Yes, this is similar to a popular game series but it's not exactly a novel idea to begin with. That said, it's a very pleasant way to calm your mind during these stressful times. I'm enjoying it.
I recommend this game!

I ran into the same material shortage in the first scene mentioned in other reviews so I went back and repaired the arch before the columns and strangely, I had enough material to complete the episode. I kind of enjoy weird little kinks like this so that didn't bother me at all.
It's a cute game with good graphics, a fairly interesting story and smooth gameplay. I recommend this game.

I don't know what you'd call this genre but it's different than anything I've ever played. I don't enjoy "battle" games so I wasn't expecting to enjoy this but wowza, this game got under my skin and I can spend hours playing it. It's difficult but you can save the game at a certain point and if you mess up, return to the point you saved. I'm so glad I tried this, I'm having so much fun with it. Highly recommend.
I recommend this game!

This kept me absolutely enthralled for hours at a time which most games haven't managed to do for years. The puzzles weren't particularly hard although the jigsaws were challenging but the game isn't linear and it's easy to forget something and you have to backtrack to figure out what it was.
I would love to see the rest of the series remastered, it's a guaranteed buy for me.
Thanks for this, I had so much fun playing it again.
I recommend this game!

This is a great looking game and it's not a cookie cutter, run-of-the-mill HOG like we've been getting from the big developers so that was enough to intrigue me. The mechanics are different enough that I'm having to use the hint button more than usual till I get the flow of the game and yeah, some of the language is a bit stilted but I actually enjoy that part. It's different and a little rough around the edges and it feels like a breath of fresh air. Your mileage may vary but it's worth a trial play.
I recommend this game!

It's not really much different than the park ranger/cruise ship games in that they're mostly simple hunt and click but hoo boy, there's a LOT of dialog. The graphics are okay, the story might be interesting if you want to spend 50% of the game reading inane dialog and the game play is pretty standard hidden objects mixed with the usual puzzles. I would have been fine buying this as a standard edition game but I really don't think this is CE quality.
I don't recommend this game.

I think I'd call these more "strategy" than time management, some of the levels on the first game were incredibly challenging with many choices of route with very limited resources that made only one route possible. Definitely trial and error and a good memory are needed to solve the puzzle.
I like the soothing Autumn colors and the music, while repetitive, doesn't jar on the nerves like a lot of games do. There isn't much to the story but I like the rest of the game so much that I don't really care.
I recommend this game!

The artwork is very clear but the hidden object scenes are still very challenging which is a nice change. This game doesn't hold your hand like recent big developers' game do so it takes a little more thought to figure out where and what to do next.
There are little Russian dolls to find scattered throughout the game to collect and lots of interesting USSR tidbits to see.
This game is like being served a hamburger after a steady diet of candy and soda. Give it a try, you might enjoy "eating" something a little more substantial.
I recommend this game!

Granted, the graphics are muted in color and rather drab compared to other strategy/time management games but it kind of adds to the feeling of an Autumn harvest in a fantasy kingdom. Also, the scenes don't give me a headache from all the competing and jarring colors these type of games commonly have.
I played this repeatedly after I bought it, eventually decided to remove it to make room for other games and yet... here I am downloading it again because it keeps popping into my mind after nearly half a year. I enjoyed it so much and want to spend time with it again.
It's a challenging game and the graphics are easy on the eyes. It's a perfect way to spend some time away from reality.
I recommend this game!

I had seen these being sold here over the course of several years but never checked them out because I thought the graphics looked goofy. They *are* goofy looking but that adds to the charm and the game logic and mechanics are probably the best match 3 I've ever played. Their mini-games are great too, especially their find-the-difference that are surprisingly kind of difficult (which I like).
These are fun, challenging and definitely replayable. Every version has slightly difference mechanics so they're not a carbon copy of each other. Hours of fun here if you like match-3.
I recommend this game!
