I really wanted to like this game. It's challenging, it's interesting and it's not the usual cookie-cutter game we've become accustomed to. I also very much like gore!
Unfortunately, I just wasn't up to the challenge. Even with multiple walkthroughs, I just kept hitting dead ends. I don't regret playing it, I just wish I had the brain power to complete it!

This is a good little match-3 game, but it went on a bit too long for my taste.
There are 10 maps to play, and I made it through 5 of them before I decided to call it quits. In particular, I didn't like having to constantly click to get jewels in the cavern to make the special bombs, etc. Not bad for a 12 year old game, though!

We know the story of Queen Sophia...but what of her origins? Play this exciting game to learn more about it!
First of all, thank you to Big Fish Games for giving us this game for free during the long quarantine lockdown. I really enjoyed it! The puzzles were challenging and the story interesting. My only disappointment was in finding the hidden fairies. I collected only 45 out of 46. Just a head's up, you will need to click the fairy IMMEDIATELY in the very last scene of the regular game! If you allow the cut scene to play out, you will lose your chance to get it.
I recommend this game!

Sophia needs to mend fences between the centaurs and dwarves so that she can finally awaken her parents!
I really enjoyed this game! The art was a bit old school but the mini-games and challenges made up for it. I loved the handy little dragon that was available to set anything on fire! It was a nice, long game with a satisfying ending. Just be sure to use the map, it's quite a big world!
I recommend this game!

You awaken in a castle to discover you're a princess in a world of goblins and fairies!
This game is 13 years old as of my writing this review, but it's still held up as a great game! It's the first in the Awakening series and sets the stage for Princess Sophia. You basically wander around the castle (unfortunately, without a map) collecting runes and playing games as you work towards releasing the goblins. They've been waiting for you to wake up for 100 years, after all! The hidden object scenes were tough to see but the loads of fun puzzles make up for it. Afterwards, you can play several levels of "Goblinjong" to learn some secrets about your magical world.
I recommend this game!

Complete 138 levels of Christmas mahjong and build your Christmas village!
I really enjoyed this game and was able to complete the levels and the village without any problems. I recommend spending your coins on shuffle so that you don't have to keep starting all over. I actually like that it zoomed in because it made it easier for me to see the tiles. Also, if you don't like the music you have the option to mute it. I could only give it 4 stars though because every time I left the game to go attend to something it was frozen when I came back and I had to restart it numerous times. Even with that, I still enjoyed playing it!
I recommend this game!

Hans Trapp and the Ice Queen have captured 12 Yulemen and are planning to ruin Christmas!
I guess I got lucky with this one, I had no problem with glitches (using Windows 11) and I truly enjoyed it! I love that they weaved Icelandic lore into a game, although the real story of the 13 Yule lads is quite a bit darker! The puzzles were challenging and as always the graphics were stunning. You have to travel through 3 of Han's memories, so it took me a couple of days to finish.
I recommend this game!

A boy takes a journey to the North Pole to stop naughty boys from stealing all the presents this Christmas!
This game took me a couple of days to complete and it really got me in the Christmas mood! We had lots of furry helpers (a bulldog, rabbit, squirrel and hamster) and the graphics were stunning! The mini-games and hidden object scenes were unique and challenging and the graphics gorgeous!
If poor reviews make you hesitant, always play the demo first. It costs you nothing for a whole hour of play and it will usually give you a good indication if the game is right for you or not.
I recommend this game!

A great game to play while watching your favorite scary movies!
This is a simple form of solitaire where you choose the high or low card. The gold cards on the bottom are the main objective because you'll need them to move to the next level. It's also important to obtain coin cards so that you can buy helpers (I recommend saving for Joker cards). There's also a variety of cool Halloween card designs to choose from.
Unfortunately, I couldn't rate it 5 stars. After the first seven levels, there was some sort of glitch that made it grab 2 cards instead of 1 and it was really affecting my game. It was fun up until then, though!

Your sister convinces you to play a game that summons a demon and she becomes trapped in his world!
This is a fun game for adults and children because the colors are more bright and cheerful than spooky and dark. The hidden object puzzles were interesting and the one's you didn't fancy could be played as a match-3. The mini-games were fun, too. This one felt like it took me a while and it reminded me of the mirror worlds in a few of the older games.
Four stars because the story didn't really pull me in. We've seen cackling witches and impish demons enough times that it feels old hat. For new or younger players, this would be an absolute treat, though. I still enjoyed it.
I recommend this game!
