I absolutely love this game. I like M3's and building things so this is a double win for me. There are also some features I especially like. You have to get to the blueprint for each building. That consists of clearing a path for a hat to get to the blueprint. I like that kind of M3 play. Also, when you are able to purchase the building, the way it's presented is unique. It might give some people a headache since it zooms in to the building and gives you a 360 degree view of it. Again, love that feature. There are numerous powerups which I think are also good. I played through level 32 before I had to go to bed, although I would have played longer if I could have. The "extras" consist of the Credits which I find comical, but it's not a CE so I didn't expect much of anything. I must add that I never play for stars. I just play to play and relax. I've been retired for a few years and if I wanted pressure I'd go back to the Rat Race. I'm all about kicking back and relaxing when playing a game.
I recommend this game!
Take an inspiring trip through history!

Concerning the game play, this is very similar to several other games that have been offered recently. Good variety of puzzles which I always enjoy. Having a story line is not mandatory for me. I am totally talentless when it comes to the slider puzzles. I've never figured out how to successfully play them. Happy to see the "skip" button being available on those particular puzzles.
I am gob smacked that BG is offering a Christian story even though it's Christmas. I remember a few years ago when a game based on the story of Noah and the flood was offered. Some fishies were offended by that. I'm expecting the same will happen with this game. I'm a Christian, so neither game offends me. I very rarely play the music during a game, but I did have the music playing during this game and enjoyed it.
As much as I enjoy this type of game play (variety of puzzles), I must admit that we've had so many of them lately that I'm beginning to wonder why there has been such a lack of variety in the offerings. I have not much of a clue as to the answer to that question, although others may have some insight about it.
I recommend this game!

I have many of this type of game. I love the variety of puzzles and the kick back relaxation they offer. They are colorful and fun. Another reason I like this type of game is because they can be played for short periods of time in between more involved games. If I have 15 or 20 minutes here and there, this type of game is perfect to fill that time. But, I have played them for much longer periods of time since I find them so enjoyable. The variety of puzzles is a huge draw for me.
I recommend this game!

I can't complain about this game very much since I purchased it right away. The one area of the game that really needs to be improved is the conveyor belt underneath the puzzle. The area is so dark that it's very difficult to see many of the pieces. But, the biggest problem is that to move the conveyor and access all of the pieces, you have to click on it and drag it with your mouse. It desperately needs to have arrows to click on to move the conveyor belt to the left and right. I mean it REALLY needs those arrows. Too much of the time when I wanted to grab it with my mouse and move it left and right, I grabbed a puzzle piece instead of a space between the pieces - partially because the area is so dark. If it had arrows to move the conveyor belt/inventory of pieces, it would be just about perfect for me. I love this type of game and it's been a very long time since one has been offered.
I recommend this game!

This is another game I will wait to purchase after BF thinks it's old enough to purchase during a sale. The interesting thing about this game is that how you view it might depend on whether or not you've played the Viking Brothers games of a few years ago. Those games were all superb. I feel like this game is a "knock-off" of and a step down from those games. It's presented in more of a comic book fashion which is different, but okay. There is a "richness" in those previous games that is missing from this one. To me, you can appreciate this game more if you are not familiar with the earlier Viking Brothers games. When you compare the two game versions, that's when this one begins to suffer a bit. BUT, I will purchase it at some point in the future when I can get a sale price on it.
I recommend this game!
Enjoy a journey filled with thrills, chills, and puzzles!

I have all of the games in this series except for #4. I've played the demo for this newest installment and really enjoyed it. I, like J4016C, will wait to purchase it until it's considered to be an "old" game so I can apply a sale price sometime in the future. Honestly, I can't afford to pay $15 for a game on a frequent basis. I joined BF many years ago so I could get sale prices as part of my membership. I sincerely hope BF discontinues their policy of not including "recent releases" in sales. I think I may purchase #4 right now since it should qualify for the sale price.
I recommend this game!

I've enjoyed the first two installments of this series and have played the trial version of this one; but I won't be buying this one for a while since Big Fish will no longer let us apply sale prices to newer releases - VERY BAD DECISION, Big Fish. My only criticism of the game itself is that there are way too many "find the difference" puzzles and that is my least favorite of the categories. The balance of how many games is in each category is really uneven for some reason. Maybe someday when BF thinks this is an old game, I'll be able to get it for a sale price.
Learn the wisdom of the ancients in this match-3 adventure!

I have all of the previous games in this series. One of the best things each time a new one comes out is seeing what new features have been added. There are some great new twists and turns with this one. I've been playing it nearly non-stop since I purchased it. The help feature - a book in the upper left hand corner - is always very helpful, when needed as a reference. This game makes you think and is great fun. The dialogue between the two ghosts is always good for a chuckle. Be sure to click on each one of them - just for fun.
I recommend this game!

As lee_tee said, this series is a bit different from others of the same genre. I have all of them and get the CE's. These are great "chill out" games that suit me very well. I have a few of the "I Love Finding ---" games, but they are not an automatic buy for me. The clutter games by Joe are fantastic and I own all of them but one. I play a big variety of games (HO, TM, solitaire, M3, puzzle) and this particular series fits well into my game collection. I have purchased several games in the fast few weeks, but I am submitting very few reviews these days, but wanted to give this specific game another 5 star rating since I really enjoy it.
I recommend this game!

I like the variety of games. This is a kick back and relax kind of game. There are times for really challenging games and there are times for more relaxing games. I like both, depending on my mood and how much time I have. I thought the graphics were fine. I had no interest in the CE extras, so was totally satisfied with purchasing the SE.
I recommend this game!
