I found the scenes and finding all the various animals enjoyable. Pretty pictures, just enough challenge for me to be fun instead of frustrating. I plan to buy.

I'm not a big HO game fan but I do like this type. For me this game would have been a 5, except for errors and glitches. It didn't hurt that I lived in the Bay area for about 20 years so it was a fun revisit. I found that they called a macaron - macaroni and they call a great blue heron a stork and there seemed to sometimes be "prerequesites" for clicking. For example, I would see the handpump on the list and click on it but it wouldn't work until I clicked another correct object first. Problem is they don't tell you that and sometimes you got the right thing but that makes you unsure if you did.
I love the relaxtion of coloring games like Art by Numbers and Art Coloring, but this one is lacking. The colors are mostly pretty monochromatic, the subjects are boring - kitten, umbrella, single flower, teddy bear, etc., all with no backgrounds and so pixelated that they only sort of look like the item. Also lacking the ability to count how many of a number you have left which, for me, makes the coloring games more fun. Also, when you choose a number to color they sort of highlight it but with all the shades of gray - as many as there are numbers, it doesn't help find the number you want. A no buy for me.
I'm not at all big on the HOPs or Time Management games, so when something else comes along I am happy to see it. I found this an enjoyable game. Yes it is like others - not much way to change these games up - but I still find it relaxing and fun. Keep 'em coming Big Fish! As always, I just suggest you try before you decide.
I found this game enjoyable. Challenging enough to be fun but not so challenging as to be frustrating. I'm of Norse descent so that made it fun for me too. I know some people like misc. games thrown in, but so often it is mahjong which I don't enjoy so I was happy to just have match 3 play for a change. I bought this game.
I like the solitaire games like this that challenge you to find specific gold cards to win. Otherwise it is like most up/down solitaire games. People complain that it is the same as always but that's kind of the nature of the game IMO. Try it for yourself.

I enjoy the paint by numbers games but I agree that the pictures could be more interesting and the colors could definitely be better. One of the things that showed up in the demo was a group of daisies in many shades of gray with a yellow center. The first page is simplistic but subsequent pages are more interesting. That's the great thing about being able to play a demo - you can decide for yourself if those things that bother others in the game also bother you!

I've always enjoyed all of the games with the Walkers and this one is no exception. I was surprised this one came out so quickly and for me, it was as enjoyable putting order back in the universe as always. Probably a buy for me.

or just doesn't care. They seem to love monochromatic designs - I guess it is quicker and easier for them - but for me, coloring a necktie, childish locomotive and possibly a pine cone or rose all in shades of tan and brown just was not enjoyable for me. The developer should include very simple requests like a counter for each color and/or a variety of colors and MUCH MORE interesting designs. Definitely a no buy for me on this one. Please improve these games. They have potential but fall way too short!

This is not a "new release". It is a re-release with all scenes identical to the game from last year. I can't say for sure that they request you find the same items but otherwise this was a dissapointment since replaying a game is not my first choice. Certainly would not buy it - again! As a result this was really not fun at all for me. If you didn't play/buy last year's you might like this.
