Standard good solid game with nice graphics. There are varied hidden objects and mini-puzzles. There is a lot of back and forth but you can hit the hint button and be transported.
If you like a lot of mini-puzzles this game is for you. They are varied and I thought fairly easy to understand. As an archaeologist you have a tool kit with a hatchet, brush and book to decipher the symbols that appear quite often. There are hidden objects to find, but the main emphasis is on the story and the puzzles.
The graphics were excellent. I enjoyed the mini-puzzles (some were rather hard) and, of course the hidden objects had good variety. I would have given it 5 stars but for all the back and forth, although the hint key does let you transport. I wish the developers would make the game in a more linear fashion. I did like the maze with the stone dog.
I disagree with some of the other reviewers. It was fun to use the Alchemy and develop potions to move the story along. The match 3 part of this did get tiresome, but it was only one part of the game. The hidden objects and mini-games were good. I thought the graphics were fine. It was also a long SE game with a "strategy guide" which went to the walk-throughs if you needed help.
I totally agree with all the other comments on this game -- it is fun from beginning to end. I would add that I really liked the variety of mini-games (some very familiar but enjoyable) and the hidden objects where you find an item use it to find another one, etc.
I agree that the graphics are excellent, the hidden objects are pretty standard and the puzzles are fine. However, although I have played all in this series, I am getting a little tired of Dad. I think it is time for him to go. Also, I thought the game ended abruptly.
I actually beta tested this game and wasn't too keen on it, BUT I had a free coupon so I tried the SE version. Well, it was totally worth it! This is a long game with 28 locations that you frequently go back to. You have all the standard things -- note book, map and hint key. There are four types of play -- I usually choose Custom; the hidden objects are good but you have more mini-games, some of which are quite challenging.
Played all Claws and Feathers and this one is a real challenge. Starts out easy but the hard ones are coming. It is fun to be able to do them over and over to get the gold.
This is a long and involved SE game. You and your friend get trapped in a game and visit each world. Charles has developed the game to keep his son alive at great cost. The graphics are very good. The hidden objects vary; there are some interesting twists in the mini-puzzles. For example, the last puzzle is a familiar one match color square to color square but with added pipes to turn correctly.
Yes, it is a short game (or seems that way as it goes fast), BUT the graphics are good and the mini puzzles are not too hard. The hidden objects are pretty standard.
