Love the Spring flowers in this game. Yellow, purple and white crocus, tulips, snowdrops and hyacinth. I liked the theme in the story. Ulf has a wonderful manner. I'm using the lovely waterfall screensaver. I did find some interactive scenes. In Alfheim by the stairs touch the crocus and see what comes out. I can click around to my hearts content in the hops. The plus items have outlines just how I like them.
Loved all but one hops. In the bonus chapter it has a check the differences with one page without color, really didn't like. Some hops are used more than once but I didn't mind.
I did like paint by symbol, jigsaw, potion making, pairs, target timing, maze, pop up book hops and overlay hops. Didn't like the play from the collectibles. Rather hops or pairs.
Morphs were ok. I click on them before they changed, and I rather see them change. I don't like to wait around for them to change.
The bonus chapter is 25 years later.
Has 5 chapters + bonus, 8 wallpapers, 8 concept arts and 5 screensavers. Replay 17 hops, 30 movies, 11 mgs and 6 music. 97 collectibles ( morphs and animals). Excellent indicator.
I got use to the 10-minute achievement and looked forward to them but it's not in this one. Liked they have more than one scene at a time, has outlines in plus items, no penalty in the hops and liked the collectibles. Especially the marine curiosities.
They did a fine job on the bouquet of roses, but some places seemed not finished and they walk funny.
I didn't like the placement of the map. The notes were so close that I clicked on it instead of what I wanted, the map.
The jigsaw in the secret room is too dark. I'd like more collectibles and an indicator. Also, no wait time on skip and hints. The achievements were ok, badges. It could be better. Bonus chapter was just OK, if that.
Replay 14 hops, 12 mgs and 5 music. Has 3 chapters + bonus, 6 wallpapers, 1 screensaver (not from jigsaw). I found 12 marine curiosities and collectable bees. Secret room has jigsaw and Expedition is where you pick up a collectible you missed.
I liked the 12 morphing poisonous flowers, 15 patient photos, amusement park, gameplay, length, nice concept arts, voice sound level is good and story.
I disliked wait 5 sec in the hops. I want to click to my heart's content. I dislike not being able to access all the settings without going to the main menu. The environment, voices and brightness you have to stop to access. Don't like episodes and chapters announced that aren't in the guide. It makes no sense to me. Don't like the smile circle and location in my upper scene. They don't have a real purpose and things are better on the tool bar section except for collectibles. The Operation Room Boudoir is icky. The hops aren't fun anymore they are more like puzzles, don't like missing letters hops. don't like the part light and park dark in a hops scene. Some sounds are so terrible like knock, knock, knock at Noah's apartment. This + that hops was so frustrating with the super small picture that you can barely make out. Don't like that you cut way back on the amount of videos.
I like that the game is laid back and fun. No penalties in hops and no glitches. Loved all the hops and some of the puzzles. Hated the constant door closing sounds in the first scene.
I played for three days. It's not super long but had RL things to do. I liked the collectible shells and mermaid pictures but only 12 pictures. I think it could have more.
In the bonus chapter I play Marianna the sea witch and by carrier gull the princess sent a message for help. Something strange is going on in the castle.
Replay 13 hops, 13 mgs and 4 music. Has 4 chapters, 8 wallpapers and one screensaver (not from jigsaw). Has a couple wallpapers without characters. Secret room where you put together a jigsaw. Expedition where you pickup missed collectibles.
Collectible mermaid cards. I think the achievements could be better. I don't like dream catchers at all and don't like levels in achievements. Jigsaw from 24 collectible shells. I saved the jigsaw and I can't find it outside of the game. I guess it just means it saved that I put it together. I can replay it.
I think if all the Irritating stuff was fixed I would give it 5 stars but you really can't give 5 stars to some stuff you really hate or just plain don't like.
1. Audio. You have to stop the game for some audio and visual items like brightness. I put the voices all the way up but it isn't connected. The voices are connected to the music and the music drowns out the voices especially in the beginning. I turn down the Environment for a constant howling wolf. I turn down the Effects for the grading sound when entering a scene.
2. Wait 5 sec in the hops. Hate this. It's like enduring a tv commercial. A crow bar I needed for a hops wasn't even visible. Don't like memory hops. You know the clue guide for the hops isn't visible while you look. The this + that pictures were too small to play it.
3. No A+ on Visual. Hate the 2 tone hops, bright and dark. Part of the game doesn't look finished because it's in between concept art and done. I use to like the bright beautiful games now they are too dark in some scenes and have that ugly teal. The brightness can help but then the scene is washed out. I totally dislike the episodes and would prefer announcing chapters. Dislike the heart on the upper right of the scene and circle on the upper left. No really purpose and it takes away space in the scene that I'm playing. The main menu access should be by the tool bar. Don't mind the collectible indicator.
I did like the game play, some of the puzzles, characters and the story line. I liked the jigsaws and don't like them hard. I liked the stained glass hops and match warrior with weapon because I could see it well enough to do it. I Love that I can access the collectibles, morphs and boudoir while playing. At least with larger Dragon eggs, Morphing Magic potions and Dragon Scales you can find them.
It states Your dialogue choices have a impact on the game's storyline. Well the 6th chapter I answer wrong on purpose and I couldn't go into the house that I could see in the guide so I lost some game play. I replayed the game and the wrong answer didn't make any difference in the beginning chapters but I lost the right to pick up nuts and finish that gameplay. So some wrong answers made a difference and some didn't.
