This! This is what it feels like to love a game. I remember now. I am SO HAPPY with this game.
Lost Amulets is one of my all-time favorite series. I love the gameplay of "these tiles at the bottom, find all the ones that match on top" and I love finding all 5 or 7 of them and getting enormous combos and I especially love the option to do ALL NUMBER TILES ALL THE TIME, particularly now that I am so much older than I was when Liong was released and I can't see so well.
Thank you to the developer and to this game, for existing. It inspired me to just abandon and uninstall the last couple games I bought, which I'd been making myself play because they cost money. I don't know why I did that to myself. Lost Amulets: Four Guardians made my life so much better. I can't wait to go play it some more after work. LOVE THIS SERIES everyone go try the earlier ones too, if you haven't!
I recommend this game!
Find clues, interrogate suspects, complete solitaire puzzles and find hidden clues to solve a murder mystery!

I love the previous games in the series, so when I saw this one in Tomorrow's Game Today I immediately REJOINED GAME CLUB just so I could buy it right that minute.
Well! Turns out I'm a goober, because the things I love so much are gone and this game feels kind of like work. I made it through 2 or 3 hours of gameplay and it was all up/down with none of the variety I liked.
Plenty of other reviewers have mentioned the mandatory mahjong and the junkpile "hidden" objects. I could have dealt with those if the main solitaire gameplay was like the previous games.
I am finally abandoning the game without finishing after making myself play it too long already. Again, the other games in the series are GREAT and everyone should at least try them. I learned a valuable lesson: always, ALWAYS, play the free trial no matter what! :D
I don't recommend this game.

Did you love Huntsville and Prime Suspects?
Do you have happy memories of Ravenhearst?
Was Madame Fate (2007) the last MCF that you were really, really, really in love with??
WELL, HAVE I GOT NEWS FOR YOU! MCF Hotel Victory has the original type of MCF gameplay! It's awesome!! I love it and I'm SO happy!!!
In this game, you choose scenes from a page and go find the things in the scenes. There are door puzzles at the end of each chapter. There are morphing objects in the scenes. There is an occasional "assemble a picture" type puzzle.
I played the entire demo and never once had to do any HOPA type things (fixing clocks, dealing with animal companions, etc).
Some MCF fans will be unhappy with this game. Some people who don't know MCF and just wandered in will probably be unhappy with it. There will be comments like "What is this, 2004?!"
That is okay! Let them be unhappy. I think there are enough people like me out there who will just be DELIGHTED to get an old-school MCF game to play. This is an Eipix game, but in my opinion they absolutely nailed the feel of the older games.
Anyway, try it! It's free.
I recommend this game!
Visit the ancient and powerful city of Istanbul, ever-steeped in history, in the latest chapter of the hit classic hidden object series.

Big City Adventure is always an instant buy for me. Old school HOG with assorted minigames that are easy and fun instead of making me want to pull my hair out.
And I love the storylines: "We're on vacation! Let's go look at stuff and learn interesting trivia! The end."
Ok, this is more of a review of the series. Just buy them all! I did! :D
