I was on the limb whether to give this game 5 stars or 4, but after consideration, I settled on 4. Visually, the game was great. Some of the mini games and puzzles however were pretty ridiculous, not in their executions and originality but their requirements to complete. If you're into going for the 'Expert' level of playing, good luck. For example, there's a challenge where you have to find '50' skulls in a painting. That's right, '50' of them and some of them hardly looking like a skull. There were other similar challenges that I got so tired of looking and clicking, I had to opt for a lower challenge level and click the 'Hint' button and when it showed where the object is. I don't like having to do that just because I'm sick of glaring around an image for 15 minutes just to move on. 50's a bit much I feel. Some of the mini games and puzzles were equally frustrating in their own right, made way too complicated with vague instructions. I've played over 125 hos and this one gave me more trouble than most. I don't mind a challenge, as long as it's presented fairly. Some of these are way over-done, and put way too big a pause in the story line. It's like watching a show on television and suddenly having to sit through 10 commercials. It ruins the flow and mood of the story. There is the 'Skip' and 'Hint' functions, as well as a guide, so completing is guaranteed, I just hate having to use them and not due to my personal limitations. I'm a big fan of this development team and still recommend it.

For the price, you can't beat this new match-3 game. It's a lot of game for the money. The objects are big, the graphics and sounds are perfect, and the difficulty can be adjusted from invincible to challenging with a wonderful variety of moves and combinations. The game is smooth running & action-filled with very active and large visuals. It's easy on the eyes as well with the large themed graphics. I love it, big thumbs up! It has a slight retro-feel to it with the action and sound but with modern graphics.
I recommend this game!
Find hidden objects, complete fun tasks and solve exciting puzzles to save a dazzling and enigmatic island.

I'm new to this game and its predecessor. The number of mini games and puzzles delighted me. Many were boringly simple while others put up a good battle. The vague explanations irritated me at times as I'm one who tries to never skip, yet one was so confusing I had no choice. The music was nice, relaxing though fairly repetitive and the character voices were very muffled. I couldn't understand them enough to follow the story. All in all, I personally recommend this game if you like unique mini games / puzzles which they big-time abound in this game. Navigation was kind'of a pain also I might add.
You've come upon a land of such beauty, but the surrounding areas are barren. Match your way through nature and restore this beautiful kingdom!

This gorgeous, relaxing, and non-stress inducing game is exactly what my soul and spirit needed once completing a massive western game full of death, gunfights and tragedy. The developers of this 'Jewel Match' game series are master crafters. Relax to the ambient sights and sounds of nature, create your own paradise and play a fun, stress-free game along the way. The challenge level can be adjusted from timed, counted, to neither, the latter requiring no chance of failure. I chose the counted difficulty to give myself a little challenge but isn't rushed and so far have yet to use any of my lives. Peace and love, who can deny suck pleasures? A great game for our personal zens.

The little interactive things that change when I click it, but have no roles in the story, is a wonderful enhancement that I think other developers should implement more in their games. Even on hardest setting the puzzles were a breeze, sometimes giving clues when I didn't want them, though that's just a personal preference and doesn't demean this fun adventure that shouldn't be missed.
I recommend this game!

I know there are a ton of reviews already, but I just wanted to say how fun and refreshing this game is. There are so many hidden object games that are released, it's hard to get one that has unique qualities to it. This game is one. It's not a difficult game, even on expert mode, and I do like a challenge, however, the difference and originality of the puzzles and mini-games, combined with very colorful graphics and subtle ambient music, makes this game one of my highest recommended purchases ever.
I recommend this game!

This game was so much fun. Even on 'difficult' level it still was pretty easy and some of the puzzles were almost too easy to solve. That however didn't distract from the game but kept the story moving at a perfect speed. This is definitely one to check out if you haven't already.
I recommend this game!

I like the mini games and puzzles in this one. Most were quite easy to beat, even on 'Hard' mode, some not quite so. All however kept the pace of the main story going without detaining me for very long, or needing to use the 'Skip' function. Two of the challenges are my personal favorites, and it's those where there's a control panel and I have to solve various puzzles on it, in various sequences, to succeed. There were a couple of glitches in the game, at least on my home pc running Windows 10. One mini game became black except for the items to find (which made it a snap to complete however) and a part of the story involving a double-candle stick and the need to put candles on top and which moved me to another room each time I did. There's a certain spot where it worked and took me a few tries to find it. These two issues weren't severe enough where the game became unplayable or not enjoyable. It's definitely one to play and full of extras to do beyond the main story.

I've been playing this game for a week now, and still am. My only gripe is the program's difficulty arrangement. It's gotten to where identical values constantly pop up on the talon, diminishing my stack and chances. It's like someone bought a new deck of cards and suddenly forgot how to shuffle. I understand the challenges should increase further in and you can use your collected coins to upgrade things and better your chances, but it's just the repetition of the playable values that's annoying to me.

This game has many similarities to the Luxor series, with enough differences to make it fresh and legal. It's a fun version of that premise with a really cool, almost steam-punkish atmosphere.
I recommend this game!
