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?
The Professor that loved and raised you is murdered and you must go back home and find the culprit!
I was a bit surprised by this game. Given that it came out in 2014, I wasn't expecting a whole lot, but this game was loaded with goodies. It had morphing hidden object scenes, collectibles in every room and a bonus chapter in which you're in a coma and reliving your worst fears. It also has a map you can teleport with and skips and hints. Good stuff!
I recommend this game!

4 Elements II
Set the fairies of earth, air, fire and water free, and restore the book of magic!
This game was tougher than the first, but no worries because you can play in UNTIMED MODE!!!
This game is much the same as the first...and I LOVED the first one! You help 4 fairies bring the 4 elements (earth, fire, wind and water) back into the world by moving the elemental liquid through jewels, ice, pipes, blocks and more. There's also a few hidden objects scenes thrown in. This game is satisfying and addictive and you'll want to save it to play again later.
I recommend this game!

Mountain Crime: Requital
Someone is killing the guests at a mountain resort, and you could be next if you don't figure out the mystery and solve a Mountain Crime!
I remember loving this game when it came out back in 2011 and I still enjoy playing it!
A doctor is summoned to a hotel where unfortunately all the guests are dropping like flies and a sad mystery slowly unfolds. Because this is an older game, there's no interactive map or customizable settings, but there are endless hints and skips for the mini-games and a map to check where you need to go next.
I recommend this game!

Redemption Cemetery: Bitter Frost
Stop the bitter Spirit of Cold from killing your ancestors!
I was happy to find this little gem around holiday time. Who knew Redemption Cemetery did Christmas games?
The synopsis is that a woman was scorned by one of your ancestors and she's trying to wipe out your family's entire existence! I love the holiday theme meets spooky graveyard vibe, along with the Native American lore that was intertwined. The puzzles were plentiful and lots of fun, too. The map was a little iffy, so I just navigated manually.
I recommend this game!

Bubble Xmas
A deceptively simple Puzzle-Shooter that demands a suprisingly increasing degree of strategy.
Okay...this game won't win any awards, but in my opinion the reviews made it out to be a lot worse than it actually was. Try and demo it, at least.
It's just a typical bubble shooter game with several customizable (lovely) bubbles, a Christmas background and falling snow to make it feel festive. People were complaining mostly about being unable to control it but I had no problems with that at all. If you go to options and turn off the sensitivity gun, you should have no problems either. In classic mode, which was my favorite, you're gradually given helpers as you level up like aimers and bombs. Eventually it became too difficult and my board froze and the game ended, but I was really having fun up to that point.
Mother Goose has been kidnapped by Old King Cole and it's up to you and your nursery rhyme friends (Humpty Dumpty, Three blind mice, Jack and Jill, Little Boy Blue, etc.) to find her and save Christmas!
I really enjoyed this game. It's the 2nd installment in the Christmas Spirit series and in my opinion a great improvement over the last (Oz was a bit dark for my taste). The puzzles were fun and challenging and the Christmas graphics were gorgeous! My favorite game was the cake baking, which I've never seen in a Hidden Object game before.
I recommend this game!

Amazing Gift
Dip into a world of puzzle delights, treasures and adventures in this unique take on classic matching games!
I'm confused as to why this game was reviewed so badly...I absolutely loved it!
It's a match-3 game where you match pretty items to release enough gold bars which slowly open presents. There are 9 presents in all, each very beautiful, and now and again you learn fun facts about gift giving. You also earn trophies. You can play timed or untimed plus they have an additional puzzle game. I played timed adventure all the way to the end and had no issues. You will accumulate 8 different items to help you through (hammers, bombs, dynamite, etc.) and by the end of the game I still had tons of helper items left over. I especially loved the hissing sound when you melted the ice!
As much as I love my Christmas Stories, it's good to have other options out there. The Wicked Witch is back and she's stolen all of the christmas presents in Oz!
To me it makes sense to try a Wizard of Oz holiday theme given that they televise that movie every year at Christmas time. This one was pretty lengthy and loaded with puzzles, which you could play on "hard" or "easy" or just skip them entirely. The HO puzzles were fun, as well.
I could only give it four stars, unfortunately, because the story seemed to meander a bit and the acting was a bit off balance. Otherwise, it was a fun game that will get you in a Christmas mood!
I was hesitant about buying this game because of the low reviews but I'm glad I didn't listen. It was on par with the other Christmas Stories games with the gorgeous graphics, fun mini-games and lessons learned.
A conductor aboard the Enchanted Express has you walk through three stories (including your own) in order to help people as well as your brother whom he's turned into a mouse...actually, a very cute little mouse that helps you get things that are out of reach. The conductor was a nutter but in the end everything worked out right and the children were reunited with their families.
The beauty of this game is in its simplicity. You find the correct ingredients through process of elimination with the clues you're given. Once you've completed a board, your earned ingredients allow you to unlock potions.
I've been looking for games similar to this since playing Inspector Parker about 15 years ago. I'm not a fan of lots of dialogue, so for me this was an improvement. I also enjoy that you have unlimited hints and time to complete the boards, so I found it to be more relaxing.
