It was an OK game, story was OK, moved along OK.
I knocked off 1/2 a star because I collected all of the match 3 power ups thinking I could play after the bonus, but no. I collected for nothing as you can not replay games, HOPS or match 3's. I guess my only choice is to play again and do only match 3's instead of HOPS.
I knocked a full star off because a lot of the games are moving puzzle pieces around randomly trying to complete a picture. If you don't use the guide you have no idea what you are trying to accomplish. A lot of the other games were really easy and required no thought process what so ever.
Not a bad game, I like this developer. I thought the graphics, music and map where well done.
As always, I recommend you try the demo and decide for yourself.
I recommend this game!

No a bad game, good length. The bonus game was kind of short. There is no ability to go back and get missed collectables and the achievements are not many.
I thought this was a new developer for me, but it turns out I already have most of their other games which are SE's and from reading the reviews, I and others think that they are CE quality.
Nothing really new here, I've seen all of the mini games before, the HOPS were fun and the story moved along OK.
I would probably wait for the SE to see what it had to offer before purchasing another CE from this developer.
Play and judge for yourself!
I recommend this game!

I really liked the game! I will let the other senior reviewers give the details. I will just add my thoughts.
I liked the game play. I liked the HOPS and the games were fun.
I gave it four stars because there were no collectables in the bonus game and I really hate that! It was quite easy as I did not need the guide, skip or hint to get all of the achievements the first time through. It also seemed a rather short game, especially the bonus game.
That said, it was nice to be able to accomplish all achievements the first time through!
A nice addition to the series which is one of my favorites. I can see myself playing again.
Try it yourself and decide. Happy Gaming Fishies!
I recommend this game!

I will let the excellent reviewers give you the details, I am giving it four stars for a few of reasons:
1. No collectables in the Bonus Game.
2. No ability to go back and get anything you missed.
3. No Achievements.
4. There is really nothing really to do with what you collect.
Not a bad game, It had some new twists to familiar games and HOPS.
As usual, I recommend you play the demo and decide for yourself! Happy Gaming!
I recommend this game!

I will leave all of the details to the other reviewers. I just want to add my personal thoughts.
This was a pretty good game, kind of stingy on the really easy collectables.
The good: Graphics, interactive map, collectables that are also in the first bonus game. Pretty creepy, psychological thriller with super natural phenomenon.
The second bonus chapter is more of a game than a chapter, but was a nice touch.
It had some new games and HOS that kept my interest.
The not so good: Really easy and sparse collectables, another evil asylum story that was really quite easy for me. Lots of running back and forth with black screen in between.
The SE would probably work just fine for me.
Play the demo and decide for yourself.
Happy Gaming!
I recommend this game!

I'm not sure why all of the 5 star ratings. The game was OK, but not spectacular. This is one of my favorite developers and I was a little disappointed.
The games were nothing new, there were no collectables in the bonus game (I really hate that) and the HOS were all the same interactive shadows that I got really bored with at the end. I like when they mix them up a bit.
I does have a decent story, map and collectables, but if you've played any of their other games you've already played this one.
I played on the normal setting and didn't need to use the guide, hint or skip options. This tells me it is really easy as I am usually not that good!
The demo is at least worth a try to judge for yourself.
Happy Gaming!
I recommend this game!

Really disappointed in this game. 20 minutes after the demo ended I didn't want to play anymore. I had to force myself because I spent 7 dollars on the game!
What they call morph's in this game are a joke and I stopped looking after about 8 as they were so unimportant and almost impossible to find, even with the guide.
Wait for the SE, there is nothing here to justify spending more. Sure it has wallpapers, artwork and music etc. none of it is worth going back to. I would also only recommend this game as an SE while using a free coupon.
The map wasn't extremely helpful, in the middle of the game it was very difficult to tell what colors were showing.
What was the treasure?????
Not a horrid game, but it was dark and blurry, filled with junk piles that didn't have a lot to do with the theme.
It is a science competition, but I'm I the swamp using an old saw mill and them I'm on an old steam train. They tried some science, but it really fell flat and was quite uninteresting.
I like other games by this developer, but in my opinion this one was just a waste of money, time and effort.
I don't recommend this game.

I kindly gave it 2 stars because I liked the HOS. The cannon in particula was fun. They were a bit different and well thought out. Not easy! Some didn't make all that much sense either.
The puzzles were a bunch of endless random movements of 15 pieces 100 times. I especially loathed the family tree.
The game started out OK, but after the demo got really vague and what you used with each other didn't make a whole lot of sense.
Good thing the map shows you when you are done with an area because it doesn't show when you still have something to do where you are at.
The collectable pearls are confusing, I was able to get them all, but I couldn't fathom how I ended up with the number I did. What you do to complete them is mediocre at best.
Lots of inventory items at once. Luckily it is locking. I think I had over 20 a couple of times. I don't normally mind this, it just seemed to make this game more confusing.
I can't remember when was the last time I had to use so many hints and skips because things didn't make sense. I really just couldn't wait for the game to be over.
Sorry, I just don't like this game. I have played others in the series, and liked them. This one is just confusing to me.
Did I tell you that a lot of things just really didn't make sense?
This is the first game EVER I am not recommending you judge for yourself. I like these developers, but I have never seen such a hot mess for a new CE.
I don't recommend this game.

I thought this was a pretty hard game.
The morph's were so challenging in some scenes that it would be almost impossible to achieve all 20 without the guide. Sometimes there's none, sometimes there's one, sometimes there's more. I got them all, and it was not easy, even with numerous guide checks.
Surprisingly enough I also thought the HOPS were really hard! Well done, but I found a lot of items blended in so well they were unfindable. This is the first game in a long time I have had to use the guide or hint for a HOP!
In contrast the mini-games seemed super easy at first, but then got extremely difficult. A lot of the games are random push this button, make two others move and try to get all the buttons in the right place. Even with the guide, sometimes I couldn't figure it out. I got quite tedious and I ending up skipping a few.
The collectable coins are also very well hidden in most cases, I happened to run into a couple after a bunch of random clicking's and I missed a few. Not really a problem as I didn't want to buy anything in the gift shop anyway.
All in all I will recommend this game with sme reservations...
Beginners will be frustrated really fast!
Old timers will be OK if you don't mind checking the guide endlessly and doing a whole lot of random clicking for coins and objectives.
The story was OK, graphics are OK, if you have a free credit to burn or there is a great CE sale, It might be your cup of tea, try it and see.
.
I recommend this game!

I really enjoyed this fairly easy, fantasy game.
the puzzles were varied, some I have seen and some I have not. They were all fairly simple to figure out, but fun and a bit challenging at times.
I thought the graphics and voice overs were very well done. The scenery and locations are pure fantasy and some are quite stunning.
A great game if you're a beginner or just looking for a nice easy going, simple game that has some good graphics, decent story, mythical creatures and some challenging collectables.
The only thing I didn't like about the game is the inability to go back and get that darn dragon fly I missed!
I will definitely replay this game again on a rainy afternoon. I need to get that dragon fly!
As always, play at least the demo and decide for yourself!
I recommend this game!
