It's better than Tinderbox! But not as great as Cinderella.

Well I finish the game and now I'm doing my grading.
Music: It's actually really. Good heard some of my Mexican/Spanish root in a game at all that isn't right in your ear. 10/10
Music: It's actually really. Good heard some of my Mexican/Spanish root in a game at all that isn't right in your ear. 10/10
Visual: Despite not traveling around the world areas like the past few games, I'm so happy that we're just exploring one place like in the very first couple of games. 10/10
Voice-acting: Got me fooled on who was villain so that's a plus. 10/10
Story: I think this is the first time we've ever gotten a A plot and a B plot and alot of people won't take it easily since in the first 16 games there hasn't been any A/B plots like this. I'm not saying it's bad but next time a warning. Just get ready for some twist and turns. 5/10
HOPs: No fair! Some of the items are so small you can't even see them! Good luck with that. 10/10
Puzzles: I only had to skip 2 because there was no reset button. Don't know if that's a bug or not but they're really fun. 10/10
Replay value: If you don't mind redoing your name over and over, then enjoy it. It's better than Tinderbox in my opinion, but it's not as great as Cinderella or Snow Queen. 8/10
Bonus game: A little confusing at first so we've never seen this villian before and we just open a whole new can of worms somehow, it's a but of a 50/50. If you enjoy it great, but in my opinion, you might have to play it a couple of times to get the idea. 18/20
Bugs and Crashes: From my perspective none
Extra: If you're into anime and you'll get some nice easter eggs in the Dark Parables notebook art. If you look at the adult Black Swan that's looking at the adult princess, I swear it's a dead ringer for Sebastion from Black Butler and another is during the credits where the kid black swan is playing the violin, he looks like Ciel from the same anime. Try and see if you can fine more cause it got me smiling when I found them. 2+
So after all this, the grading is: 83% which made it a B-. Like I said it's my opinion but at least it's better then Tinderbox.
I recommend this game!

Now, this is just me but when I played this game, I have to admit, it was really fun. the puzzles were great, the art was really good, not much of a fan of the occult since I'm Catholic but the atmosphere it was really a great game. But here's my beef: I got lost a lot and by the end of the game, I lost half the secrets in the game now there was a walkthrough or a guide but you have to log out of the game to get to it and it wasn't as descriptive as the past games that I played. Now if it was there I would've gotten all of the secrets and lay off the skip and hint button by 97%. Do I think it's a bad game? No. Is a good game? Other then my beef I liked it. I just don't want to play it again sadly, but I will recommend it to those that would want to play till the end and make up your own mind. So take my review with a grain of salt and see for yourself if you want to use the points on this game or not.
I recommend this game!

I know I complain in silence that the older games repeat the enemies and I would say, please give me something new, but now I regret it. This game is short, short, short. Take my advice: would save your money and points and watch the walkthrough on YT instead of playing. It's not really worth it. PLEASE let this be the last game and PLEASE give us a proper timeline of all the games cause now it's all over the place
I don't recommend this game.

So it's here! Goldilocks and the 3 bears. At first I was laughing when I did my review on YT and thought it was going to be lame. Boy was I wrong! The landscapes are very beautiful it looked like something you see on Game of Thrones. We see old and new characters though one of the old you won't really work with until the bonus game so regular edition is out of the window. As for our new character, we got Goldilocks. Think of her as double agent until you play the game. And sadly this game doesn't tie in with Fable Legends. I thought it would since it involve the golden touch but then we got the answer when we meet the Moon Goddess' sister. And lastly, I think Eipix/BlueTea actually made a female version of Ultron that looks more scarier then the actual dude. You'll see what I mean when you play the game.
Music: though soft, it's suttle so no headaces. 10
Visual: Very beautiful. Yeah a jump here and there(There's spider legs) but not as blurry in a snow landscape. 10
Mood: Not boring what so ever. 10
Voice acting: On par with the old and the new when it comes to the mood of the characters. 10
Story: Foot in mouth when I though that the Goldi game was going to suck. I was wrong all the way cause this game was better then the fable. 10
HOPS: Some are harder to find then usual and I think that's a good thing, but you're going to get used to the hint button alot until you get used to the locations. 10
Puzzles: HARD AS HECK!! Big plus. 10
Replayvalue: Do I really need to fill it out? 0
Bonus game: MAJOR SPOILER! We got one more Golden Child. At first I thought that Gerda was dead, but she's not so don't worry. I think when a kid is born on said moon night(DP3) a golden child is born so we're going to get more then one GC. So for now we got 2 until future games.10
Bugs: 0 Thank god
Crashes: 0 Thank god!!
Extra: We get some through backs to DPs favorite games though now I think there's someone following the detective and is making stories without permission and there's 3 of them so look out of them since they're part of a puzzle. +3
So I got 93% making it an A. GET THE GAME!! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! Oh and if you want to know the hint of the next game: Black Swan. It doesn't get any clearer then that cause WE'RE FINALLY HITTING WIFE NUMBER 5!
I recommend this game!
Travel to a mysterious city and save your love from an ancient curse. Solve perplexing puzzles and explore colorful locations in "Dracula’s Legacy".

