I found the story a little confusing because there are so many different characters. It would probably help to play the first game right before this one so the characters are fresh.
I played the game without sparkles in the active areas. It would not have mattered, because you know something needs to be done in the scene, just not what needs to be done.
The biggest problem is that nothing is intuitive in the game. You have no idea what should go together. Some things you find are labeled weird names or nonmatching names so you guess at what goes together. Ex. you have a staff part but the staff is not called a staff so you don't know where it needs to go.
You have to use items in the exact correct spot. You need to open a barrel, you have a spike it doesn't work on the top or the front you have to go to the side of the barrel. Directions for the mini-games aren't accurate or the mechanics don't work well, so I hit skip several times.
I like to be able to play a game without having to skip the mini-games and without using the hint button every few minutes just to figure out what to do next in the scene. It was more frustrating than fun.

I don't recommend this game.
Relive the original Farm Fables with new stages, extra stars, Bonus Mode, exciting social features and more!

I really enjoyed the first Farm Fables. I am not good at time management games but I made it through to the end of the original. I had the minimum amount of stars to unlock the levels as it got harder. But this version is not fun. It is like a weird cluttered strategy guide mixed in with the game. I went to the original and looked to see if it had a helpful tutorial. It did. It helped you figure out how to play the game in a really nice manner. If you think you might want to try the game, TRY the ORIGINAL FARM FABLE game. This version is a mess.
I don't recommend this game.
Visit a world where legends are true and magic is real in this enchanting Hidden Object game.

I think this game has great potential. It is geared towards children. It has pictures of what you need to find, so your child doesn't need to read. However, the objects are TINY!!!!!. And sometimes they recolor the objects so it makes it harder to find. Even the pictures of what you are supposed to find are TINY, sometimes you can't even tell what it is. If they reworked it, this game would be great. My child like the HOG, but she can't play a lot of the ones on the site because of the dark (scary for her) content. Definitely try it before you buy it.
I don't recommend this game.
