I am staggered/flabbergasted/stunned how anyone can give same old same old games 5 stars??
Come on you Game Developers I fully agree with what has been said "we get excited, buy game, with the hope something has changed but alas no. Even the story itself is same old, same old".
The world has these parks, would be really interesting to see different themes, different Ranges and dare I say it different mini games, so many different sights out in the world.
Right now though this game sitting at #10 is as old as stale bread. ((((((sorry))))))
I don't recommend this game.

Mediterranean Journey
Take a tour of the Mediterranean in this beautiful hidden object adventure!
Penn says not recommending game? If like her I had stuck with my PC Tower then yes I agree 100% with her reasons for not buying game but then I switched to my (gamer's) Lap-Top and it is so much better on that screen. So again try before you buy.
I like the other reviewers like these "type of games", bright, good music, at times pain in the butt trying to find the hidden guys even with the magnifying glass, but that is the aim of the game they are all hidden.
I now have 3 games no make that 4 games piled up like books of late, can't believe the turn-a-round - thanks.
I am with the other low rating - what next after the game tells you where to place the item, really what next - what fun or brain engaging is this? Have we a bug/glitch with this game?
This is a definite try before you buy as I am really not buying. Sorry.
With so many games of late and having deleted many of them in disgust it is very pleasing to see this one again; though normally by now I usually think "oh no, not again" but that never happens with this series. It really has it all but more importantly has no gloom and doom, no having to fetch this and that well so far it hasn't.
It's all been said here already but do try the demo yourself, though for now with me I need to finish the other "2 games" being the Golden Rails and Pixel 6 before I sink my teeth into this gem which is just what we need in the flooded wet zones.
Hooray someone has given us what we have been asking for and that's a game you can sink your teeth into and then "strewth is that the time" and this is it.
Game reminded me of "Next Stop" but is far superior to that one, which one would expect it to be, being that this one is a few years later than the other I just mentioned.
I used my free game for this as it is a fabulous, not boring, keeps you on your toes, there's more to this game than just grabbing food/wood/iron - just go grab the demo and have fun.
The game is bright, the game is not dark, the game does not intrude every other minute with those annoying bubble pop-ups. The "level of challenge" I have gone with the middle rating, hard to do this one as some scenes/levels it should be rated 5 and other levels rated 3 as some are more difficult to do.
The game lets you dive in and forget the woes of bush-fires wildlife etc that suddenly you are informed your freebie is over. *noooo* Long while since a game has caught me like this.
Off to buy while the super special is on. Oh do try demo first maybe it's what you need too.
I recommend this game!

Paradise Retreat
Complete a variety of puzzles while exploring lovely beaches. Can you solve this mystery!
Puzzled, can't fathom why the bad ratings? I in last few days finished Christmas Wonderland #5 and when reading those reviews the comments were the opposite, too noisy, too much clutter and so on. Now they have a game that's the opposite and still we are not happy? - Go figure! *BTW* These game types are not old fashioned, I know of a few places that do these for our Tablets/phones etc and thank goodness they do as some of us do not have time to sit around we only have timed-breaks or by days end so tired that all we really want is something simple to wind down with.
This game is bright, very clear, does NOT hurt the eyes at all and I would know as playing this on my powerful graphic/office/gaming lap-top. Very relaxing music that at times hardly hear it. No idea why so irritated by the butterflies as that's a good ploy, they actually stop you from yawning, they distract your eye/brain movement and sharpen up your focus again, yes very clever that! And some of those HIDDEN OBJECTS are really, really, really hard to find.
Well just used my free game credit and in closing try it out for yourself you may like it then again you may not.
Due to our catastrophic bush-fires and time on my hands because outdoor activity has been drastically reduced for our health's sake. I started playing Christmas Wonderland from the first game, wanting to see how they played (you know curiosity killed the cat) though the very first you can't play any more, well you can but nope not me.
Have just finished #5 and honestly I prefer this one than the last few you had released. Seems to be more effort and time spent on this one than the later issues. (#8 and up)
I really have been having the gut feeling far too many are rushing many of these games. I for one can't do that, you need to spend the time in each level, the clutter is for a reason, the junk as so many call these games, is hiding those stubborn hidden seek and find objects. On the days I can't find them in a relative time I just close game down and return another day and play one of the other earlier games in this series if time permits.
I don't think this game deserved the very low ratings it was given, just my humble opinion.
The 2 stars are for me for sticking with this, (oh how I hate saying this) boring game. I haven't even reached the end of the demo and cannot for the life of me figure why so many are giving this 5 stars. Must be so starved for games that anything will do at present time. Hip-hip finally others here are feeling same as me that I will now delete this game and carry on with the other that I bought a few days back.
Agree with Jayce here, this would suit young children with adult supervision because at times even they would find this one tedious.
I am in full agreement about the Game Forums here, as you BF know one of your games refused to work for me and I did head to Game Forums after I tried out a few things myself to get the game to work and no help there, why have they been dropped?
-------you move away from "copy-cut-paste" that's all this game was and you sure have become experts in this area by combining all 3 game titles (The Christmas, The Director. The Park) of all previous seasons. And I am over the same boring music that I would hardly call Christmas music and for a Christmas game you should at least once mention "Merry Christmas".
In fairness though there was a rare new scene here and there I think 1 new mini game everything else was just the same old, same old.
Should tell you how easy this game was as most finished it in a days sitting I am guessing by how fast the reviews went up? Were as I (and probably others) it has taken roughly 10 days, after the first 5 minutes I am yawning I finish one scene close down and move onto something more involved.
