The game starts out decently enough, but it goes downhill quick. I realize this is a free-to-play game and they want you to spend money. But even with that thought in mind, the wait time between actions becomes longer and longer and the payoffs become less and less -- making the wait times even longer (unless you pay real money). Throw in a storyline that isn't very cohesive, and you've got a game that starts out with a decent bang but soon fizzles away.
Let me start out by saying that Match 3s usually aren't my cup of tea. In my experience, they tend to get boring and repetitious quickly, and one Match 3 game usually seems to be quite like another.
Having said that, I have run across a handful of Match 3s that manage to stand out from the crowd, and Floria is one of those. From the basic way the game is played to the obstacles you encounter, you have to really think in order to clear the board - especially in some of the higher levels. Three different game modes (relaxed, timed, and a specific number of moves you can use to clear the board) give it a lot of replay value.
Will this game be for everyone? No, no game is. But for those who enjoy brighter colors, lighter themes, and a different style of gameplay - this one is worth checking out.
Rescue a young girl from the Penumbra Motel. Solve puzzles, unravel a long standing mystery of death and disappearances in this heart-pounding adventure game!

I thought this was a decent game - nothing amazingly spectacular, but solid nonetheless. My biggest complaint was that the storyline wasn't fleshed out very well. I never got a clear grasp on what happened at the hotel beyond the basics of the family being murdered.Too many questions were left unanswered to suit my tastes. Also, I believe the phrase "the Great War" refers to WW1 not WW2 as the games seems to imply.