As soon as I was loading the game, it crashed and it killed my computer. I was lucky enough just to play a half hour of it before I finally had enough. Though I did see some of the animation, it's just not up to code for a first timer likes these guys. If you don't believe me, try this game for yourself and it does work, save your tokens cause somehow this game doesn't know common sense.
I don't recommend this game.

Though this story of beauty and the beast, doesn't have other legends like Cinderella, I can see that this first Beauty and the Beast story is a good one and it is well made. We again work with the Red Riding Hood sisters but this time we meet a new member. It's your job to stop a corrupted Sandman, or Queen of Sands if you will, from turning the townspeople into living nightmares. There's no enchanted rose, the hourglass is basically a symbol of 'time is running out'. Oh and we do have a helper in this game like before. Here is my hint: As a woman I love crystals, though I never look in the mirror, but my sword always reigns true.
Visual: Less is more when it comes to detail and it doesn't fail me. 10/10
Mood: Suspenseful in everyway. 10/10
Music: Matches the mood to a T. 10/10
Voice-acting: It matches all the characters but there was one that sorta gave away on the old lady. But I'm blaiming it on a bad mic. 9.5/10
Story: Stop complaining about Eipix. Yes I know there's no other Beauty and the Beast stories but have you ever though that this might be the very first one? 10/10
FROGS: Well not all things are too small for me to see, but it does take time to find them all. 10/10
Puzzles: Had to skip a couple cause they were too hard. BIG PLUS!! 10/10
Replayvalue: 0/10
Bonus game: In the past we don't see any connection from one bonus game to the other. This one does. Not only it's a prequal to the main story, it also connects to 'Hansel and Gretal' before it even happens. Yeah there's no spider but the good thing is, this tale of the fable makes more sence the actual fable. 20/20
Added points:
Achievements: Less is more so no rediculous ones to find. Keep that up Eipix. 1/1
Achievements: Less is more so no rediculous ones to find. Keep that up Eipix. 1/1
Bonus video: For those that love 8-bits you're going to get a good laugh. 1/1
Collections: Don't worry about not finding all of them. This time, and probably the first time Eipix ever did this was that you can click back, if there's an empty circle, and go back to the scene and find the missing collector. 1/1
Before the grade was 89.5 but with my bonus points it's now up to 92.5 a perfect A and no powerstruggle this time. It's now a 50/50 of both BlueTea and Eipix. And I ask again fans, please stop blaming Eipix about sharing DP with BT. I honestly think they asked them to help is to that Eipix can polish it so there won't be bugs. You have to admit there were some in the old games before.
This is is my gade and here's my hint for DP10 and I this will make you laugh once you know what it is: In the very earliest editions of this fairytale, the home intruder gets punished by it's 3 inhabitants all because she ate their food, broke their chairs, and didn't made the bed.
I recommend this game!

I don't know about you guys but I saw alot of refrences to the Phantom of the Opera in my opinion. This guy is an illusionist, a magician, he lit the house on fire, and he has returned as a ghost. Now unfortunely I can't get this game cause the Dangerous Game before this isn't my forte, but I would gladly take this game and lable it as Chapter 1 or something. The puzzles are great, the HOPs are great, the story is great and I'm excited to see how it ends. Unfortuntly I can't give me grade but as a gamer and as a phantom-phan, I say play the demo and if you like or love it get the game to see how it ends and if you can spot more refrences.

