Friendly Fox is my fave remaining dev at BFG, but they cut a lot of corners on this game. For one, it's ridiculously short. Two, they cut the number of collectibles in half. It seems the reduction of CE content and quality is becoming yet another problem with BFG's adventure games. I've seen few companies more intent on completely destroying a whole game genre for the sake of more frequent game releases and for minimizing support incidents. Just a clue BFG....you're making the rest of us pay the price for trying to create games that will run on any system regardless of its age, power, or internet bandwidth.
I don't recommend this game.

Once upon a time 2012-2013, BFG games kept getting better and better with nearly every game iteration. Then they sold the company to the casinos. Ever since that day, it's been a race to the bottom in terms of fun, quality, and graphics.
They immediately laid off all development staff and customer support and began to rely on 3rd party developers exclusively. Along with that, they lowered the quality of the games to the rock bottom so that they will run on even the oldest PCs to lower the chance of refunds due to no longer having support.
I'm convinced that Domini has the same tasks and puzzles in the exact same order, with every game having a slightly different story overlaid on it. Who cares if there's lots of bling if you're bored to tears and pulling your hair out over one inane task after another. I honestly don't think BFG or Domini care anymore.
I've already discontinued my club membership, and I haven't bought anything in months. At least I'm saving money.
Unless you want to play the same game you've played over and over for the past 2 years, stay away. At the very least, TRY IT before you BUY IT.
There's still a chance to save adventure games, but only if BFG is willing to make a huge u-turn.
I don't recommend this game.

First off, this is my kind of game. This is like classic adventure games. No handholding, no map, you have to figure out what to do next instead of everything being in-your-face obvious.
I think many of the reviews so far for this game speak volumes. We wonder why games have become so ridiculously easy and when one comes along that forces you to think and revisit areas everyone starts to complain. This is how adventure games are supposed to work, if you don't like it, maybe you should try another type of game.
For me, I compliment the developer for a refreshing change!
I recommend this game!

Get ready to play the same game that you've played from Domini for the last 15+ iterations. One would think that they'd either hire some new blood or else throw in the towel. I'm not trying to be harsh, but I have never enjoyed any of Domini Games. They always bore me after about 20-30 mins into the game. Who cares if it's 8 hours long if you're falling asleep while playing the game! I honestly think that the remaining adventure game makers on BFG have run out of the ideas after about an 11-year run. It's time that BFG finds new developers or else returns to making its own games again.
I don't recommend this game.

So let's see, you decide to end a long-running, popular game series. Instead of giving it a fantastic send-off, you make it the lamest, easiest game you've ever made. This makes no sense. And let's not even talk about the short length. It's high time that BFG puts an end to these ridiculously short and repetitive games. There are very few adventure games compared to the past, with one per week or less on BFG. So what's the excuse for these inane, short, mindless games that are being passed off on us customers these days?
I don't recommend this game.

5-BN is my favorite dev, and they are the only dev that hasn't caved in and gone with cheap, low-end graphics. This game has the quality of the games that nearly all of the BF games had back in the 2012-2013 years before it was bought by another company. It has challenge, beautiful graphics, and a great story. I struggle to understand why some reviewers dislike this. It's just my opinion, but if you want to be entertained without some challenge, then go watch a movie.
I recommend this game!

Once again, Domini creates the same old game with a slightly different story....The same tired tasks that no normal person would ever do, the same old clichés they repeat in every game. and it seems like the tasks are completed in the same order as their last 10 games too. At least I continue to save money by not spending on this tripe. Who cares if it lasts a long time when you're bored stiff!
I don't recommend this game.

I should have listened to the reviews before buying this mess. This game is one of the worst efforts Elephant has ever produced, and I'm normally a fan of their games. The graphics and story are terrible. I was getting bored after just 10-15 minutes into the game. It seemed like I was just going through tasks and yet nothing was really happening. I strongly suggest TRIALING this game before buying. Don't repeat my mistake!
I don't recommend this game.

Elephant is usually one of my fave developers, but I have no idea what this game is about, and I'm 2/3 of the way through it. To understand this, maybe I need to smoke whatever the devs were smoking when they created this hot mess. At any rate, based on this, I do NOT recommend this game!

Every Domini Game feels exactly like the one before it, with a different storyline overlaid on it. This game is no exception. There is absolutely nothing fresh about any of their games anymore. The tasks are an assault on players' intelligence too. The good thing is that I'm not spending money on them.
I don't recommend this game.
