The story line is good, the scenes are pretty, but the mini games are hard to figure out. I tried and tried but did not get anywhere, so, I skipped them. When you do this, it takes away from the game play. I used the map and the hint button a lot because there was so much back and forth play. Once again, if you are going to have casual games, then the mini-games should be casual, also.
I recommend this game!

I have never played ND before, and now I know why. Too much talk and not enough play. Boring and complicated. Give me HOG's any day.
I don't recommend this game.

After playing the trial game, and two reviewers who said the game was easy, I bought the CE game. It definitely is NOT an easy game. It gets confusing and the mini-games are unsolvable, While EIPIX makes good games, none of them are really easy. If you are good at strategy and forward thinking, then this game is for you, but not me. Since I bought the game, I will finish it. I might try to play it a second time. But, maybe not.

I did not see the collectors edition of this game so I bought the $6.99 game. I am now playing this game in the custom mode for the second time. Bound By Wishes, in and of itself, is a good game, But, I had to skip three mini-games because I could not figure them out. I do recommend this game because the more I play (except for the mini-games), the further I can go without help.
I recommend this game!

I started liking this game, at first. Then I started getting mini-games that I could not figure out. There is a lot of going back and forth, so that isn't fun, either. I did my usual routine. I look at reviews, play the trial game, buy the game, then find out it isn't so easy after all. Casual is supposed to be a little easier than the other options, but they are not. Keep trying and you might finally get it right. CASUAL games are CASUAL, and not hard to figure out. I only recommend this game because there are much smarter people out there in game land, than me.
I recommend this game!

I had a hard time with this game. The trial game was okay, at first. After I got it and played further it got harder and harder. I cannot finish the game however, because I cannot finish the Maze.
So, once again, money wasted.

The game is okay, but if you make a mistake you have to go ahead and skip the puzzle because there isn't a reset button.
So, that takes away from the game. (The alchemy puzzle).

I played the trial version of this game and thought, okay, I can play this. Wrong. I have not finished the game, yet, but I am ready to start over. The game is confusing, with a lot of back and forth play. The hint button will help, but you have to use it after almost every move. I do not understand why the casual or custom mode have to be so difficult when they are supposed to be easy to figure out.

I tried the SE of this game thinking I could figure it out. No way.
It was too confusing. Sometimes I buy the SE editions because I cannot afford the CE. There is no way I am going to waste a
good game code on this game. It is terrible. Once again, if the easy part is hard, what is the hard game like. ugh

I tried the trial game and thought okay, I'll get it. Big mistake.
I like Eipix games to a certain degree. They start off well enough then they start getting hard, then harder. There are only about 4 games that I have purchased from Big Fish that I can play without having to use the hint button. Two of those are two of the Marathine Series. I have often wondered since the custom games are hard (and they are), I would hate to play a medium or hard game. They have to be more frustrating than what I have. While I am not stupid, I do have trouble reasoning some things out and these so-called custom or easy games don't help. So no, these games aren't fun. They turn into work. In fact, I get so frustrated I have to
stop the game just to get a breather. If game developers want to make easy games, make them. I have found that easy or custom games are not easy at all. I only recommend this game because there are people out there with skills to play this game.