I will admit something, I was really scared that Eipix was taking over DP. I thought that BTG sold their rights or just faded away since they never updated Face-book, but now I'm calm since they're still working on their masterpiece. They just need someone to polish it and that's where Eipix comes into the picture. Both teams did a fantastic job connecting the dots not only in some of the adaptations of the Little Mermaid, but also one of the wives of the Frog Prince as well. And there's another surprise which I WILL not spoil for you, but here's the clue: In the past game, we witness a death. Then a few days later, we found the body. We never brought it back for a proper funeral unless you want to go there at night. Oh and another hint to know who your ally is: He married a damsel in distress and his mother was once a villain.
The Good:
Visual: The kingdom under the sea is so beautiful I want to be a mermaid. 10/10
Visual: The kingdom under the sea is so beautiful I want to be a mermaid. 10/10
Mood: somehow calm but gets your heart pumping when the time is right. 10/10
Music: Great when it needs to be. Swear I thought I heard a villain version of 'Part of Your World'. 10/10
Voice-acting:NO BUGS WHAT SO EVER!!! 10/10
Story: Nearly the best part of the game and you will love the twist. Just don't get too surprise or you'll never finish it. 10/10
FROGS: This time a challenge took me about 5 minutes each to find all the small ones in sections and I already have bad eyes. 10/10
Puzzles: Got another challenge and it big improvement. 10/10
Replayvalue: Since eipix had taken over, 50/50, I think we can finally play over and over to get the rest of the achievements. 10/10
The final verdict is a 100% A+. Blue Tea Games, I'm sorry that I've been giving you a hard time when I saw the beta. But I think this partnership with Eipix is the right thing to do and maybe with their help, they can help you on continuing you other series as well. Please don't screw this up either of you. Now I'm guessing you, the gamers, are wonder what is the hint of the next game. Well to by honest there's no hint at the end of the game, but I did see something that would make a lot of people happy and I'm hoping I'm right of what it is. Here's the hint: The most beautiful love story ever told.
I recommend this game!

Bonus game: A bit of a disappointment since it was the game was a bit short. But it does make some of it up since we got a legend and not a myth. Bluebeard. Doesn't really help much but at least see how events came to pass. 15/20
That Bad:
1. Again not a big fan of achievements. This time. Eipix took over the achievements. They're not so stupid but that's my opinion. -1

2. Not a fan of hidden achievements such as find all 6 tea-cups and find 3 Felix the fish. Mostly cause they weren't in the guide and there's going to be some who will destroy their computers if they fail. -1
The final verdict is a 93% A-. Blue Tea Games, I'm sorry that I've been giving you a hard time when I saw the beta.

Oh my god. This is a good game. You can't really turn your self away and even though it felt like an hour and a half, it took me 3 hours to do. You have Rapunzel, Kai, Gerda(10 years later), Snow White, her brother Ross, and everything. And for those that thought the the kid in the demo was Gothal, big surprise she isn't.
The Good:
Visual: The most beautiful sernery ever since the last game and Cursery 10/10
Visual: The most beautiful sernery ever since the last game and Cursery 10/10
Mood: Suspence and minor surprises 10/10
Voice-acting:Big improvement come the Sapranos sentence cuts and it fits the characters really well. 10/10
Story:Takes sometimes to put the pieces together but after a while it becomes less predictable and there are some surprises 10/10
FROGS: Too easy but hard on some of them 9/10
Puzzles: Too easy on some and others I had to go on guid for 9/10
Replayvalue: STOP MAKING US SIGN IN EVERYTIME WE WANT TO PLAY AGAIN!!! It's getting so annoying that now we can't stand it 3/10
Bonus game:Surprise surprise we get the prince from Snow Queen how a full grown man and he's hot. Also we got a true back story on 2 certain stories. Spoiler for one, flying monkies. 16.5/20
That Bad:
1. I'm not a big fan of achievements since they're my pet peeve but next time leave a hint on where we forget to find a shifted object or at least leave that one out and no achievement where we have to find ALL the pop-up notes cause there's going to some we're either going to skip or ignore. -2

2. I'm also not a fan of choice endings and if I do choose one, at least leave the other 2 open so I can see what I could've pick, not rewite myself in and play the WHOLE game again to see the endings. -5
3. Finally fix some of the bugs. There arn't many like last time, maybe 2 or 3, but they're getting a but noticable now here and there. -1.5
Overall, I'm giving this a 93% A-. A great game but in order to be a master you have to replay this a few times in order to get ALL the achievements and to not get lost more often then you should. Oh and before I forget, we got a hint for the next gam,e though we got it a lot early in my opinion. All I'm going to say is I hope you guys, as the detective, can swim.
I recommend this game!
