Finally, they gave us another time management game which I love, been suffering from withdrawals of getting more sequels to MKFTP and Roads of Rome. This one makes you think and you have to be fast to plan ahead. I'm not sure what makes this a CE, but I'm guessing there may be a bonus level.It's a buy for me, no matter what.
As already mentioned in previous reviews, there are trophies to win. You can trade wood for stones and vice versa, build lots of buildings and roads etc.
Love to play these strategy games when I just want to change it up a bit, not always playing adventure and HOG, which I collect. A lot of fun

I played about 40 min of the demo, but I'm not too impressed. A lot of talking, a lot. Story is just ok, travel back in time and fix a machine. Been there done that, tasks are the usual. It may be an ok game for a lazy afternoon but it did not hold my interest. The best thing about it was the little " Siamese" cat.
Sorry, have to pass on this one.

This was an amazing game. Beautiful graphics and colors. Very nice HOGs that can be interactive. Story is captivating. Loved the little gnome ( treasure keeper ) and having to find the cursed coins.He will tell you a bit of the story each time you give him a coin.Lots of areas to explore. The maps are fun to look at. Length was also very good, well worth the CE, because the bonus concludes it all.I wanted to keep playing, but all good things come to an end.
Some of the skeletons are hilarious, make sure you explore and click on all areas. The glowing corals and plants are absolutely well done.Good journal.
This one I will play again.Definitely recommend

Yes, on Mother's Day I treated myself to this wonderful game. It reminds me of Mystery trackers, with real actors, pretty good storyline, but somewhat grainy graphics.
It is kind of easy to keep track of things and inventory items, and having only played about 2 hours into the game I have not seen a HOS, which I kind of miss.
There is a little trunk that constantly plays mini scenes on the bottom, from the war, and you have to find film reels which you can play there too. Also you need to collect medals, which also go in the trunk.
I like this game a lot, it just flows and you don't have to go nuts over trying to figure out what to do next. I also like the ghost scenes, which can sneak up on you here and there and give you a few grey hairs, but there is a bottle for that..... I spent my 2 credits on this one and no regrets
Keep it up BFG, very nice

I hesitated at first to try this but once I played the demo I had to buy this game.
Wonderful illustrated HOS, good minigames and captivating storyline.The special items that you have to take to the monks to convert into another item makes it even more interesting.
The lighting effects totally change a room and items to find and once you change the lighting again, it all comes together.
Bonus game was very well done. you have to rescue the monks. Well worth the CE price and very nice game length.
Beautiful graphics, I absolutely recommend this game

Love this game, I have the first one and bought this one right away without trying. I know it's just good, entertaining and fun.
Still have to find hidden objects, more like a rummage sale,the faster you are the more money you make. Austin is still a little wise guy, too funny. It is a nice change from all the adventure, HOG games I usually play. It is just easygoing entertainment, and you get too fix up a mansion inside. So many choices......
Have fun

I'm sorry, but I just cannot wrap my mind around this game. I gave it a chance, played the demo, and still don't like it.
Being a CE it should offer much more. Graphics and cutscenes came across a bit cheap.
I usually like darker minded games, but this one seemed so far fetched. Guess you either love it or hate it.

This was a very beautiful game, gorgeous graphics, a beautiful storyline, with sometimes very realistic moving details. HOS were not overwhelming but sometimes the translations, like look for a tube, turns out to be a pipe, just did not make sense.
Minigames were pretty easy. Yes there was a lot of back and forth but to me that is part of the fun. The only technical problem I had was when Isa spoke, he got stuck talking. I just kept clicking and it went away. It is also very lengthy and the bonus took me close to 2 hours. But I like to stop and look at everything, especially with great graphics like that.

In this game the search for items just made sense, so the SG is not really needed. Many locations to visit. This is definitely one of my favorites now.
I recommend this game!

I have waited for this sequel to come out and played the demo on the devs website but waited for BF to release it. It was soooo worth it, however I must say, that the first one was a bit better. Seems like the first game had 1000 doors where as this one only had 500.
Still a lot of locations, but somewhat predictable " doors ".
Graphics and cutscenes are absolutely stunning, while traveling to the different countries. Game play was fairly easy and minigames not much new here, however a lot of fun. And you still have to find morphing objects, I was missing 7 more, arrgh
You still have to help the individual ghosts, but they are new faces, except for Gabriel and Amanda, who are back.
The ending left me thinking there must be more to come. I just hope there will be another sequel, but please give us loads of doors to explore. I just love all the areas from the first one.
The bonus game is well worth getting the CE, that's the only way to find out what may happen next, besides it is very long.
Can't wait for another, this must go on

I don't remember how many times I looked at this game before actually giving it a try. Played the demo and had to buy it. It was gooood. Nice length, many interesting locations, very nice graphics. Graphics and length mean a lot to me.
Storyline was good, kept me going trying to find out where the daughter is. Locations are very authentic.
I liked the little store where you can buy a few inventory items.
Make sure you collect coins throughout the game. They can be anywhere. Be wise on your purchases.
Minigames are fun and HOGs can be a little frustrating since objects can be teeny tiny or blend in perfectly, but overall I really enjoyed this one
