At last a game without a junk pile to search, instead the few scenes where you search for items, you have to utilise the items.Like games where the actions are clear and can work out what to do.

Not for the lazy player as you will have surprize games and hog all over the place many with an innovative twist. A real brain workout. I did love the fact that with the rose game you had the opportunity to revisit the scene to find the rose. I often forget to look for the collectables, and as finding roses leads to another game this was a great addition. There are lots of extras so well worth CE price
I recommend this game!
Surface: The Pantheon Collector's Edition
It should have been a tremendous achievement, but the tunnel through the Ridge of Leviathan became the site of a great disaster. What really happened that day?

I dont often do a review, but this game deserves high praise. If this is the only game you buy, you wont be disappointed. Even the bonus game was worth the extra cost, along with the other CE additions including extra puzzles.

What a relief to play a great game without hidden object scenes. I like to get on with doing things, not stopping to poke about a pile of stuff to continue the game. Some devs have great games but too many hidden object scenes, so I love this game where I use my brains to solve problems. The hint button is helpful if you get stuck and the inclusion of helpers brings a new dimension. Been playing for a couple of hours and would recommend this game.

Though it didnt have morphing object or fancy map, didn't need them, as it is a game for people who like a challenge. You definitely need pen and paper to keep track if like me you have a bit of a problem remembering where things are to be found. Some of the mini games are difficult, but you can skip and try them when you finish the game. Graphics are superb, with fantastic mechanical objects and one scene has a bookshelf with beautiful glass animals and objects.
Is long playing and well worth a CE price.

Loved the game, but was a bit too easy and completed it in an afternoon. However beautiful graphics and interesting addition of funny little hidden animals. Note the triangle on the left which pulls out will tell you how many to find, if you are like me and want to know. Even then some are well hidden in nooks and crannies.
I recommend this game!

I dont do many reviews unless I am really impressed with a game and this one has everything.
Very few HO which were generally clear and inovative games. Good length and fantastic graphics.
I like having 'chapters' that clear the inventory, so you start fresh with the next scene.

Well this game is a challenge and has provided many hours of play. Not too many HOG and they were clear and uncluttered. Puzzles challenging. Graphics wonderful. So pleased there is a map that you can jump to a location, as there is a lot of back and forth to complete tasks, that were sometimes obscure. You need to remember were to find help. Surprized it isnt in the top ten games, as it is a CE length at SE price.
I recommend this game!

I feel sorry for the devs but they need help if they are going to produce a commercial game that will sell. It was so awkward and made little sense. The hidden object scenes were so sparse that you didnt need a list, just click everything you could see. You didnt get an object when you completed the hidden object scene only 'power'. Yes I finished with 3 minutes to spare. Didnt Big Fish test this game before presenting this for its customers?
I don't recommend this game.

Though a little short this game didnt have any bells and whistles but had a good flow to the game and kept me interested to the end. The hint button was useful when not sure where to go next. The graphics were great. Not too many hidden object scenes and they were clear if a little crowded. The mini games were interesting if a bit simple.
Good starter game for someone new to this type of game.
