I usually don't do reviews but I have to on this one, for the main reason that the deal breaker for me will also be the same for others.
I'm always looking for a good solitaire game, but just one thing stopped me on the first game. I beat the game easily, which left quite a few cards. Instead of the cards automatically leaving the table and then dealing a new hand, I had to physically click each card to away to finish the game. That is so archaic, I haven't seen that in any game for awhile. I searched the options, everything to see if I had the option for the auto pickup, but none. I will not sit there and have to click each card left over to finish the game. Sadly, a no buy for me, not even with a free coupon.
I don't recommend this game.

I don't write very many reviews, but this one is getting a mention from me. This company has put out a lot of these "griddler" games, that are actually nonograms. If you make a nonogram correct, you won't leave 4 or more squares that has to be quessed at, at the end of a puzzle. You nonogram players know what I mean. The very first puzzle on this one had two of these instances at the end. The second one was absolutely terrible, having to guess almost from the start. I didn't even finish the second level, that is how bad it was. I consider myself an expert on these puzzles, and I don't think it is fair that I have to sit and decide what goes where. I find this in a lot of games, but not to this extent. Sometimes you can tell by the colors where to put something, but not in this case. I want challenges, not guessing.
I don't recommend this game.
A quest filled with more than 100 mosaic nonograms to find Arcanesium. Gather clues and crack codes to solve the mystery.

I love these types of games, whatever they are called, nanograms, picross, etc. However, the majority of them offer no challenge whatsoever, just nice colors and ease of play. For instance the Fantasy Mosaic games. I wasn't able to play them at first because of problems with my old computer. I just recently bought a new one and was excited to play these Fantasy Mosaic games. What a disappointment. I like the idea with the colors, but they get boring really fast because there is no challenge. I can go through a whole game without using help more than one or two helps. There is no challenge whatsoever. I gave 5 stars for visual, but only 1 star for level of challenge.
I recommend this game!

I usually don't do reviews, but had to on this one. I usually also don't buy SE games without a walkthrough but took a chance on this one.
The puzzles and HO's were fun to do. There is no walkthrough but with a map and hint system, it was ok. However what I liked more than anything was the fact that it seems we got a bonus game with the SE. As soon as the little boy was rescued, the game was over with, but then it opened up into a bonus game, which I am still working on. All in all, for the price, a very good game.
I recommend this game!

I am a fan of casual relaxed games, but this one is too relaxed. You wait forever for anything to get done, it is a very very slow game. There are also no instructions as how to do anything-you have to figure it out for yourselves. I was looking for another game in this genre to buy but this one is a no go for me-way too slow (and I don't like timed games-so for me to call this slow, means it is really slow)! For these two reasons I would not recommend this game.

I really wanted to like this game. It seemed to be very challenging. But---some of the items were impossible to find, had to use the hint button too many times. By the time I got to the second room, I got stuck. I couldn't find the last 3 pieces of the camera, started clicking around (which I hate to do) and it would tell me to use the hint button. Well, the hint button had stopped working. I spent half my demo time trying to figure out why the hint button wouldn't work and trying to figure out what to do. There was also too much time lapse between scenes. Before I delete, I will check and see if there is a walkthrough. I consider myself an excellent game player, so know it wasn't me. I really would have liked to keep playing.
I don't recommend this game.

This was a funny, different game, really enjoyed, but was unimpressed with the length. I finished the demo in half an hour and used a coupon code to buy the game for $4.99. I was done with the game within an hour, was disappointed because of that, felt it was a waste of money. For a different type of game, I recommend it, but because of the shortness of the game, it was not even worth the $4.99.
I don't recommend this game.
