the negative reviews , which goes to show you to try the game for yourself first because we all have different tastes ; ) This one gets a ***** out of 5* on my personal enjoy-ability scale : )
What a surprise to find a wonderful "older game" { this was because I like to read other Fishies Reviews, esp. when I have PCC to enjoy using & frequently find games I have missed } I liked everything about from the storyline to the end and actually smiled at the ending. I was really surprised to find that Grim Legends: The Forsaken Bride was produced in 2014 as everything is "up to snuff" All I can say is that if you have never tried this game, why not give it a try :) especially with the PCC's we will be getting this weekend with the Mothers Day BOGO ;) I'm giving this one a full ***** out of 5 ***** on my personal enjoy-ability scale....even though it is an SE it was great!
Everything was good but being unable to make up the missed collectables was a disappointment and there were 2 scenes where the sounds could not be stopped without going to options and cutting it off. the rest of the game was great. thank you 4 Friends for another outstanding game :) This one is getting a **** & 1/2* out of 5 ***** on my personal enjoy-ability scale.
I enjoyed everything about this game and I knew from playing the Beta that I would not hesitate buying it as soon as it became available ! I loved the humor, graphics, colors, storyline, music, HOPS and Mini's and even the character Collins. Please read some of the positive reviews written by my Fellow Fishies. I was tickled when some parts reminded me of my favorite old game Hidden Expedition; Amazon (which I just re-downloaded to play again (love the jungle atmosphere and corny storyline ;)
Good Job 4 Friends !!! : ) I really liked everything about this game except some mini-games were too long with too many repetitions for my poor Mousey , so I end up skipping them [which I do not like to do], other than that I would happily give it a 5 *****. And yes, I recommend this game : ) And I'm giving this fine game a 4 &1/2 **** out of 5 ***** on my personal enjoy-ability scale.
This is a really fun to play game and I hope there are more of this storyline to make it a series but add just a few more hogs to it . Everything about it was a 5 in my humble opinion, even the mini-games were mostly fun and I am not normally a mini-game fan. The characters, colors, voice - sound & music, story-line, graphics, collectables, hint system, maps, general gameplay, I enjoyed it all. I'm giving this one a 5 ***** out of 5***** on my personal enjoy-ability scale : )
