I adore point and click adventure games. This one is a TRUE masterpiece/gem.
Those who know, will agree.
The rest, can go back to their ubiquitous hogs....
We all have different tastes and I for one am thrilled...
I recommend this game!

I have been a long time MCF fan. I too have waxed poetic about the memory of the older MCF games. Ravenhearst, DireGrove and even 13th Skull . They all had amazing plots, amazing puzzles and kept us entertained for hours.
One thing though about THEM though, was the junkpile hogs. Sorry, not a fan of the junkpile. .
So it was intriguing to me to see the new developer to the MCF legend .
I am SO glad that I did! I haven't played the bonus yet but really enjoyed the main game. GORGEOUS graphics and voice overs. The story could have been fleshed out more but for a first effort, not bad!
I feel that it can only get better in subsequent games.
I recommend this game!

A sleeper adventure ...with interactive and really fun hogs.
I have only played about half an hour but love this game. It has amazing background information about past and present day Russia as well as a challenging and fun adventure. OK sure it's not the glitzy graphics that people seem to need but WOW it is worth checking out if you an use your head and enjoy some history whilst playing the game.
I recommend this game!

Yes this is obviously meant for children. Nothing wrong with that. However I cannot help but compare it to the amazing series : Christmas Stories, and specifically , the Nutcracker. Now THAT was a great game and one which I re play every year as it is so good.
Sad how much of a mess THIS game is .
But each person (including me) is entitled to their own opinion. I am glad that I tried the demo before buying. Please do the same and decide for yourself....
I don't recommend this game.

This is not a jig saw, but a mosaic.
There are many beautiful images but yes perhaps not DIRECTLY related to the iconic Alice in Wonderland, but rather to a theme which is expressed in whimsical ways.
The theme might be dark but we adults can enjoy it, as not everything has to be for children.
It's challenging but fun. I really love it.
I recommend this game!

Quality and excellence and fun!

Not the same old nonograms which can be dull and sometimes TOO challenging.
Nor are these mosaics too easy as in the Penguin series.
I love all mosaics but the World's Greatest Cities hold my interest for hours; their variety, customizable difficulty levels and even a timer if so desired.
Me I play for relaxation so no timer....
I also adore the music .
I recommend this game!

I love mosaic games and this one is definitely the best one I have played for a long time.
Firstly, love that it is not timed . Love the arty feel (only have played the first section about 10 puzzles but the way they seem like fabric is so lovely and amazing)
There are no nasty noises if one makes a mistake and there are no time limits; both so appealing .
I recommend this game!

I am not a novice when it comes to nonograms or griddlers and have my favourites (as do all we fanatics)
I decided to give Gizmos a try and was very pleased.
I don't care about the story but actually found myself liking the voices(a first for me) They are non intrusive and encouraging...
I LOVE the puzzles though.
They are old school , "figure it out on your own" style and result in very nice seasonal pictures; charming!
I saw people had trouble with the cursor if they used their own computer cursor, so the tip to use the games' cursor was the fix and YES it works for me!
A really nice present from me, to me(great for a game credit but I wouldn't hesitate to buy it full price. )
Recommended....
I recommend this game!
