They've chosen to fill their clutter screens with a lot of browns and blacks this time around and it's really difficult for me to even see the boundaries of the objects, much less pick out the same ones. I liked the earlier colorful objects, these monotone ones not so much.
It's a really well made game and you can tell they put a lot of effort into thinking of new twists to keep things interesting but I regret buying this since it's so difficult to see.
Your mileage may vary depending on your vision, I guess. I grudgingly recommend this game.
I recommend this game!

I love horror movies and have watched them since I was a child but this game is so unrelentingly grim, I didn't finish it and deleted it off my computer.
For one thing, it's basically shades of brown throughout. The HOS were impossible to see things since they were all the same color... dirt.
For another, I don't need a game that shows me a corpse dissolving in acid or a rack of taxidermied faces from murder victims.
Lots of challenging puzzles if that's your thing.
Did not like.
I don't recommend this game.

Fun story, beautiful visuals and a couple of times, I actually got goose bumps. As I get older, it's harder to keep my attention on things but I was riveted during the entire demo. It's definitely worth a look.
I recommend this game!

I've played it and the bonus chapter three times in the past week and I've never done that with a game before. There's no running back and forth for 15 different keys, all the actions are logical and *not* frustratingly inane.
I think Collins was a fun addition and he kind of softened the lead's crankiness. I'm not fond of that voice actress but overall, she did a good job. The visuals are very pleasing, the puzzles and hidden objects are challenging but (again) not frustrating and there's a lot of good stuff in the bonus area. Just a really great game.
I recommend this game!

The artwork in this is some of the best I've seen but it's the faces of the characters that really impressed me. Very realistic with amazingly life-like expressions and I appreciate that they had more mature characters. The game play was fun, the story was very clever and I didn't lose interest the entire time I played which is unusual lately since my interest in HOGs has diminished over time. Just a really well made and visually lush piece of art that celebrates the season.
I recommend this game!

It's a beautifully made game and it's very challenging the further you go but part of that is stopping to collect resources before they disappear in a few seconds and the items don't pick up instantly, sometimes you have to "wave" over it again. If you've got lumber, food and several houses that are spitting out items, that's basically all you have time to do. I'm not very good at this genre anyway and I find this kind of frustrating.
There's no untimed play although you still get one star no matter how long you take. The narrator's level of enthusiasm diminishes with each loss of star so it felt like she was disappointed in me. DON'T JUDGE ME, GAME!
You expert players would probably love it though and it's well worth a look.

I'm really impressed with this game. Beautiful graphics, good story, very good voice acting, challenging game play without being frustrating or boring... there was even a transporter map. I look forward to seeing more of these if it's a series.
I recommend this game!

Is it creepy to admit you have a crush on an animated character? I couldn't remember which game the lovely Jack was in from last year and here he is again. I'm glad I played the demo for that reason alone but besides that, it's a beautiful game with a good story attached to it. Definite buy at full price because I want it NOW.
I recommend this game!

Game play is almost identical but the graphics are much different. Very pretty hand drawn art with beautiful woodwind music. I'm playing it on untimed and it's a very relaxing and enjoyable way to spend a lazy afternoon.
I recommend this game!

The stories are original and clever, the game play is really well done without being so hard it's frustrating and the artwork is pretty. I just spent an enjoyable afternoon playing this and I can't imagine a better use of my time. I hope there are more to come.
I recommend this game!
