Match 3's is my fav of games, so I was glad to see a new one.But,I found this rather boring. You don't build anything and there's no break to do something else between levels. You can play relaxed or limited moves. I play relaxed, I don't like or buy a game that has limited moves only. One thing it had that was different; you can click on a token and it will change to another one. That was cool. But I was disappointed; it's a no buy for me.

I have all the Queen's Garden games and I was glad to see they did a Christmas one. I was disappointed, however. First of all I didn't like the pathways look. Not attractive at all, imo. And being as how it's a Christmas game I thought sure the Christmas trees and lamps would sparkle as the Halloween things did. Why sell lamps/lights if you can't make the scene night-time?? I thought some of the Christmas things didn't really look like Christmas. As for the music, I was expecting Christmas tunes. That didn't happen and I don't like the music they chose so I turned it off. I did like the gameplay tokens, and I liked that the Santa sleigh didn't disappear when hit with a bomb or whatever, as the birds in the other games did. I also think there's a bit too much snow on the garden plants etc, because it was hard to make out what the flowers, etc looked like. So, with all this, why did I buy the game? But I did and I'm working on a second garden. I like this Christmas one, but I think it could have been much better if it had a nighttime and colored lights on the Christmas trees and more Christmas things to use. That would make such a pretty scene.
Once again I keep waiting for a good match 3, and this isn't it. It has cute graphics, but it's a no buy for me because you have no choices of the game play. It's all limited moves. I've been playing a good Halloween game that I bought last yr. (Queen's Garden Halloween) but this game doesn't begin to be as good. What a disappointment.
I love this game. I played the demo a couple of months ago, or so, and I was waiting on it to come out. I was very pleased to see it's now out. Imo, this game rocks. Everything about it does. I will say, though, that some of the mini games were old hat, but the rest of the game made up for that. Personally I'd like to see more jigsaw puzzles, coloring, etc. instead of the same old mini games. I've seen them in a few games I've played, and I'd like to see more.The art work is awesome, and the animations are, too. Great story line, and it's amazing how realistic they made the people look, talk, and walki. When a game has people that talk to one another and to me, too, I feel more connected in the game. Some of the other comments went into detail about this game, so I won't do that. (collectibles, morphing, etc) I will no doubt play this game more than once. It's outstanding.

I played the beta game for this some months ago and I've been waiting on it to come out. Lots of new things to do in this game, plus collectibles and morphing objects. I had trouble finding all the jewel figurines, and I missed a few of them. You do get a couple of gadget but I like those in games. You have characters that talk to you, which I also like that feature. Makes one feel more 'in the game'. The art work is awesome, and the sound effects are good, too. So far there are many HO's scenes, but if you like you can switch over to Match 3. Some of the mini games are new, so far. Now I'm going to buy it, and get back to it. Good game!

I've always liked this series and own most of them. I even bought this one even though I have issues with it. So I may not buy the next one. The problem, as I see it, is that the game consists of the same things the others do, just a different scenery. Nothing new. Find something flat to open a screw, make some medicine to heal someone, find a key to open a door, or chest...etc...on it goes. As for mini games, why do these HOG even have them?? They're always the same, and that's boring. I like this particular series, but I'm tired of all the ' sameness'. That applies to a lot of the HOG these days. Developers, please give us something new!
We don't get as many match 3 's that we used to. I miss that since next to hidden object games I like match 3's the best.This one just doesn't fit the bill for me. Not that it's a bad game, it isn't. The game play seemed a little confusing, but it has a help button, so that worked out ok. There's several ways to play it, time limit, limited moves, and relaxed. I like kicking back to play games, so I only use relaxed mode. I guess I'm spoiled, having many match 3 games that are awesome. Queen's Garden 2, which also has one for a Halloween and Christmas garden ,plus a Japanese garden, Jewel Match Royale, Jewel Match Rise of the KIng, Farmscape, Silver Tale,(this one has limited moves but you can play with extra moves), to name a few. I keep hoping for match 3's that are equal to these. :-(

I usually read the comments before trying a game. I could have saved myself from downloading this game. I keep waiting for a really good match 3 game and this isn't it. I never buy games that give you no choice on how to play. This one has limited moves only. And you don't build anything. Rather boring imo. I'm still playing match 3's that I already own, and I really miss getting another good one. Like Farmscapes, Match 3 Royale, Silver Tale. Silver Tale has limited moves but you can play relaxed and you get more than enough moves. I have many good match 3 games but I'd sure welcome some new ones.
I played this for about 20 mins but didn't like it because it's all limited moves. You have no choice in the matter. Too bad. I've been waiting for match 3 games but I'm spoiled. I like the ones that you can choose how you want to play. Limited moves, and timed, are not for me.

This game is so much fun! I bought it as soon as the demo was over. The art work is great, the HO's are plentiful, and the mini games are different from the usual. If you like fantasy games you'll really enjoy this one. I haven't played the first one, but I'm going to check it out. I hope it's as much fun as this one.
