The makers and designers of these puzzles are creative, to say the least. I very much enjoyed the graphics as well. I liked being able to skip through much of the verbal dialogue since the captions were also visible so I could read through them and go on.
I am overwhelmingly tired of the occult overtones in almost every adventure game offered through BFG. The quality of the graphics, the art, the music, and mostly the intelligence involved in creating these puzzles is so wonderful that these elements will work, I repeat, WILL WORK, without the tired, cliched gimmicks of the occult, demonic and gothic themes. Sadly, this game falls into that category.
The worst part of this game comes in the Bonus chapter when a potion must be made from ingredients that includes blood!
When I got to that point and realized that I would have to feed this to a friend, I quit the game and uninstalled it. I found this to be disgusting, revolting and disturbing on so many levels, I wanted to end my membership - and I've been a member since BFG's inception.
The main game is ok and would have earned 4 stars from me, but the bonus game is what reduced it.
Please, BFG, you really can do better than this. You all are really incredibly talented, brilliant, creative, beautiful people and I have been a fan for many years. I own so much BFG swag that you can't turn around in my house without bumping into Felix's smiling face. My mother, children and grandchildren play these games based on my recommendations and I don't want them to see this particular game on my list of purchases.
Thank you.
I don't recommend this game.
There is a wonderful tale within you. 7 Grand Steps builds a story of your ancestors and how you came to be.

It took me the entire hour of trial game to get a handle on what to do, but then, I'm a slow learner. I feel there is a lot to be learned here as to how to master this game. If one could play Monopoly as if it were a game of Solitaire, then that would be pretty close to explaining what 7 Grand Steps is like. It's every bit a board game that requires thinking, planning, and trying to make the best choices about where and when to move your pawns and how much to spend on your children's education as well as what to teach them.
As you go, you build a history. Every now and then, you come to a figurative crossroads where you are given several choices about what your main pawn will do with his/her life. The choice you make has consequences and they are not always good or bad. Just like in real life, you hope to make the best choice possible based on what knowledge you have at the moment.
Although this is not my favorite type of game, I am thrilled to be putting my brain to work on something different. Kind of roughing up the gray matter.
It seems as if a lot of thought went into making the rules of this game and I found it to be not only challenging but addictive as well.
I recommend this game!
Save your beloved, and the island of Elithium, from the dragon Melborn in this epic, innovative Match 3 experience!

I thoroughly enjoyed this game because it's so very different. Some levels require sliding bars, others require flipping bars. This allows for lining up multiple objects for matching. Meanwhile, in the background, a full-fledged story is unfolding that gives a sense of an RPG. Sometimes, your character has to advance through a forest cutting down trees based on the number of axes you match. Sometimes, it's a cave that requires pick axes, sometimes your character is facing a terrifying beast and the only way to overcome it is to match bows and arrows for your character to shoot. You advance through a territory map, stopping sometimes to purchase items for your journey.
Very clever, different, and fun!
I recommend this game!

Haven't finished playing it yet but am having a great time. The story is clean and fun with no occult overtones or even hints. It's fun to build the farm and see the improvements, interact with the characters a bit and wait to see if the Mall parking lot will eventually take over my farm! A great way to spend some spare time. And the little boy is funny to watch, very hyper, goofy, clumsy sometimes. "Grandpa, Shekki is bothering me," he says when I click on him too much. Hahaha
I recommend this game!
