A delightful game. Meet a partner, have kids, or not, work in a career. Make some money, gain some stuff for the house. Have a full fridge, a house full of love. It has a sweetness and innocence about it.
The best thing is the game play. It strikes such a good balance. Not too hard, not too easy, it's just right, like the porridge that Goldilocks eats.
There are challenges. You have to wait for some of the things you want and need but it doesn't get too frustrating. There is a good amount of progression at exactly the right time.
I find myself relating to these lovable characters. You follow them through to the end of their life, sharing their sadness to a degree but not feeling all the trauma, like some sequels I could mention. Ahem.
I recommend this game!

This had the potential to be good and I was hopeful that it would be and should be better than the first. Rewards are few. There is very little positive reinforcement. My families won't work/progress in a timely manner and they earn little money. It sometimes seems that my families make more money through finding collectables. They won't have babies, even when they both 'definitely' want them. The baby boost doesn't work. My little people spent all their hard earned cash adopting lots of kids. I also committed the cardinal sin of paying more hard earned money to speed up the game, so that three years passed and I did it several times. Big, big mistake. Then I realized they had no money, so I sold all the furniture and the kids were sleeping on the decking.
I noticed recently that the family had a big meal and I made sure their food bar was full. At that point I had 300 food, I closed the game, went back five minutes later and there was only 80 food in the fridge.
I think finally though, I may have worked out a solution, of sorts. Get a DINKY couple. Double Income, No Kids for the entire generation. Make them work to death. Do that for four or five generations and then I might be able to afford an upgrade.
I'll try that.
The game was actually a good lesson in financial choices and family management and an immersive but reluctant experience of dire poverty, dysfunction, misery and bereavement.
It's demoralizing, depressing, disappointing but also strangely addictive.
Just like real life.
I recommend this game!

I like the Sea God and Sea Monster theme in this, that whole Dagon mythology. Great game play, graphics, atmosphere and environmental sound effects. Good pace too.

I thought the puzzles were fun and it was addictive. Problems came later having to wait 12/24 and even 48 hours to craft an item. You should be able to play a game daily, or at least have something to do in the game on a daily basis, that is fun, while waiting for crafting items to be completed. You shouldn't have to wait, say, longer than 8 hours to craft an item, at the very most. That way, you get to at least check in daily and get some progress on the game.
I don't mind waiting and delaying gratification in games and earning game rewards through sheer hard work and patience. Most times, I prefer it, as it gives a sense of achievement, which is lacking in most games.
The game completely froze before I could finish the final puzzle and I was unable to load it again.
However, I can overlook any bad points as I thoroughly enjoyed the game.
I recommend this game!

I bought this for my husband primarily, who likes Match 3 and I thought it seemed fun and cute, but for some reason we both lost interest in it. It lacked that addictive quality and there were few rewards and upgrades or incentives that keep people playing. I was foolishly pulled in by the cute factor and the first hour was fun. The demo hour can be fun and interesting and then you buy the game and it occasionally goes downhill from there. This one gets challenging fast. The main downside is, you have to go back to the beginning of levels. Foe example, if you've played 15 levels of one section/chapter, and you fail level 15, you go right back down to Level 1 again. Good first impressions are not always sustainable. Disappointing.
I don't recommend this game.

It kept crashing on me, midgame, and therefore crashing the computer, so I decided to uninstall it, very disappointing, but I still liked the game. I think I got over half way through and I loved the graphics. The cream cakes, pastries and chocolate are mouthwateringly rendered and the characters are fun too. Game play is also good but there are no power ups as such, just time, quality or speed bonuses that you can start the level with. Obviously, if I'd have known it was going to crash all the time, I would never have bought it. It got progressively more difficult as it went on and some levels had to be played a few times, either because I lost the level or the game crashed. However, I always felt like I could progress in the game, so it had the right amount of challenge.
I recommend this game!

I bought it because I enjoy all the Fishdom games and the later Aquascapes hidden object game.
In my opinion, it's certainly more suitable for intermediate to advanced players. It started off good and the graphics are fun and nice and clear. I like buying all the toys and decorations for the fish, in between levels, but the match 3 gets difficult really quickly. I would never have seen Level 158 without help from other family members. There are levels with oils spills and they take over the tiles. It's visually interesting but too challenging for me without power ups or any other help to get out of the level unscathed. I could change it to relaxed, but I'd still get stuck, and then I'd be stuck in that level forever. Oh well...

I got to over 1,000 levels on the HOS and about 110 on the actual game level. I got all the achievements but it came at a price, my sanity. Seriously, I thought it would drive me crazy. No-one was holding a gun to my head but I couldn't stop playing to see how far I could get. It seems to go on for infinity. When I finally quit, the relief was palpable. I like a clear finish to a game. I was looking for a clear finish and there isn't one. That said, I really enjoyed it and thought it was a great game. The hidden object scenes are so much fun, beautiful graphics and atmosphere. The fish in the aquarium are funny and cute too and I enjoyed buying all the toys and decorations for them, but I won't be playing it again, for a very long time. Perhaps never.
I recommend this game!

All quirky, unique, fun, hidden object scenes. 3 Chapters, about 30 scenes in all, with interesting easy puzzles and generally a smaller hidden HOS within each scene. Good atmosphere, ambience and environmental scenes. Quirky, creative, original scenes.

Lots of old school puzzly HOS in this HOPA. Good environmental sounds with a good atmosphere. Quick charge hints on HOS.
Very linear. No getting lost or going back to old rooms. I thought the jellyfish room was weird and memorable. I enjoyed the room where you can play Gymnopedie No.1 on a gramophone, another memorable and quirky moment.
A medium time wait for skip recharge on puzzles. I found the game a bit short.
I recommend this game!