I can't recommend this game because it has too many Irritating stull.
I had tech problems at the end of my first profile, at the end of the bonus chapter and I was able to finish on my second profile. I liked it pretty well except the voice of young Hansel in the prequel, in the bonus chapter. His voice just got on my nerves.
Loved the hops and most of the puzzles. Collectible cards and morphs are nice and not impossible.
Replays on 31 movies, 19 hops, 12 puzzles and 6 music. Has 4 chapters + bonus, 7 wallpapers, 15 concept arts, 6 screensavers and 100 things to find (cards and morphs) Has card game if you find everything.
So Colorful. This came out 2018. No dark scenes, just bright and wonderful. Starting out the unique book called The Gates had all the people close to it disappear. I play as a seeker with my sister Margaret.
Long game with 5 chapters. Has Collectible statues, pages and crystals to find. Seller in bonus content is where you purchase things with points from the crystals. Bonus chapter has a nice stained glass window hops.
Replay 32 video, 19 hops, 22 mgs and 5 music. Has 22 wallpapers, 20 concept art and 5 chapters + bonus.
I had several tech problems. 1. Came back to this game after a week and I only had two items in my inventory. A flashlight and vinegar. The vinegar was from the 3rd scene and the game would only allow me into the 1st and 2nd scene. I had to start over.
2. Trouble with toggle puzzle. It took several attempts to get anything to move.
3. In the 3rd chapter after I put a wheel on the door, the game kicked me out.
4. Even though I purchased the CE the only things I can access before I totally finish the bonus chapter is achievements and collectibles.
5. The first hops in the bonus chapter is a story hops with no highlighted words. It need instructions and some placement didn't make sense. The last hop needed instruction and I didn't think it was a hops but a puzzle. I did enjoy it.
6. Finished and looked at bonus content. The replays on the 8 hops went from 1 and 8 only and no in between numbers. The replays on puzzles went from 1 and 9 only no in between numbers. The wallpaper went to only 1 and 6 no in between numbers. After playing around I found the arrows are backwards. It will work using the wrong arrow.
7. It has a achievement for the secret room but no title for the secret room. Had to use a circle with a picture of jigsaw pieces to access the secret room. I don't like the achievement that look like a stamp but rather items in a room.
The game is not how it should be. I did finish it but was trying.
I did like parts of the game like throwing bottle at a monster and mixing potions. Wasn't crazy about the bonus chapter until I went under the sea. Liked the dragon.
Replays on 8 hops, 9 puzzles and 4 music. Has 3 chapters + bonus, 6 wallpapers, 1 screensaver, weird jigsaw with no outline, Expedition room to get things you missed, 12 collectibles and 24 puzzle pieces. By the way the 1st and 2nd song in music sounds the same to me.
I noticed that the guide had items that I didn't play. I wondered if I chose a different answer to a asked question if it would make a difference. It does. On second playing I answered different and I could play the part I couldn't in the first playing.
I don't know what I think about having to replay it all, to play all of it. I know I still hate the miss click penalty in hops. I Love Freedom from penalty. The differences by memory hops is terrible. No outline in the plus items. Not big on collecting paper for both Michael's drafts and prescriptions.
Now it has- Skip function is disabled in the mini-game replay. You can't skip a mg when replaying when you want to just stop. Well, I LOVE FREEDOM to skip.
The replay on hop 18 said "Complete this content in the game to replay it. I did finish the game.
Some sounds are so irritating. Man screams in the main and loud constant bird in the bonus chapter. So i had to silence the environment.
I like some things in the game. Lots of places to go and do. The map has arrow keys and worked well except when they want you to do a plus item instead of a scene. Seem like a lot more interactive scenes and they were really cool. I liked mixing the regent.
Replays on 17 cutscenes, 17 hops, 18 mgs and 5 music. Has 10 wallpapers, 15 concept arts, 4 chapters + bonus, Boudoir, morphs and collectibles.
I actually played some older Cruise Director for the first time lately and I wanted more. For that reason alone I give it five stars.
This one is different. I notice while playing the French Quarter Pier that I wanted to pick up trash. No trash to pick up. I picked up gold anchors in the game. Any where from one to five in the Bridal Suite. Of course the Bridal Suite and French Quarter Pier is only in the CE. Since I forgot about the trash until late in the game it was nicer that way but I had to really remember to get the gold anchors.
The CE has Nine Scene to scroll to but It would be Ten Scene if you count the French Quarter Pier which is a riddle following the Mississippi Bunch. The CE has Thirty Three scenes or Thirty Four if you count the French Quarter Pier.
This game was the hardest because it had words I didn't know. Like a different name for a guy playing a guitar. It wasn't necessary or wanted.
I really enjoyed that it was in familiar territory. It helped with maps. Like the familiar people also.
I didn't like the new place for the purchased items. At least with the purchases on the shelves you could see them well. I purchased the Hawaii Women set and couldn't see them clearly. The shining statue of Liberty was kind of neat though.
I had tech troubles. Had two different profiles. Had blacked out scenes with a moveable arrow for days and couldn't advance. Then out of the blue after checking a lot it worked. Using Windows 10 PC. This game should have worked without a hitch no matter what. For this reason I can't recommend it.
