Wow another great Shrouded Tales. Friendly Cactus did a great job with this trilogy of a series. It was so much fun to play and kept my attention the entire time. Mini games were fun and HOS were great. Storyline was amazing. It's so nice to have a story line instead of just disipating smoke and finding keys the entire game. I highly recommend.

This is a game from Friendly Cactus from 2015. If you can find the first one in the series, play it. BF does not carry it, but it's also a great game and a good intro to this one, although this one can be played without playing the first one. The game is long with a great bonus chapter. Lots of mini games and interesting HOS. I loved the way games used to be made and am playing all these older games. They don't get any better than this.
I recommend this game!

Another game I've had in my inventory for years. This is from 2011. Wow, what a great game. It took me days to play. It was a very long game with a great bonus chapter. Very challenging. There is a transportable map, but I didn't use it. There are so many locations to visit. This game is by Five BN and they almost always release great games. Give this one a try if you haven't. There are quite a few HOS as olde games seem to have more of those. Great puzzles. Great story line and excellent level of challenge.
I recommend this game!

What happened to this series? It started out really good, then tanked. I'm not understanding the glowing reviews for this. Maybe some have much lower standards than I do. I really don't like these games where you are trapped in 2 or 3 locations and must finish them before moving on. Do they think we will become confused if we can roam all over and have a full inventory? There is absolutely NO story line to this game at all. Just task after task. Where's the story? What is supposed to keep one engaged with the game? No. This probably deserves less than one star but that's not an option. There are great developers out there but unfortunately we are stuck with the same 2 over and over. This is a no buy for me and I do NOT recommend.
I don't recommend this game.

This is a game from Gunnar Games from 2012, but it is definitely worth playing. It has so much atmosphere to it. You fee you are right there in that post accident town. I don't think it's a long game but it took me a long time to play it. There's no map and the hint system just tells you there's nothing to do in that area. HOS were good and there weren't too many like there are in some older games. If you haven't tried this one, demo it. I found it to be excellent and wish they still made games like this.
I recommend this game!

This is one of the better Mystery Tracker games I have played. It's older but it had great visuals and everything was easy to see. Long game with lots to do. A good amount of HOS and puzzles. Definitely not a cookie cutter game. It had an actual story line I recommend it.

What a great long game this was. I've had it for years and just never played it. It took me days and it kept my interest. HOS were easy to see. Mini games were just challenging enough, meaning I was able to solve most of them. The bonus chapter was so good. This is a must play if you haven't played it yet. It's from 2015 so expect it to be very good with a great story behind it. Loved the collectible shamrocks and coins for the raven helper.

This is an old game (2012) that I guess I bought but never played. No HOS. Not a true adventure game but lots of fun. It was challenging. No map and you needed to refer to your journal. I love games like this. I wish developers still made nice challenging games that were different. This one checks all the boxes with me. If you haven't played it, give it a try. It was fun.
I don't recommend this game.

I'm not quite sure how to rate this game. Kudos to the employees for churning out a game in such difficult times in the Ukraine. This series has always been hit or miss with me. This one was a miss. I felt confused from the beginning. There were gaps in the story that were never filled in. Even in all the confession notes (ok, who does that?) left lying around. I was not a fan of the HOS or the puzzles. I have always liked the style of Grandma games with their collectibles and jigsaw pieces. It was just OK for me. At least it was NOT another Domini game. For that I'll celebrate !! I'd recommend the game after you try it out. It was very short and really didn't have a great ending.
I recommend this game!

Well we have another short Elephant game. Very short. So short that you'd better pay attention carefully before it's over. I did not like the graphics at all. The HOS were ridiculously easy as were the mini games. The story line was absurd and disjointed. The bonus game was about gnomes... I think. It made no sense to me. I would NOT recommend this game. Elephant... you should be ashamed putting out games of this standard. Personally, I'd be embarrassed.
I don't recommend this game.
