As a self-confessed Royal Romances fan, I couldn't get past this game and I have to say that it's worth every penny of the CE.
It again offers a varied story presented with fantastic graphics. The music is also great and adapted to the appropriate situations. There is no boredom and you are always curious to see how the next chapter will continue. You meet characters you already know from previous games and have plenty to do with defending yourself against opponents, using magic or solving the multitude of HOs and puzzles. So the best entertainment is offered.
I like the fact that I can switch to match 3 mode, but this is usually not necessary with the different and well-mixed HOs.
The hidden search objects and morph objects are easy to find. What annoys me about some games is that these objects are so small that they cannot be seen with the naked eye.
I'm just thrilled with this really unusually long game and have chosen it to be my new favorite game.
I recommend this game!

This time, Domini Games has brought out another great game. You've been desperate lately.
I love these paranormal based stories. Ghosts and monsters are my thing. And the scary factor is right too.
The story is told really exciting. The graphics are awsome and pretty dark, just fitting to the mood.
The bonus level tells a separate story that also kept me in suspense.
There is also a huge mix of HOs (e.g. search for highlighted terms from stories, assign image sections, search for objects by list). And the significant number of mini-games was quite challenging. I found some of them very tricky and I had a lot of work to do to solve them (at least most of them). Unfortunately, some of them weren't explained very well, so I didn't understand what to do. Despite the skip button, I couldn't understand how to solve the task.
The obligatory search objects were easy to find. I was also able to find all but one of the morph objects. Unfortunately, the scenes could no longer be visited after the end of the game to get all the objects.
Conclusion: A demanding game with a nice playing length (it took me almost 9 hours).
In my opinion, Domini Games rightly deserves 5 stars here.
I recommend this game!

... and there he is again. Our sailing hero is disturbed while lazing by a storm and washed ashore in a foreign land.
Attention: Our hero suddenly becomes Gulliver!
It's great fun to solve the individual tasks and to find the hidden "H" stones or to "blow up" a turtle or a goat. I'm a huge fan of this game series and I had to have the 15th part too.
And I haven't regretted it, I had a lot of fun.
I recommend this game!

what great games there are. FF has outdone itself once again!
You can expect the usual gorgeous graphics, great music, realistic actors and a great story that is apparently based on a Ukrainian legend. You always notice with the Dark City games that they think a lot about the plot and don't deliver a mishmash. I always find it amazing how much attention to detail the developers of the Dark City series put into building the stories. I also like it when dark city games convey cultural knowledge.
In this game you can puzzle, paint and calculate to your heart's content. The labyrinths are available as well as card games and spinning of the rings. Plus a lot more. I never got bored with a single puzzle. For my taste, there was a very well-balanced variety of puzzles, so that no wish was left unfulfilled.
The morph objects hidden in the scenes were sometimes difficult to find, the sunflowers easier to find.
My conclusion: Huge thanks to the developers for this really fantastic game. Unfortunately I only have 2 thumbs, otherwise I give 10!
I recommend this game!

I didn't think the game was as bad as the other reviews made it out to be.
If you like doing lots of tasks and looking for parts of required items to put them together, then you've come to the right place. In addition, the objects could always be found in close proximity, so that you didn't have to carry a huge amount of inventory around with you.
The plot of both the main game and the bonus game were understandable. The only thing that bothered me was the abrupt ending in both parts of the game. You could have put more effort into that. One moment you're still hiding from the enemy and then you find a treasure and that's it? No, not like that!
There is nothing to complain about the graphics, they are really fantastic. The actors looks natural and are very well animated.
I enjoyed the puzzles, although I struggled with some of them. The HOs were mostly to be found by list.
The hidden objects were usually easy to find, but could also be collected after the end of the game to put together a puzzle picture.
It took me 4.5 hours to play the game. I think that's a normal game length.
Conclusion: This wasn't Elephant's best game, they can do that much better.
I recommend this game!

The structure of the game corresponds to the predecessors, but that doesn't matter. It's always great fun to build the ever new water palaces. In addition, something new is built into every game. Here, in my opinion, it's the Pacifico puzzles. I didn't know them and I really liked them.
The additionally offered solitaire variants allow you to play only those that you like. In addition to the main levels, I love the slide and match-2 variants or mahjongg.
Suricate convinces with the unbelievable playing time compared to other providers.
Since there is no plot other than building palaces, what I like most is that I can pause the game whenever I'm less interested in solitaire and want to play something else.
I like that the game is suitable for all player levels. I always play in relaxed mode myself.
In any case, the price-performance ratio of these games can hardly be topped because many, many hours of fun are guaranteed.
I recommend this game!

I've just finished my trial and I really need to buy this game! The story has been extremely exciting so far, so I can't wait to see what happens next.
If you like cats and Egyptian mythologies, then you've come to the right place.
The graphics are just great and the actors - both people and animals (ghost cats and live cats) - very well animated. The
Music fits very well and underlines the gloomy mood.
I really liked the HOs because they came with interactions (not too difficult). I like that better than just searching for objects. The puzzles were easy to solve even for me as an advanced beginner and were fun.
Tip and card worked perfectly.
The obligatory objects (50x) and puzzle pieces (20) are hidden again. I was able to find all the parts hidden during the trial period relatively easily.
There were no disturbances and the flow of the game was very pleasant.
I recommend this game!

It is a typical time management game suitable for all player levels.
A small story shown in individual pictures is told.
In contrast to e.g. Hercules or Dracula games, which always come with a little wink and funny situations, the spark didn't really jump over here for me.
I liked that additional animal figures were hidden in the pictures. When you have collected all of them, you get puzzle pieces that you can use to put together a picture.
Collecting the color palettes that appeared sporadically was a bit more annoying. Since these are only shown for 1-2 seconds, it's quite tiring to get the amount you need. The individual scenes are visually overloaded, which is why the very short palettes are difficult to make out. And then you have to click on them very quickly...
I could have done without that because it causes some stress in an otherwise leisurely game.
I recommend this game!

Yes, in this romance, lovingly animated by Friendly Fox, you must actually connect with the god of practical jokes in order to free your transformed lover and Loki's sweetheart from a curse and prevent the destruction of the world. Even chief god Odin should not be missing, who will give you a helping hand.
It's always amazing what new stories FF tells, which are then presented with grandiose graphics and suitably animated characters.
The not too difficult HOs and puzzles were mixed well and didn't overload the game, so that there was a nice flow of the game. I liked the puzzles with interactions best. Each puzzle or HO was different, so there was a wonderful variety here too and it didn't get boring.
Animals were also hidden in the individual scenes, which were easy to find. The morph objects, on the other hand, were sometimes hard to discover. Sometimes it was pure coincidence that you found them.
In the bonus part, a separate story is told, which takes place 25 years later. To make it more believable, the actors (after all, no gods except for Loki) should have aged a bit. The bonus part is quite short and doesn't justify the price of a CE in my opinion.
With (for me) almost 6 hours including the bonus part, the game has a nice length overall.
Conclusion: Finally a game without glitches. A wonderful game for people with a sense of romance.
I recommend this game!

I love the Cursed House series and that's why I bought this one.
As I noticed, the difficulty level was increased again. There are already some pretty difficult levels, which I had to nibble on quite a bit.
I liked that there are cutscenes with solitaire and hidden objects again. It's a nice change in between.
All in all, I can't complain at all about this 12th part. The game challenged me a lot, but it was also a lot of fun.
I recommend this game!
