Nice graphics and nice music, very relaxing. I think I'd prefer a more linear style of play. I thought the fun facts scraped the bottom of the barrel. I got a bit frustrated when I'd got all the special items, plus all facts, and still didn't get a green tick. You just have to keep playing a level, sometimes you'll play it once, or twice, or four or five times before it gives you that green tick. It'll give you that green tick when it's good and ready to and not before! I found it's best to keep shuffling between scenes and eventually it'll happen.
It reminds me of the old spectrum and amstrad games like Movie, where you adventure through lots of rooms and have to find a way to open locked doors. There's a basic Sim aspect to the two characters. You have to make sure they're fed, rested and cheered up! I like that each character has different skills and so you have to use them according to their abilities. You collect bones to make up hints. Not enough bones or hints. I'd have preferred it with unlimited hints. It got too cluttered, too soon, with too many rooms and too many different things to do, none of it linear. I'd love to see a more linear version without the need to feed the characters. It was far too short. I was very surprised that it ended when it did.
It's more of a movie than a HOG and the HOS are not that good, very basic with three hints each. What I didn't like about it is the Spot The Difference puzzles. There are no hints or skips on them, so if you get stuck, you're up the creek without a paddle. I got to the end of the game and I enjoyed it but it could have been better. If you're looking for a decent HOG, move on. If you're looking for something a bit less run of the mill, a bit different and highly original, then this is for you. It's old school too and you'll get a cute sci fi movie, that could have made a great Netflix series with a little work. The movie is about an hour long, consisting of clips in between the HOS. The lead guy reminded me of a young Johnny Knoxville.
I like the detailed authentic scenes of the titanic in this relaxing hidden object game. There are some basic puzzles to be solved in some scenes. It is a little short but graphics are nice and I like the way you become involved in the story as the inspector's assistant.
Another wonderful Delicious game. One of my favourites. Funny, well paced script and lots of variety regarding the restaurants. There's even a halloween style horror cafe for all fans of the macabre. I also like the farm/range cafe, the bikers pub and Betty's burger bar. They're all fun. The game play is good too, getting more difficult as you progress through the chapters but not too difficult to complete, with just the right amount of challenge. A great game and excellent value for money.
This was a real challenge at times, as a lot of the objects were blended into the scenes or behind other objects or just simply tiny. At one point, I nearly jacked it in (during the moth scene) and I don't like giving up on any game, but I perservered and managed to finish it. I could have played it again on advanced level and gained a bonus scene, but I thought better of it. I liked the graphics and enjoyed the challenge for the most part, but it's not relaxing at all, especially on timed level. It's also a very long game or maybe it just felt like it!
This is great. A mix between cooking academy and a restaurant time management game. So there's a bit of real time cooking and delagation of duties to other cooks. The beauty of it is, you can decide whether you want to cook more or delegate more. I discovered the hard way that delegation was most definately the key. It has a very fine balance between the two though. None of the other cooks do the baking, processing or mixing, so I found it best to concentrate on those, especially in the later levels. I did get stuck sometimes and had to play some of the later levels again a few times. I found the Italian restaurant the hardest towards the end of it, but I think that was just when my learning curve was coming in. It is absolutely doable though, a good challenge at times and very addictive. Very.
The objects in this game are difficult to find and with only three hints per chapter and timed, it really does pose a challenge. I had to resart each chapter many times. There is a chance to gain an extra hint if you find a few yellowish birds in each scene. There are no environ sounds in this straight forward HOG but there is some nice relaxing honeymoonish type music. The objects are blended in very well and some of them are just not fair. The old school games were like that though, they make you work for it.
This game is quite addictive, with nice graphics and good funny characters. I like the blend of Match 3 and time management restaurant game BUT and this is a big but, no matter how good you are at Match 3, if you have the strategy wrong, i.e you buy the wrong upgrades, in the wrong order, you will never progress and have to start again. There is no way of knowing what upgrades to buy at what stage and you never get enough tokens to buy the high end recipes.This results in many people having to start the game again, from scratch, many times and trying another strategy. Game skill means very little later in the game. I wasn't very good at strategy or game play but I've got really good players to play my game and even though they do miles better than me, they still can't progress. Burger Rush is better.
I'm not usually keen on Match 3 games but this is an exception. Unlike other Match 3's, it has an ending. Sometimes the levels go on forever in these things. It's sort of a mixture between a time management and a Match 3 and it really works. It's not complicated, the customers are interesting characters and it's so much fun.
