This is not an intuitive game and it is difficult to figure out what you are even trying to accomplish. When you hit the ? it just gives you a puzzle with a bunch of berries and shadows but I couldn't figure out what that was supposed to do either. It is challenging but not in a fun way because it is so hard to deciper. That's why I rated that part 2 stars. This is not typically my #1 genre. Maybe if it's what you play all the time it might make more sense but compared to other hidden object games I've played and enjoyed this one was just confusing and took way too long to figure out the basics. I personally would not buy it.
I don't recommend this game.

I'm not a huge hidden object fan but I play them when nothing else appeals to me, and I really liked this one. I read reviews and was intrigued. No, I did not find it scary or objectionable in any way. It was a little bit of several stories woven into one. The drawings were very nice and festive, the story was interesting and the figuring out parts were challenging but not so much that you wanted to do hints. The extra puzzles were not to my liking so I skipped most of those. If this is your preferred genre I would think you would really like it.
I recommend this game!
An amazing brain-jogging puzzle adventure for anyone ready to bring on the spirit of Christmas!

Did the developers actually play this - bad moving backgrounds

This is my 2nd favorite series of my favorite genre but this one has a fatal flaw. Apparently the developers didn't really play this after they placed the backgrounds. The constant fireworks exploding, snowflakes falling, etc. in the background was extremely distracting and unpleasant. I found myself so distracted I was making mistakes (which honestly I rarely do on these games). It was sort of like the water torture - drip, drip, drip, drip. You couldn't ignore it. Typically I would have bought this game but not this time.
I don't recommend this game.

With simpler solitaire games like the one up/one down type I like to have some other interest, like a story line and some other type of game thrown in - as in this case they do jigsaw puzzles. They aren't difficult but a nice little break. I found this one enjoyable enough to buy.
I recommend this game!

Once again mostly 3 colors and repeating the same patterns frequently - various monsters, ghosts, etc with little detail. It seems players repeatedly request that they label the image because it's not always easy to figure out what it is supposed to be and this game was not an exception. I've enjoyed playing previous versions more than this one and have bought several, but will not be buying this one.
I don't recommend this game.

Griddlers are my favorite game genre. I appreciate that the images were labeled because for me, the images were not particularly creative or well done. I did not care for the fact that when they made 25 square griddlers the squares were so small you could hardly be sure you were clicking the right one unless you were very careful. I only did the demo but the puzzles I played had mostly 3 and 1 had 4 colors. This one was just ok for me. Still prefer a couple of the others but people who like this kind of puzzle would probably want to at least try the demo.
I recommend this game!

For me, many of the HO games are too busy with other things than finding hidden objects. I played for an hour demo and didn't finish the game so not sure how long it really lasts for an average player. HO is not my first choice of games usually, so I may be slower than someone who always plays them. I did like this one. I didn't find it too dark too see the objects. I could easily read the list of items to be found - black ink on white background. I may buy it but hope that there is more to it based on the other reviews of how short it was.
I recommend this game!

This is a pretty simple nonogram. I didn't care for the "crystal" texture of the tiles. I finished the demo thinking it might get more complex. The pictures were also fairly simple when completed. I didn't find this a rewarding game to play but some might, which is why I gave an overall 3. If you are new to this type of puzzle you may enjoy it. I would not recommend it for the experienced player.
I don't recommend this game.

This is more for a child or tween. It is very easy with tons of power ups. The decorating advice is iffy for today's home, and the furniture so retro as to not really be enjoyable to put together. There are things you have to choose before you go on, like the wallpaper, and then the other items may not be a good match so you have to spend more to change them. Often the items you have to choose from do not offer a good option - for example maybe the sculptures all cover the paintings or none of the lamps seem to suit the room. You give your name to be the decorator but then the "assistant" does all the talking and just says "right NAME" so it really is not like you are the decorator - silly little thing but part of the "fail". I would not buy this.
I don't recommend this game.

This is a simple match 2 game, clearly translated to English from another language. I enjoyed it enough to play the demo hoping it would get more challenging but that was not the case.
I don't recommend this game.
