I haven't finished the game yet but I want to add my recommendation. As another reviewer has given you all the details, I just want to say that they are right on. The puzzles are great and so are the hidden objects -- very clever. This developer does not disappoint!
I have played all Spellarium games and this one is the best. It has some challenges that were not present in the other games. You also have one-up one-down solitaire, matching pictures, and mahjong.
The story is the people have been turned into animals and are going to be sacrificed to the volcano. The hidden objects are pretty standard lists and the mini-puzzles are not that hard. However, the glasses and the matching get rather tiresome. Always try to see if it is for you.
Fun game to travel to the past and right the wrongs for the museum robberies. Dear old Dad is once again helping but he isn't too bad this time. The graphics are very well done and the mini-puzzles are pretty easy.
There is a lot to do in this game. As the mage you gather different elements and make spells that you can use against the Abomination. The hidden objects are lists and interactive.

I guess I am one of a few, but I like these games. Have played all of them that I can find. Yes, they are all similar but it is fun for me. Always try to see if you like the game.
I beta tested this game and could not wait until the SE came out. It has a good story line, typical hidden objects and some really good puzzles. However, I was disappointed in the fact that there was a lot of back and forth in the game.
