This is not a bad game, it's just not a really good game. This is a very basic HO and puzzle game, with no bells or whistles. This would be fine for a freebie, and would be a good choice to play between challenging games, just to catch your breath! I am recommending it on that level.
I recommend this game!

Madame Fate has always been my favourite in the MCF series, and it is a real pleasure to play such a worthy sequel! I was going to list all the great features, but lets just say that they are all great...start playing!!
I recommend this game!

I played about a half hour of the demo and found the game very tame, easy, and not very interesting. The HO's are simple, the 'hard' level is super easy, and I got pretty tired of having my name show up in the game...fun once, tedious after. The SE version of this game would be OK for a freebie.
I don't recommend this game.
You thought this would be just like any other investigation. But now you find yourself lost in a mysterious mansion brimming with strange creatures, comatose colleagues, and mysterious tentacles around every corner…

I loved the beta for this game, and judging from the demo the final version is terrific! Fun storyline, great graphics, and lots of extras in this CE, including collections of achievements. animals, and potions. And just when you're having fun, tentacles slither onto your path! This is my favourite in the series.
I recommend this game!

I found the demo for this game enjoyable as a pastime type of game, rather than an exciting one. Although I don't usually play Match 3 games, I found the mix of HO and Match 3 kind of fun, and the story line and challenge level was fine for this type of game. Good choice for game credit!
I recommend this game!

This is a good SE game, which I bought with a punch code credit. It has good voiceovers, and a nice look, and you collect inventory items in a number of different ways at the same time. I thought it would be too cute, and was surprised that I liked it more as the demo progressed. Good choice for a credit, particularly on a Monday!
I recommend this game!

I stopped the demo after 10 minutes, the game was just too dull to continue with. I think some players will really like the cartoonish drawing style, but I didn't. Way too much talking from uninteresting characters, and slow play just stopped this one dead in its tracks. I'm giving it a 2 rather than a 1 only because some might enjoy the graphic style.
I don't recommend this game.

After playing the demo, I found that I really admired the graphics and mini games etc., but wasn't all that involved in the storyline. Trying to pull a whole story from "there was a crooked man" is maybe the problem, but it is a pleasure to play and look at, with the usual CE additions.
I recommend this game!

The is the second entry in the Myths of the World series, and from the demo I would say that it is worth the CE price! Atmospheric story line and great graphics, plus lots of extras. I love the custom difficulty option, and the customizable outfits and environment for your pet! I never leave the tutorial on for games, but I did for the demo of this one, as there were features I hadn't seen before. Pleasure to play this game!

Wow! I didn't finish the demo for fear of falling asleep at my computer. Talky game with absolutely no challenge even at the 'hardest' level. Example: the objective is find Uncle Edward, and you do that by clicking on his house. Every time you find an object you use it almost immediately and the black bar you can't disable tell you exactly what to do. Also, pointless scenes where you see a new location and just more talk and no action.
I don't recommend this game.
