This game was not for me. It has a variety of puzzles but it seemed every other one was a "find the differences" which I do not enjoy. There were also quite a few swap the pieces to complete the picture which are ok but not my favorite. There were jigsaws which I enjoyed. The main thing though was hidden object - the type where there is a picture and you just have to find the items listed. Problem is, I am not familiar with the words such as find a Stupa, Caseta, Katana, Narmer, Binocle, Sistre, Ammonite, and Boom (which was a fletched arrow). I didn't know the language so I couldn't even ask for a translation. Try it for yourself but it's a no for me.
I don't recommend this game.

When you see the preview it is black and white so you don't know the color palettes until you choose the picture to paint. I chose something that looked interesting, atlhough I wasn't quite sure what it was. Based on the 15 minutes I had to try the game it will be a no buy for me as the picture was very monochromatic, thus not enjoyable to color. I'm guessing that might be a problem throughout but I'm not going to buy it to find out.
I don't recommend this game.

Not for me. I play to relax and the title led me to believe this one might work, but it was NOT relaxing. They used the same scenes over and over, which is boring. The level of clutter would bring a normal household under scrutiny by the health department. Things were tiny and there were piles and piles of items to try to seach through, Some of the scenes you had to find items by a very small picture piece rather than the full item. This one has already been uninstalled!
I don't recommend this game.

I guess it depends on your mood, Today, I found this tedious so I felt like I was playing quickly but in an hour only got to complete about 65% of one picture. The colors were nice and the picture was cute but when you colored it and then made it small enough to look at the whole picture it was all blurry so that was a big con. There is very little challenge other than to color inside the squares! No story so I didn't have the sound on.
Not for me.

If you already are very familiar with the bible stories it might feel like it moves a little slowly. This is a bunch of subgames, a number of which I did not personally enjoy. This might be a nice way to play with a child starting to learn the bible to make it come to life some. I would say to at least give it a try, especially if the story of creation appeals to you or you'd like to share it with a young person. I recommend you try before buying though.
I recommend this game!

This type of game is usually not my favorite, but this was an exception for me. Game play was smooth, art was very nice and if you got stuck you could get a valuable assist. The theme was fun and different, and there was a lot of variety in the mini-games. NO mahjong. Yay! I will likely buy but maybe wait for the "regular" edition as I don't usually find that collector's editions offer much extra for twice the price.
I recommend this game!

This was a very enjoyable Match 3 from the Amanda series. My only con is that it could be slightly more challenging but otherwise it was fun and a probable buy for me.
I recommend this game!

I didn't hate this game but I didn't love it. I found it very difficult to do certain things. One example, "find the matches", there was a crumbled up piece of brown paper which was unidentifiable as anything in particular and it was a "match" with a plain white folded piece of paper. That got tediuous and it happened a lot with various items. In other cases you were to "identify" items from a tiny sample and in some cases that looked nothing like the actual thing if/when you found it. Then almost all the activity takes place in two locations and they have all the same stuff to find, although it does ask for different items in some cases, always looking at the same scenes was boring. I didn't hate it but I would not buy it. And why do all these games include mahjong? Wonder if anyone realizes a lot of us HATE mahjong and want whatever the game is supposed to be instead. Maybe a lot of folks have expressed love for those????
I don't recommend this game.

or snakes, or flowers or whatever. Always pretty much the same. The finding part is no challenge and "find the differences", IMO, is one of the most deadly boring types of game. I kept looking for something more fun but that was not to be. I actually thought mahjong was the most boring but I've learned otherwise. I really disliked this.
I don't recommend this game.

This game is super simple and has no particular point. I wondered why it was only a 15 minute demo and I've rarely seen that. In this case, when you start the game it shows that it has 25 levels and by the time I completed the demo I had completed 14 or those levels so it is a VERY short game. I wouldn't recommend but if you have a little one who likes to play, check it out
I don't recommend this game.
