I first played Paint By Numbers 3 then jumped to this version and I instantly *loved* it! The images are interesting; the colours are (typically) varied and bright; and each puzzle can usually be completed in a few minutes (but since there are so many puzzles in the game, it will still occupy you for several hours). In addition to that, this game also has a "piece counter", so that as you do each colour, it tells you how many pieces have that colour; and how many you have found - at first, I thought this was cool and nerdy, but then I discovered that it is *really* useful. And if you get stuck finding really small pieces, the Hint function is *really* useful and doesn't have that annoying "recharge time" thing that many games have. Lastly, I *really* loved the instrumental music - I found it to be just as relaxing as the game itself, so if (when!) you purchase this game, don't forget to check it out. Anyway, have finished this, I'm off to get the next version!

Storyline
3/ 5
This is another great addition to this series of games, which seems to have been revised from earlier games - in particular, the rune stones (with the H on them) are all relatively easy to find here, which wasn't the case before. I also like the additional hidden items that appear in certain levels. The time constraints are actually reasonable too. It is strange that the text in the cut scenes no longer rhymes - I wonder if this is an issue with translation? Also, in the final special level, the movement between the two pink teleports results in a servants moving in a strange way that doesn't follow any path - this is confusing, but doesn't make the level any less fun. I have binged on all the games in the series so far, and will likely continue to do so - enjoy everyone!
