Finally a Match 3 that is not simply a clone of others. It is pretty challenging but not too hard. The graphics are beautiful, the story line is good fun and even the music is enjoyable.
There is a timed mode and a relaxed mode - which you can change with every level. Thus even the beginners will not be frustrated. :)
Warning: it is addicting and I started seeing ghosts, frogs and bats when closing my eyes...

Return once more to the haunted grounds of Ravenhearst Manor to uncover new details about this poignant saga. What you find could very well be the final chapter of this riveting story-if you escape.

... but by the time I reached the Hospital I really started to dislike the game.
The graphics are great, I enjoy the morphing object scenes, nice mini games, too - so I really liked the first chapter. So much so that I bought the game.
But as soon as I came to the Hospital fun was over. Yes, we were warned. But still, does a game have to be this disgusting? I found the scenes involving pregnant women (even though you pretend they are dummies, they are far too realistic!) and babies especially disturbing and in my opinion there is no need for horrible and revolting stuff like that.
Up to this game the developers of the MCF series managed to make really great games, games, that can be enjoyed by everyone, no need for a warning since you won't be disturbed. Why don't stick to that concept? Why cross the line?
I'm afraid I cannot recommend the game even though it is basically really good but my fun was totally spoiled.

This is one of the games where an interactive map would have been a great help. There is a map involved but it is not interactive. So most of the time is actually wasted on walking back and forth, back and forth, up and down, up and down... again and again. Since most of the locations have the same overall dark look I got really confused. Like 'well, let me think, there was a fitting box somewhere in a dark dungeon but which one was it...'
In the end I did not even finish the game since it seemed that I missed one of the book pages and simply did not want to search over all of those locations again.
Talking about locations - this game is said to be situated in England - why then get so many details wrong and why do the actors have that broad american accent...
The minigames are a bit too easy, even for my taste. The more complicated ones require a lot of clicking action but that's it. Endurance tests rather than anything else.
The hint option is not really helpful. All you get is 'well, there is nothing to explore here anymore'. Great. Without a walkthrough I would have been completely lost several times.
Sorry, developers, I've played better games made by you. This one did not get your full attention, it feels kind of sloppy. Don't know if I want to recommend it or not.
However, the graphics are quite nice and the idea of the game is good, too. So, yes, recommend it for some entertainment. But don't expect too much.

I really like the overall look, nice and crisp graphics and not too dark and gloomy.
The story line is somewhat strange to me, don't really get it.
The story line is somewhat strange to me, don't really get it.
What I do find a bit irritating are the completely illogical actions required in this game. Yes, they occur in every game but here are just a bit too many of them here. Why extinguish a fire with orange juice (what a waste)? Why does a dog lie down to suffer from smoke when as soon as you've done something about the smoke the dog runs away?
Could add a lot more to this list...
Please, game developers, keep some reason in the actions and tools used. Don't make us groan too much...

Still recommend the game since it is nice and relaxing for a couple of hours.

... but a boring one. Nothing new here.
The usual difficulties like unmatchable stones and chained pieces. The usual tiles that have to be turned. The usual power-upgrades. Seen it all before.
Which needs not to be a bad thing, but then at least the story line and the graphics should be smashing and fascinating. They are definitely not.
As much as I like match three and Egyptian themed games, this one is definitely not going to be on my list.

... by the way... Horus is a falcon, so don't provide that ugly princess with swan-ish wings...

Since I really enjoyed playing the Kingdom Chronicles I thought I give this one a try. But compared to Kingdom Chronicles this one is rather disappointing in my opinion. The story line is less fun, the controls are not as advanced and the animations are a pretty boring.
So sorry, I just did not like it. Maybe I would if I had tried it the other way round...

Played the demo first and when I saw the offer this weekend I could not resist and bought the CE version. ;o)
Pretty addicting, nice story line, great graphics (the soundtrack could have been better but never mind), for me exactly the right level of challenge.
Lots of fun!

Overall this is a nice, relaxing hidden object game with a catching story line. Beautiful, colourful graphics with lots of details.
The objects are hidden in classical hidden object scenes as well as fragmented objects along the way.
What I found a bit tedious is that you have to revisit the same hidden object scenes again and again and again. Even the object variety is not that big: snails, swords, drums, butterflies, cups, same things over and over again which in the end becomes a bit boring.
Nice mini games in between though with a couple of them I completely failed to understand the object of the game - luckily there is a skip button.
Another flaw is that the cut scenes are so fast that even a fast reader cannot catch the whole text. Pity.
Without these minor issues I would have given this game five stars since it is hugely enjoyable.

Since I really enjoyed the first 4 Elements I had to give this one a try and liked it a lot. Especially since it has an untimed option, if you just want to relax. The graphics are so nice that it is a pity there is nearly no chance to admire them since you are so busy with the game play.
If you like match 3 games, I totally recommend this one. Great fun factor! Challenging or relaxed. Just as you like it.

This in my opinion is one of the best games around. Extremely beautiful, amazing artwork and fun to play.
I could write a lot more but the best you can do right now is download and enjoy!
