Typical solitaire game. I did like that there were goals on each level. Even playing the difficult level it was a pretty easy game but having played the Legends of India match 3, I was disappointed that even the dialogue was the exact same as the other game, which I bought previously. For that reason I would not buy this game.
I don't recommend this game.

I have been playing the same level for too many hours and have totally lost interest in this game now. You have to completely win almost every hand with maximum gold card points to move on to the next level. I just started level 15 and have had to play the first of 10 games over and over again, buy a bunch of jokers and still could never get all the points. I know from the last game you can only miss 2 or 3 gold cards out of all 10 hands if you want to move ahead. Very sorry I bought this. I'm done.
I don't recommend this game.

So this is my favorite of all game genres and I usually just whiz through even the most difficult with 0 or 1 mistake. This just didn't register for me and the instructions were, I thought, a bit vague. I thought I was using my best logic and still there were errors. Plus the one color became boring for me. I like the multi-color games. Try it but don't be surprised if it just frustrates you.
I don't recommend this game.

I found this enjoyable. You can almost always solve with no guessing, the pictures are identifiable when finished and some quite clever in their design. You have to win 3 stars on each game to get the bonus puzzle, which I like and if you use "help", you can win the game but without 3 stars. After the bonus puzzle is another type of puzzle for a little variety. I found these difficult enough to be an enjoyable challenge without being frustrating. Quite a few colors in most of them. It was a buy for me.
I recommend this game!

And I feel I'm being a bit generous with 3 stars but I realize some may like this game - I didn't. First, there is some guessing required, and although you get 4 hints with no penalty, that's not really the point of these games. Second, the pictures created are random blobs of this and that for the most part. Once in a while I could say, that's a key, or that's a coffee pot, but none of them are interesting where you say, oh cool. Third, I really don't care at all for the "shapes" puzzles where you have to click to change color and to change shape. The shapes have no purpose other than to be different from the other shapes and when you change colors it doesn't automatically go to the first shape which causes errors you wouldn't typically make. The shapes don't depict anything unique as far as I can see. Fourth, some are so simplistic that they're a total waste of time and many only have 3 colors. When there are more colors often there is only 1 square with the additional colors. And last, although it calls itself the world's greatest places, the pictures do not depict anything to do with places. I love the genre but not this game.
I don't recommend this game.

I love the games that are commonly called mosaics, or nonograms, griddlers or crossfills. This is really very similar to a jigsaw except for the shapes of the puzzle pieces. You get 1 key each if you complete the puzzle, complete it with no mistakes, and complete it within the time given (pretty short - around 1 minute) which is where the only real challenge was. You need to collect a certain number of keys to move on to the next set of puzzles. If you are a big jigsaw fan you might like this. I didn't care for it though, although I do like jigsaws. You can also go untimed and automatically get that one key. The puzzles were all paintings and they were very fuzzy and not good quality. They were reminiscent of Monet works, but not as recognizable.

I love a challenging Match 3 - this isn't it. I enjoy a decent building game - this isn't it. Time management games can be enjoyable - this isn't it. Mostly what it is, is the hero running around in circles doing who knows what. I really found it tedious and boring on all levels. Perhaps it would have been a little better with meaningful instructions, but probably not.
I don't recommend this game.

I only played the demo, and I did enjoy it, but I found by the time it was over I was losing interest. Too much of the same old, same old with not enough variety being introduced into the play to keep it interesting. I wouldn't buy it but if you absolutely love this genre it might appeal to you. I'd at least recommend giving it a try.
I recommend this game!

I usually buy the Fantasy Mosaics without even demo and I almost did it with this game because it looked like the same quality. But, I decided I better try the demo and glad I did. This has so many elements to make it a great game of this genre, but alas, it has a fatal flaw - you can't see the numbers well. Even worse, you can't tell if something has been filled in or not on many of the squares because they use very dark colors and black a lot and the background, which never changes, is a very dark green. That's why I gave the challenge level a 3, because too much of the challenge was seeing the colors vs. solving the puzzle. If they fix that they have a winner that I would buy.
I don't recommend this game.

This game is a biblical story game, which may add interest for some. I like the gameplay but it is not challenging enough for me. If you just want to pass some time I think you would enjoy. I played the entire demo but I don't think I like it enough to buy it. I'll keep it on my list in case I run out of things to do on a rainy day.
I recommend this game!
