I only played the demo. Pretty easy, some intuitive, some not. It was cute but I felt it would be better suited to a younger audience. Not really challenging enough for older or more experienced players. Music was soothing, not too loud or obnoxious. Voices were ok, still a stolen child but not a scary game. A fairy tale in sort of a cartoon mode.
I recommend this game!

I play this type of game all the time. Rating only the demo. I didn't have any issues playing the game. All controls worked for me. Made it through several levels pretty quickly. No story line that I could see but a good game to kill the time during the day.
I recommend this game!

When I started the Demo I thought ok another game. I played the demo with the sound on, which I usually do not because it is annoying after awhile. I really liked this game. I read the reviews, some I agree with completely, some I agree with portions and some I don't understand at all. The music changes and is pleasant most of the time, it does change with the scenes or the event within the scene so it is not monotonous. However, I agree the game is somewhat easy on the challenge. I really liked the different take on the HOG's, I did have to use the map and I like the way the map doesn't directly lead you there but gives you hints/tasks. It is a fun and different game. At least try the demo first.
I recommend this game!

I tried the game before buying, thank you to those that made this suggestion. The challenge is ok but you have absolutely no idea what to do in each screen. You see pieces of items floating around but the little gold ball isn't always available. I clicked on the floating item, then the gold ball would show. The cursor is way too big for the items you are trying to find and I could not find a way to change it. Game is slow moving, not always intuitive on what you should be doing. Hint is very very slow to regenerate and very slow to point out what to do next. Another frustrating issue I found is some of the items you are trying to locate on hidden objects are off the side of your screen, very small and really close to and almost hidden by the Hint Dragon. This is not a buy for me. I really did try to like it.
I don't recommend this game.

Sable Maze: Forbidden Garden Collector's Edition
Your parents always told you to stay away from the mysterious maze behind their house…. and you’re about to find out why.
Fairy tale again. Ok game play and story line. First two "to do" items start with OH!, watched for that through the demo and did not see it but was more interested in the game. However, once I receive the Thank You for playing Demo, the screen locked up, locked my computer as well. Tried selecting different options, locked. Waited to see if I would unlock, nope, had to reboot.

I played only the demo so my rating is based on that. Music isn't loud and intrusive, same track over and over. The hint button sort of floats when used. You will understand better once you try. Challenge games are easy, instructions easy to follow. Story line, cut scenes are there but not long and there is a skip button. The only thing I noticed is I could not play full screen because some of the hidden items were off the side of the game screen. I did use the hint to find some items and found using the flashlight did help when looking for hidden items. This is a great game for beginners. Map included if you need to find out where you are and where possible action is needed.
I recommend this game!

Demon Hunter: Chronicles from Beyond - The Untold Story
Professor Ashmore, the same man who so kindly took you in and raised you as his own has been murdered. It’s up to you to find out why, but are you prepared for what truths may be uncovered?
I just tried the demo. Sloooww moving. Instructions for Puzzles not good. In one part you need to move rocks aside to find a puzzle part but if your pointer is on the rocks they don't move, you have to have your pointer off the rocks to the top or side to get them to move, not very good. In some HO's if you click directly on one of the items it won't work, you have to click slightly to the side of the item. Not a buy for me.
I don't recommend this game.

The Ultimate Easter Puzzler
Fabulous Easter-themed entertainment with over 100 beautiful springtime puzzles that the whole family will love!
This is a fun challenging game that will work great with children. You can select the difficulty level, the instructions are easy to understand. It has great color and graphics. The learning for young children, match, differences and puzzles are wonderful. As the child progresses, the levels of difficulty can be changed and the challenge of collecting points should inspire competition between siblings.
I recommend this game!

What a waste of money. Too Dark, No Instructions, Sad Sad Sad. I bought because it sounded good, my mistake. How anyone rated it 3 stars or more is beyond me.

Skeptical at first. I only played the demo but I really like the different HOG games. They are not the normal HOG's. You have the challenge of finding the object and using it to find another object and so on. This is a definite purchase for me. The graphics are good, clear pictures. You get credit on the mini games for figuring out how to play them without looking at the instructions first. On the achievements page you can answer questions for the game and get credit for the correct answers but don't worry, if you are wrong you can play again. I liked the challenge and to me it is a new way to play. Kept me interested in continuing and was disappointed when the trial was over.
