Along with a few others, I have been waiting a long time for a sequel. I love the challenge of this game. It's not your typical match three. This is pretty much the same as the first one, but I don't mind. I could do without the narratives when you finish each level. Those annoy me, but at least I can click thru them quickly. I purchased this game before I even played the demo.
On a side note, the first MatchVentures stopped working after I owned it for a while. The circle that spins as the game loads just freezes and it will not load to play. I hope it doesn't happen again. I complained a lot in the group chat and to BigFish, but I was only given a credit. Not a fix. The devs never helped me fix the problem.
I love this series, so I had to play the demo. After 5 minutes, I purchased it. It is exactly the same layout as the previous games, but this time you have to match the color of the squares. It offers relaxed play, which I enjoy. This old brain doesn't like to work too hard. LOL
This game is very simple to play, especially in relaxed mode. That's perfect for me. I like not having to think about moves sometimes. It doesn't feel like a game I will play every day, but it is relaxing enough that I purchased it.
I enjoy having choices of play, from timed to completely relaxed without penalty. The objects are well hidden, but not impossible to find. I like that because this old brain can't handle anything too complex. Plus I ADORE having to find a cat in almost every scene! You also have many different games built into each level of play. I really enjoy it. Make more of these, please! With more cats!
I enjoyed the demo. The music is very pleasant at first, but becomes annoying after a while. Turning it down helps. To me the objects are well hidden. I could not get through any scene without using a hint. You "earn" stars that unlock the next scene to play. You have to replay the same scenario but with different objects to seek out to earn more stars and move on. There is a timer, and no relaxed mode, but the timer counts up, not down. So you do not run out of minutes. It remind me a lot of the Big City Adventures games, which I love.
I have been waiting so long for another Next Stop! I absolutely love this series and I bought this without even playing it first. I read the other reviews and that was good enough. I am not sorry or disappointed. It is everything I expected and more!
I love this series and this one is as appealing as Cursed House 5 was. I love the new graphics. The play seems to be the same formula, but that's ok. I don't need surprises. It's a win-win formula that works for me. Going to buy it right now!
This one missed the boat entirely. It's not even close to Imperial Island 3 which I love and play constantly. I'm not sure why the devs deviated so much from a formula that worked. I am very disappointed in this game.
This game does have a relaxed mode under options, which I was pleased to find. However, I have to agree with the others that this game is seriously lacking the fun factor that Save Halloween: City of Witches has. You don't get to decorate your house and there are no real challenges to deal with. I played the demo for about 15 minutes and gave up because it's really too easy and nothing like the original.
I absolutely am hooked on this game! I played all 180 levels to the end, then it starts fresh again from the beginning. I love that! There is just enough of a challenge that you need to work at it, but it's so satisfying to complete a level. Not too difficult to master. Just my speed.
