I agree with the previous review, this game is really nothing new. I want to add a sidenote to ALL game developers. The audience for this type of game is for the most part, getting older and as an older group. our eyesight isn't what it used to be. Tiny, miniscule items hidden in dark corners are getting more and more common in the games. This is getting old. When a game is more frustrating to play than fun, it's time to switch to new developers' games.
This game came up as a Daily Special and I'm surprised I hadn't noticed it before now (nor do I remember playing the demo) as I've been a member for many years. Well, I grabbed it for $3 and started right in on it. It's a little difficult at times to figure out what to do next, as there's so much to do, but with the help of a good walkthrough found online I got hints where necessary (not often). All I can say is I'm amazed at the depth of the story, the development of the characters and the fullness of this game. It delivered much more than any collector's addition adventure game I've ever played. I'd love to see more like this!
First off, this isn't a hidden object game. Secondly, there is a fatal flaw in the very beginning. And finally, BF has very few new games worth the time or money these days. I have posted on their FB page, only to have my comments deleted by them. Big Fish, if you don't like criticism, get your act together and post games worthy of people's regard. The question below is Do I recommend this game? Heck, I don't even recommend Big Fish anymore since the takeover.
I love this developer and have loved every game in this series. I especially love that the map shows the location of bonus items. However, while playing this demo, I was unable to get the "page" bonus item in the winter garden. The map shows it's there, and the guide points to the location at the bottom of the steps. Yes, I resorted to the guide after wracking my brain to find it. I believe I can see it there, but am unable to click on it.
