I really enjoyed this game and have played it twice through so far. I have found the later iterations of the Monument Builders games too difficult to achieve three stars on higher levels. I like a bit of challenge in a game as it goes along, but I mainly play for relaxation and fun, and when a game becomes unwinnable at a certain point, I just get frustrated and mad. Lucky Luke is Monument Builders at its best - fun, cute storyline (although I was a bit confused by it; apparently there's some French comic book it's based on?), and the game is fairly winnable with some effort in the higher levels. It does get more difficult as it goes along, and I did play a few levels multiple times to get three stars, and there are a couple of levels that I've just given up on getting three stars after multiple tries - but unlike the later Monument Builders games, I didn't get angry or frustrated - I feel like, if I really wanted to put in more effort and more tries, I could get those last two levels up to three stars. There are bonus rounds as well, which gives a nice goal to working through the levels. All in all, for me, Lucky Luke is Monument Builders like it used to be - fun, relaxing, immersive, and not so challenging that you want to throw a rock at it. :-)
I recommend this game!
Help Joe and Tom repair an old barn and prepare for the harsh winter in Barn Yarn, a unique mix of Hidden Object and simulation!

I am not a fan of Hidden Object Games, but I love Barn Yarn. I've replayed it several times, in fact. The graphics are gorgeous, as are the characters. I actually enjoy spending time with them, as weird as that sounds. The level of challenge is perfect for me (since I don't like HOGs, so I don't want it to be too hard - but that doesn't mean I want it to be too easy, either). The story is fun, the challenges are fun, and it's really fun decorating the barn and the farm. As a rule, I don't replay games, but there are a few exceptions. I was surprised that Barn Yarn was one of those exceptions. Very fun game.
I recommend this game!
Follow a romantic story, explore barbarian lands, win recognition, and achieve success in Roads of Rome, a fun Time Management game!

I love time management games, but since I am looking for escapism, I don't like ones that are almost impossible to get "Expert" on because I'm not looking for my game to just add more stress to my life! I love Roads of Rome because, like Goldilocks said, "it's just right." The characters are cute, you can reach expert after playing harder levels a few times to figure out the best way to do so, and the levels are long enough to provide a nice challenge without causing me to break into a stressed-out sweat. I was thrilled when Roads of Rome 2 came out - I just finished playing it as well. :-)
I recommend this game!
