There's not a whole lot to talk about here folks if you love the pixel paint by numbers games this one has upped the ante! Instead of choosing the color that matches the number, you have to fill in the correct number of cells (the color is automatic) for example, there may be two number 8's shown, that means you have to connect the 8's by drawing a line between them. The lines can be straight or zig-zag, but all cells must be filled.
There are 160 levels total and 7 Trophy Achievements to earn. You can earn up to 3 stars per level depending on hints used. My only complaint is that the chosen colors seem rather dull and drab, and I'd like to see them add textures to the filled-in cells to make them appear more dimensional.
Can you stop a buried past from destroying your world?

Welcome to Sanctum, The City that rules a Thousand Worlds. A city of technology light-years ahead of all known planets. A City young Isaac never knew existed until today, unfortunately, Sanctum has been destroyed by someone or something. All that remains intact is a single component of the incredible planetary network system, Nal'dax, a conscious robot. Isaac soon discovers that Sanctum is just the tip of the intergalactic iceberg and his journey may just answer questions he never knew had answers.

MHG had lost its mojo lately, but this game has renewed my faith, Sci-fi is their wheelhouse and Moonsouls is a fantastic sci-fi! Yes, it's a short game, but they trashed all of the cliche tasks (except for one angry swarm of hornets) added really interesting HOP's, fun puzzles, and a fresh new plot. At no point in time did I become weary or bored playing this game, which is more than I can say for nearly all of the recent HOPA releases where I'm doing the same thing over and over, chapter after chapter, wondering if it will ever end. A game doesn't have to be lengthy to be enjoyable, quite the opposite if a game is 7-8 hours long but all I'm doing is ditching a tool in one scene only to discover I need to find the same tool again to complete the same kind of task, what's the fun in that?
The CE version has the familiar MHG Spiral Signs, some are cleverly hidden, others not-so-much. The CE version also has Morphing Objects in every scene as well as within the Hidden Object Scenes, The HO morphs are very challenging but they made the scene morphs way too obvious because the objects they morphed into were objects that looked way out of place in the scenery. Because of the ease of spotting collectibles and morphs, I would probably recommend holding off for the SE version if you prefer collectibles to be more challenging.

There are a few Gadgets, 2 of which are only used in the first chapter when wearing a diving suit, a Hook and a Clamp that's used 3 times each and doesn't involve a repetitive mini-game. You also use a Moonsouls Glove 5 times, but it doesn't involve a mini-game either. I'm not a fan of gadgets but these aren't annoying at all.
There are 13 Hidden Object Scenes +3 in the CE Bonus Chapter, as well as a few Zoom Zone hop's. I'm rarely impressed with HOP's nowadays because they are just soooo easy, but I absolutely loved these! They were located in interesting locations and most were very sci-fi or bright and colorful. My favorites were finding items that Matched Swatches, finding 2 of each item, Symbol Finds (very challenging) and a Mushroom Pair Match. There are also Interactive List Finds, Silhouetted Shape Finds, Fragmented Silhouetted Shape Finds, Related Item Finds, and Symbol Finds. In the Collector's Edition version, each HOP scene has a very challenging Morphing Object to find, and you can play the replayable HOP's to pick up Morphs you may have forgotten to look for, as well as some Achievements.
There are 11 Mini-Games +2 in the Collector's Edition Bonus Chapter. There are 3 or 4 scenes where you have to find and replace items to progress the story but these are not listed as mini-games or HOP's according to the CE Strategy Guide. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games I loved:
☽ Drag the diver through a maze while avoiding dangers and sea creatures.
☽ Find items and interact with the components to unlock the diary. დ
☽ Rotate & position the blank canvas form which will eventually have to fit 3 different patterns. დ
☽ Fill and/or empty vats to fill the energy tube exactly 4 units. დდდ
☽ Rotate triangle sections to move the ball to the end without colliding with the unmovable triangle.

The Collector's Edition Bonus Chapter is an average length chapter that takes place over 7 scene locations. You play as Chief Shard who goes to Priora to seek her newfound friends' help when a disease spreads rapidly throughout the Guardians. There are 3 Hidden Object Scenes and 2 Mini-Games available, and you will pick up the remaining 7 Spiral Signs, 7 Scene Morphs, and 3 HOP Morphs.
The Collector's Edition version has 12 Wallpapers, 8 Concept Art Pictures (w/ before-after slider bar) 10 Music Soundtracks, 11 Achievements (6 have 3 categories) 16 Replayable Hidden Object Scenes, 44 Morphing Objects (16 within the Hidden Object Scenes) 28 Collectible Spiral Signs, 5 Main Chapters +Bonus Chapter and a Built-in Strategy Guide.

