I love the games with the twin investigators. The exciting plot of this game tells of a tragic father-son relationship, in the course of which the father commits incomprehensible crimes.
The graphics are nice to look at, the music is appropriate and we already know the characters from the previous games.
In the HOs, silhouettes are sometimes given as a guide or, as usual, can be found using a list. In others, the objects shown are to be inserted into free spaces, or objects are to be guessed at before they are found.
If you don't like the HOs, you can alternatively switch to the Match-3-mode.
The mini-games are well-mixed and mostly of moderate difficulty, with some even easy to solve.
The game has a reasonable playing time and you have constant tasks to do, so it doesn't get boring. It sweetened my rainy day.

...which gives Santa Claus a hard time. Thank goodness Santa Claus has put together a great team with you and other henchmen working to save Christmas.
I found the story exciting and above all of a nice length, you haven't experienced that lately. It took me 10 1/2 hours including the bonus part and I wasn't bored for a moment.
The graphics are really fantastic and the actors are beautifully animated as usual.
The background music is appropriate and pleasant.
The Hidden Objects were well blended and clearly discernible. Alternatively, you could switch to the 3-in-a-row mode. In the match 3 mode, I would have liked it if it had had a Christmassy theme as well. The mini puzzles were easy to moderate. Friends of sliding and labyrinth puzzles will get their money's worth.
The bonus part tells a separate story about Goldilocks and also had a satisfactory playing time.
Also hidden in the scenes were 15 Christmas socks, 15 Christmas decorations and 70 candy canes. The candy canes could be redeemed for decorations in your room after completing the bonus game.

The plot is divided into 3 episodes (plus one more in the bonus part) from the point of view of 3 different people.
A little love story is included, so that the romance is not neglected.
The graphics are just wonderful and the individual people are lovingly drawn. The background music is appropriate and not disturbing.
There is an option to switch to match-3 instead of hidden objects.
The mini-games weren't too difficult, so even beginners can get their money's worth.
I found the map and the hint very good this time, because a lot of items in the inventory had to be taken with you. It was easy to forget which item was needed at which location.
However, I was really disappointed by the abrupt ending of the game.
I suspect there will be a sequel, only to finally see a conclusive ending (possibly even a happy ending for one or the other couple involved?).
Until the end there is no reason to complain. I felt well entertained.

The plot is very reminiscent of the "Meridiem" part of the series.
You have to visit 3 worlds again to find the parts of the Spindle of Fade.
You can expect the usual beautiful graphics, very good-looking characters and pleasant background music.
Hidden object fans will get their money's worth, as will fans of strategic or sliding puzzles. The hint and map work perfectly and were very helpful because at times you had to carry around a significant amount of inventory items. What I already criticized about "Meridiem" is the duration of the game. It took me just 4 hours and would have wished for a slightly longer playing time for the price. The bonus part is also very short and doesn't justify buying the collector's edition.
Despite the negative points, I really enjoyed the game.

The Dark City games always guarantee the best entertainment. Again, there is instructive information about each sight, great graphics, nice-looking characters, pleasant background music, and best of all: an engaging storyline. This time you as Agatha (or as policewoman Brooks in the bonus chapter) chase the villain through three world metropolises: New York, Paris and London. Again, people from real history (e.g. the great illusionist Houdini) or fictional ones from literature (Dr. Jekyll, Inspector Lestrate) were included in the plot. It's not always true to the literature, but that's not essential for this story either. The story is always entertaining.
There are also nice HOs and the well-mixed mini-games aren't too difficult either. I really enjoyed the game and am looking forward to the next part.

this game was released. And I have to say, I had a lot of fun. An exciting and spooky plot, great graphics, suitable background music and beautiful and scary animated characters. There is also a very well-mixed smorgasbord of WBs and mini-games that are easy to moderately difficult to solve. Tip and map work perfectly and were very helpful. In addition, the main game had a very nice playing time, the bonus chapter could have been a little longer. But all in all I had nothing else to complain about.
I recommend this game!

The structure of the game corresponds to its predecessors, but it is always great fun to unlock the individual water worlds. What is always convincing is the almost epic length of the game with many special levels (e.g. mahjongg). It never gets boring and the best part is that you can pause it at any time and then continue playing later seamlessly. Even beginners are served here because the level of difficulty can be adjusted. I'm not exactly a big solitair player myself, but I can get excited about the game too. Here the fun is guaranteed for many, many hours and it is really money well spent.
I recommend this game!

Once again we have to pull out all the stops to fulfill the excessive desires of the work-shy magician Eric. I noticed that the level of difficulty increased from game to game. This is also the case with this game. It starts right at the beginning with the clearing of fields with a colored background and you have to be careful about the order in which you clear them. "Warm up" with easy levels is not. But if you've gotten through the other games in the series, you won't face any major problems. In addition to the usual mahjongg and solitaire interludes, a mosaic-like puzzle has now been added. Unfortunately, that's not my taste and I always click it away immediately. But that shouldn't detract from the fun of the game or the rating. Others will surely be happy about this novelty.
I recommend this game!

Just a collection of hidden objects and minigames, no real storyline, graphics are ok but nothing special. I quit after an hour because I wasn't enjoying it.
I don't recommend this game.

The Labyrinths of the World games always stand for absolute top quality. This game has the wellknown fantastic graphics, an exciting story, beautifully animated characters and a great background music. And everything is rounded off by varied hidden objects and a good assortment of mini-games. And - the game has a great game length! Took me over 8 hours. You can not ask for more.
