This game has an aspect of paint by number. The positives are that the music is relaxing; overall, it's a decent game. The pictures are stunning. The negatives are that the detail and colors do not match what is painted- it drives me bonkers when painting comes with shades and transition tones that do not match the color of the painting. The other thing is the 50 shades of the identical color, yet there is no variation when you paint. The other thing I am not a massive fan of is that when zooming in, all the colors disappear after the painted area/section is complete, and you have to toggle the controls to make the colors reappear. Lastly, I hope that after you paint, you can use it as a wallpaper on your screen. When exploring the twenty-six paintings, you have no idea what the artist is painting until it is complete, so I knocked off a star.

I could not stand this game. Every little thing you have to click on. I did it easily, but I could not keep up, and I made it to level 5. I requested no timer, but I could barely make it to level five, and overall, the time thing killed me! No Thank you

I usually do not play these types of games. However, playing them without worrying about time was enjoyable. The tutorial is very insightful and does assist in making the game fun. At each level, the object is to make houses, build production, and meet goals before advancing. The side quest games allow you to add boosters that help speed production, build more homes, and upgrade. I played in the non-timed mode, so the game was relaxing versus the stress of time. Overall, the game did not have any glitches and ran smoothly.
I enjoyed this game. I usually am not the biggest fan of fantasy, but the challenging side games and HOPS are so unique and fun that I truly enjoyed this game. I believe this one is a keeper. The art is beautiful, and the dangerous mushrooms of extra objects found bring a variety. I loved the characters; they are way too cute!

The artwork is beautiful, the hops are fun. My only beef was the side game with the fish; it just would not work. It was super frustrating, and my trial ended. But overall a great game.
This game is truly amazing and beautiful! The artwork, acting, and music are stunning. The only reason I docked one star is one of the side games had a hiccup where I had to skip it..Which was frustrating. A player will see this when they come to the bear. Other than that, I definitely want this in my library!

This game was part of an early release demo. With few to few errors, the audience is more children learning to read as there are four modes: regular words, picture, scramble, and mirror mode. The mirror mode is when the identity is flipped, and the words are backward. This game, in particular, is not my cup of tea, as there is no variety. It is simply a search and finds, and within the hour, I could get to page 6 within the allotted time, so for this, it is just the type of game I would pass on versus playing.
This game is interesting as this was the first time playing the Paranormal Files series. The "Fatal Flaw" is definitely how condescending some of the mini-games were. Honestly, one does not need a picture to solve a four-piece puzzle. This is just one example of how easy the mini-games were and the reason the dock of one star. However, the game flow was interesting, and the hidden object scenes were different, which provided enough of an enjoyable challenge.

If an individual enjoys puzzles, then this game fits the build. Several modes are offered, and there are options of 42-1008. There are also several levels of difficulty. One thing that is an option is also the style. Eight categories have themes: animals, assorted, fantasy, landscapes, love, sealife, travel, and visual art. The artwork is stunning and, when completed, makes a spectacular background for the computer. It was a delightful game overall.

This game has docked two stars for the following reasons. The first is when zooming in, the scroll feature is not available to fill in the number, making it difficult to see and finish without using the "?" symbol to complete the picture. The other reason is that some colors are not varied enough to justify a different number to paint. It is a great concept and very relaxing with calming music that after a day of work would not be bad to relax with. Each Painting took me over the time limit allotted for the demo, so the player might enjoy the challenge and detail, but it takes longer than expected for each painting.
