I bought because the demo is awesome! It makes you think the game is challenging all the way, right? Wrong! Some chapters are too easy (the third one, for example), while the last one there is almost no help at all. Besides, for a brainy game, you'd expect many missions (at least 10) and chalenges that build up with the missions you took before, which doesn't happen. There are five main missions, and on each, there are around five tasks (sometimes less, as seen on mission 4). It's all doable in two hours, which I think it's not worthy US$ 15. Beautiful scenarios, nice music, but very little challenge. In all, a little disappointing.
Played it over a dozen times before getting tired of it
For some reason, this game captured me. Not sure why, since it's a basic match three with assemble-the-item hidden object to finish each level. It was challenging in places without being frustrating. Both the sound and visuals were attractive. The information about each civilization added some depth. I played it over and over and even now occasionally return to it. Well worth the money.
This is a solid time management game. One of the best features is that when you replay a level, although the goals remain the same, the buildings are on different lots so the strategy can differ. Added a nice dimension. Some levels are challenging, but none of them proved impossible. A keeper.
Reasonably entertaining, but after playing one level over and over without making enough money to progress (after easily reaching the goals on every other level I played), I punted. Not worth the frustration, when enjoyable games abound.
Run, don't walk, to demo this not so little game. It is an indie title. A little bit like Machinarium in a much happier, more colorful place.
The artwork is so charming. The tasks - well, you do have to find objects, but absolutely not in junk piles. Then you use those things to solve puzzles. In one case you have to solve a puzzle to solve another one.
The game has absolutely no directions - half the fun was figuring out what to do.
Honest, just play the demo - put on your thinking cap; it will make you smile.
I got this with a bundle with a ton of other hidden object games and this is the only HO game I have ever played all the way through. Every scene has a different theme and then there is a minigame at the end of each scene. I didnt really like most of the mini games but over all this is a fun game. If you are curious about hidden object games but dont like the same old same old definitely give this one a try. :)
I tried the demo and all the levels were pretty easy, but I figured it'd get harder if I could play all the levels. It doesn't. Every level is just the same thing over and over; it doesn't get any harder. Cute idea, but I feel like I've been ripped off. I'm definitely sorry I bought it.
Three years after buying this game my husband and I still call it up when we want to waste some time. We've gotten perfect scores on every level and we still get it out again and again. Our kids are starting to try it too. Definitely a good buy.
I really enjoyed playing this game. It keeps your interest by giving you different combinations of customers who request different things and by gradually becoming more challenging. There are also some fun mini-games that allow you to get more supplies for the spa, and you can upgrade your equipment as you go. The story line is cute too. Kept me busy during a boring snowstorm.
Interesting. Fun. Pretty. Wish it had been longer.
I like HO games with a plot and some neat puzzles thrown in. I waited awhile to review this because it was my first HO game. But it remains a favorite. It was smart with nice art, a purpose to finding the hidden stuff, a good plot based on Norse mythology. An all around good deal!
I enjoyed this game. It has a lot of variety, from finding the parts and building a weird sci-fi contraption that you then use throughout the game to tracking down kidnapped animals. Interesting, sometimes challenging, always upbeat. Pretty, too.
Pinball Yeah! got an update. Patch notes are as follows:
1.0.2: Latest version.

Avadon: Old School RPG with modern elements
Spiderweb Software has always known how to weave an intriguing tapestry of epic questing, immersive atmosphere along with a compelling story, characters and dialogue. Avadon: The Black Fortress is no exception. Graphics are great, dialogue snappy, quests varied, leveling and loot addictive. Everything a solid RPG needs. Its pleasing to see that even after 16 years of making old-style RPG's, Jeff Vogel knows how to keep things fresh and interesting. Buy it!
Mouse control does not work properly, control settings must all be personalized, the game is just clunky and frustrating! Feels like a Wii game that has not been adapted to a mouse and keyboard configuration. Seriously, either adapt this game for Macs or don't sell it-it's that simple! I regret that I shelled out the bucks for this poorly conceived piece of *&%.
The Chocolatier games are great games! They obviously get better as they progress, however, its great to play all of them. Make sure to play the first Chocolatier game first, though, or you'll be disappointed with it after you've played the more advanced 2nd and 3rd. I would definitely recommend buying this bundle!
This game is clearly above all others. The puzzles are challenging and the search and find areas are fun and not too easy. Hours of fun and good play. Great graphics and story. 5 stars from me.
I would have really liked to have played this game but the control system is useless as has been said earlier. I've played many console games and have also played many versions of Tomb Raider on my Mac so it's not like this sort of game is new to me.
I tried setting up a PS3 controller and a joystick. Only some of the buttons on the PS3 controller worked in AC2, and the joystick didn't work at all despite having calibrated and mapped both of them to the correct functions.
If I could get the PS3 controller to work with AS2 it might just be worth it but as it is now it's just money down the drain!
