This has to be one of the best games on BigFish. It is a bright light in a sea of Im sorry to say disapointments. I am a devoted gamer on this site and I have watched many of my beloved series on here go to crap but this one still stands tall. The story line is engaging graphics are excellent and if Im not mistaken they have even stepped up the difficulty of the puzzles. Congratulations 5-BN you are officially the only good devoloper left on this site.
I recommend this game!

I see a few negative reviews here but fear not BFG fans the series still holds all the magic and fun we all love with a cool new tale that doesnt disappoint. Graphics as always beautiful and the story intriguing with a mixture of two classic tales that I wont spoil in this review but are very satisfactory and engaging. The level of play is standard to this series not too vigorous so it stays relaxing but certainly not boring. My summation is that this is a series that they have not managed to ruin yet and this installment is a goodie. Proceed if you are a Living Legends fan with the knowledge that you wont be disappointed and happy hunting!
I recommend this game!

The most common theme of the dissapointed reviews as of late have been corrected by this game. The feel is different a bit of old adventure gaming with better graphics and game quality thrown in. Its like the games of 2012 that we miss and love but with all the advantages of being made in 2022. This is something different from the cookie cutter games that ruined most of our favorite series (MFC, Dark Tales ect) This reminded me of the Brother Rabbit game in feel, graphics and gameplay, which is awesome. No HOPA puzzles though sorry to disappoint the die hard HOPA heads but fun puzzle games and storyline. This game was for sure a breath of fresh air and I highly recommend it to my fellow weary and disilusioned Big Fish fans.

Ok BFG and Domini and GrandMa ect lets get back to what made these magical. I remember waiting for Weds and Fri with excitement because I knew a new and awesome adventure game was coming out on Big Fish. Back when Dark Parables, Mystery Case Files, Phantasam, Danse Macabre, Cadenza, Dark Romance, Living Legends, Dark Tales, New York Mysteries, Whispered Secrets, Grim Tales and Haunted Hotel ran the show and I want that same level of casual gaming experience brought back! It became repetitive and then everyone stopped trying. For those of us 9 to fivers who used these games to wind down and have something to look forward to this really sucks. This is a call to all developers not just Domini please bring us back our small joys and escapes.
I don't recommend this game.
Pendle Tower was once a lavish high-rise hotel, but a new renovation has awakened a long-dormant secret within its foreboding halls.

GrandMa is starting to get the hang of MCF. The puzzles are back which was a huge part of what made MCF MCF so that's good but the puzzles need to be improved they are too basic. I know this series will never be the same but GrandMa caught some of the old magic. The storyline sucked though. It was muddled and boring. We need a true creepy storyline and I think if GrandMa were to take cues from their own ever-burning candle game for this it would be great. I am not sorry I bought it though and I have my fingers crossed for even more improvements next time. I almost stopped buying this series which would have been heartbreaking but this game has given me hope.
I recommend this game!

This addition to the 5BN game collection is true to form so have no fear. The graphics, game play, story and puzzles have not been dulled down to suit new audiences like many developers have been doing. I think this one is actually a bit better than the first so on top of everything this series seems to be getting better and that is a good sign especially because the first was already great. Give it a shot before you listen to the nay-sayers because a lot of the negative reviews are coming from folks that don't like this kind of gameplay in the first. It is as you will expect out of this developer as always AMAZING!!
I recommend this game!

This is by far my favorite Holiday game so far this year. I am a total sucker for the Nutcracker story anyway and the developer worked the story into the game beautifully. The puzzles and HOPA weren't that hard but were full of Christmas magic and the silver lining was that they were fun to play with my daughter. The graphics were gorgeous and you can never go wrong with the traditional Nutcracker music. I am also a huge Friends 4 Friends fan and this game had the kind of feeling and look to it like the developers Living Legends ( One of my favorite series) games do. I really do hope they continue you to release a Christmas themed game every year. I highly recommend this game for fun with the whole family.
I recommend this game!

Ok I dont know if this opinion will be particularly popular but the Christmas Stories games are a key part of my holiday traditions every year and I'm starting to get disappointed. The last all around excellent game in this series was the Magi one in 2016. They have been phoning it in more and more as the years have progressed. The mini games and HOPA have been getting more and more basic and finally starting this year the story line has started to really suck. The graphics though still beautiful even seem to be losing that brilliant Christmas shine that we all love so much. I know that this series has been a big part of my daughter and I's Christmas fun every year and I am pleading with the developer to please restore that special shine and holiday fun that my family so looks forward to every year.
I don't recommend this game.

I have been very dissatisfied with the last few Grim Tales games which was lame because it is definitely a favorite series of mine.This game resurrected my love of them. The story was interesting and well put together. Mini games in this installment were not exactly run of the mill and had a bit of challenge to them.There also was just the right amount of HOPA although those could have been a bit more challenging. I haven't liked a Grim Tales this much since Grey Witch. The only thing I would change is to make the seek and find a little more intricate like they used to be. All and all though I don't have any buyers remorse and will more than likely play it again and am again looking forward to future additions.
I recommend this game!

This was a disappointment on MCF standards. I actually love Grandma games and collect most of them but this series is a super loved one and needs to be done the right way. A huge draw to this game is the intricate puzzles and the puzzles in this version hit way below the mark of what is expected from MCF. Also the look is wrong this series is supposed to be dark and kind of weird and this was all the bright and sparkle that dominates the other games from Grandma. I will say that the story was a good one though it was tied into the other games a lot more clumsily than I'm used to from these games and it made me wish the same story was used but with a different developer. If the series is no longer being handle by Epix then it should have been passed back to Elephant games who did a beautiful job with Fates Carnival. I really hope the next one is more up to snuff. This is one of the games I know many people myself included look forward to all year.
I don't recommend this game.
