This game is by far the best I've played in a long time.
Just when I lost heart to the expected, generic cookie-cutters of late, this game brought back hope: the story, graphics, HOGs, puzzles, collectors' items, and overall length fit the bill and reminded it of the high-quality of older games. Expect to find more than 2-3 searchable nooks in every scene, and take some time to really explore this beautiful game and the efforts that had been put into creating it. Just as the title of my review states-- Exceptionally Executed & Highly Recommended!

Finally, a game dedicated to Hidden Object Games! To be honest, I don't usually leave reviews but I had to in this case. Don't let other people's reviews of this game cloud your mind. Give this new format a go (check the demo)!
If you're a seasoned player like me who misses the old, hidden-object-focused games, make sure to try out this game. We need to bring back some of the qualities old games were known for in terms of length and content. Enough with cookie-cutters and 4.5 hours long games. This one leaves the template, offeringa unique format that combines the old with the new. Kudos to the developers!

I just love playing the solitaire games from the Avalon series! They feature great graphics, beautiful music, numerous levels and many powerups which can be attained at any time in the game, even during levels. The city building is also a great feature, just keep in mind that after level 200+ or so you may run out of buildings to construct, but the income keeps coming!
If you like this game, don't forget to play the the sequel, "Avalon Legends Solitaire 3."

For those of you who like sleuthing while playing solitaire-- this is just the game for you! Twisting plot, different card game modes and gradual progression towards solving a case involving a murdered bride. I also recommend the first game in this series, called "Double Clue: Solitaire Stories." Give it a try, you'll soon know why! :)

I do not always leave a review, but after playing the game, I felt I needed to comment on its exquisite quality: thrilling plot, gameplay length, character development, soundtrack and CE goodies.
I would point out this game is quite challenging as far as its mini puzzles are concerned. Also, some hidden object scenes are dark, with some items being smaller or hidden behind others. These elements make it harder to complete hidden objects scenes without using the Hint button.
A great game, recommended for Advanced and Expert players!

I really liked this game for its premise, graphics and storyline. I only gave it 4 stars due to that fact it is open-ended, and by the time one follows through the game and wants to get some answers, the player is left with a less-than-desirable ciliff hanger. Otherwise, a good game with good value.
I recommend this game!
