While I do agree with the reviewers who say they want to cancel their memberships, & I am going to do so this month, from what I've seen so far The Tiny Tale 2 is great.
I really like the sounds/voiceovers & the whole thing in general.
I'm just glad whenever I can find a half decent game anymore and I wanted to add my 2 cents since I'm not finding the music or characters unlikable. I hear that there's a technical glitch that comes up & I hope it doesn't affect me...! But shoot, I think any of us who are nauseated by the HOGs should support games like this.
I recommend this game!

I had seen this game on other websites, which was a good indicator that it wouldn't be just another clone of 600-700 other games (literally).
However, I found the gameplay extremely tedious & non-intuitive and just not satisfying. I played for 50 minutes but Artist Colony just became aggravating - trying to get the villagers to do their jobs or clean or even sleep was annoying.
I don't recommend this game.

I am very surprised here. I am not very fond of 99% of the match 3 games out there -over time, I have found 3 or 4 that have been excellent and now, too, this one. I like all of the side aspects such as building & improving the village and anything else aside from the matching, which is just fine also.
Great fun & for once - and I do mean once - I am not just not muting the music, but I have it turned up high. Very beautiful graphics.
At 1st I considered buying it with 40 minutes remaining in the free 1 hour trial but I said I had better give it some more time in case anything comes up. Played for 50 minutes total & bought. Good game.
I recommend this game!

Royal Envoy 3 is everything you would ever want in a Time Management game. Its got first & foremost a great LENGTH- and it is quite obviously made by guys who know their stuff & most likely play such games themselves.
Its always a bit obvious when a game has been developed by a non-player, someone just in it for the money.
RE3 is absolutely gold-standard, that's all I can say.
I recommend this game!

There is a point within this game where it becomes absolutely unrealistically difficult. I thought I was an expert but it just gets to be annoying & I had quit playing altogether.
Mostly I was just really psyched to see a Pac Man-themed game at all and since I like Time Management, I went ahead & bought.
BUT if you don't enjoy games grating on your last nerve, I don't recommend this.
I don't recommend this game.

I just felt compelled to review, not only because I'm ecstatic t see a non-HOG for once, but also because there were 2 reviewers and a few on the forum that called its puzzles hog-style and even called the game a HOPA, which it most certainly is not.
I worried that could detract REAL gamers from trying this out - trust me, it would - and I didnt want that to happen.
What you have here is your standard adventure game. So far, so good. Excellent animation.
I recommend this game!

This game has everything, as do most of the Royal Envoy series games.
Its simply perfect fun. You can tell that those who developed the game are lovers of the craft. Royal Envoy Campaign For the Crown is going to be played a few times a year for years in my house.
I recommend this game!

Northern Tale 3 is just perfect. It manages to fulfill every one of my gaming needs as far as the things I want out of a TM game. Just...perfect. I dont know if I can elaborate. Don't think that I'm being unhelpful - its just that this game is well done & fun, fulfilling & most of all: of a very good length.
That is imperative.
I recommend this game!

I just want to say that I feel bad for even giving any game made by this developer less than 4 and a half stars out of five, but The Stone Queen just simply couldn't earn them.
I'm not sure what happened here but quite frankly I am shocked! In fact, until my one hour demo had run out, I had completely forgotten that what I was playing was even a game by Elephant!
If you've never played these guys' other games please don't let this one turn you off. Try them out. I'd also recommend not buying the collector's edition of this one #& ONLY this one# because its just not worth it. It sort of feels like your favorite baker was out sick & sent his little brother in to make the cookies.
I don't recommend this game.

I guess my title says it all.
This game was ok, I was so glad to see a TM game that I tried the demo for about 30 minutes, liked it & bought.
However, I really only was able to play for about 3 days before completing the entire thing.
That's actually never happened before with a TM game - with other genres? ALL the time, but not TM. I'm really surprised.
My recommendation to the developer would be to either ADD SOMETHING ON!! like with an update or patch - give us more levels!! Or...I don't know. Satisfy me, somehow. I feel like I just didn't get enough out of the game. Noooo sir.
I don't recommend this game.