Apparently, I'm the Secret City's only hope when Mortymer's ruthless clan infiltrates the local Bank. Surprisingly, it's not money they are after, because this bank has something far more valuable than cold hard cash. This bank stores Magical Artifacts, artifacts that would expose the Secret hidden City and all of its magical citizens to the human world. Sounds like a great idea, hire a human detective to thwart the Human Threat apocalypse!
There are 18 Hidden Object Scenes (+5 in the CE Bonus Chapter. The scenes vary with Interactive List, Keywords, Silhouetted Shape Finds, and Pictured Item Finds. There is an Alternate Match 3 Game available as well.
There are 33 Mini-Games (+7 in the CE Bonus Chapter) that can be played in an Easy or Hard Difficulty Mode. Below are a few of the mini-games that I enjoyed:
1-Set valves according to the number of colored capacitor's connected to each dial.
2-Choose lockpicks from both sides and place them under the bars to align with hinges.
3-Use arrowed buttons to rotate crystal fragments & slider buttons to zoom (+ or -) to assemble crystals.

The Collector's Edition Bonus Chapter takes us back to the beginning origins of the Secret City when the magical creatures were at war with one another. When King Wilhelm, a human, invades the kingdom, they put aside their differences as they search for the Heart of Consent to restore peace. There are 5 Hidden Object Scenes and 7 Mini-Games in this average-length chapter, and you will pick up the remaining 5 Artifacts, 4 Morphing Photos, and 8 Coins which allows you to purchase the remaining Office Furnishings.

Review based on 25 levels
Solitaire Dragon Light was developed by the same people who created the Snow White solitaire games, which happens to be one of my top favorite Solitaire games. I love tales about Dragons and this Dragon Tale is right up my alley. This is a Higher/Lower Solitaire game with 40 levels and each level has 4 tiers per level which will keep this solitaire geek happy for quite a while.
You can choose from 4 different Card Graphic themes, and 2 Face Font styles and there are 14 Achievement Trophies to earn. The goal is to earn 3 stars per level, and any level can be replayed as often as needed if you want to earn all 3 stars. If you remove all of the cards from the board, you will earn 3 stars, if two or fewer cards remain you will earn 2 stars, and you will earn 1 star if 3 or 4 cards remain. There is an Undo feature that allows you to undo your last move, and each level allows for a single-use undo.
Bonuses appear randomly on some of the cards, but only temporarily, so if you're not able to use that card within a few seconds, it will disappear, but usually reappears fairly quickly on a different card. The type of Bonus varies, the Coin will give you 50 extra coins if you're able to include that card in a chain, and the Tornado will reveal 2 random face-down cards on the board and the Crown will add 2 cards to the deck. You will occasionally earn number specific Wildcards and Jokers as you progress. Rechargeable bonuses are located on the bottom left, such as a Sword that swaps one card from the deck with a playable card.
Obstacle Cards are eventually introduced as a challenge such as Vines which requires finding the Garden Shears, Ash Cards require two plays, the first time the card is used, it removes the ash, the second time it's included, will remove the card entirely.
I'm looking forward to completing this game, I have thoroughly enjoyed the Snow White games and have played them several times over.
I recommend this game!

IF I had only played the demo portion of this game I would have given it 5 stars too, but, I played the entire game. The ending was a huge letdown and the dragon's voice was the worse voiceover selection choice for a dragon that I could ever have imagined! IF they had stuck to one theme, I may have given it 5 stars too, but they went from Leprechaun town to Faun town (psssst: pachyderm guys are you okay with this infringement?) then onto Merlin's Wizard school, and finally to the dragon's lair, but it wasn't until the very last scene that we actually get to see the dragon. I was "fooled" into thinking this was a game about Dragon's and Leprechauns but after the demo, I get a game about 1 evil leprechaun and a lot of talk about said dragon?????
It's a miracle I tell ya! Domini released a game with only 3 chapters instead of the usual 750 chapters! I have complained about the over-abundance of chapters that were crammed full of repeated tasks and no plot progression. This game is a vast improvement, however, they still need to work on the overabundance of cliche tasks. How many times do I need to cut vines, sweep debris with feathers, replace eyeballs, replace rings on a skeleton (trust me, he doesn't need them nor does he care about them) and how many times are you going to make me screw a screw with a coin, a different coin every time??? And one more thing, if I have to save a drowning victim, give me enough credit to immediately grab a nearby branch or dive in to save them, DON'T make me play 4 mini-games, search 3 different scenes for emblems to place and then play a Hidden Object Scenes before attempting to save someone that just pleaded with me to save them because they don't know how to swim!
There are 15 Hidden Object Scenes + 5 in the CE Bonus Chapter, a FEW of which were indeed creative although not really original. One was a Missing Letters HOP where you had to find listed items that had 2-3 missing letters, the other HOP that was different required you to choose the correct answer to a riddle and then find 1-3 items related to the answer of that riddle. The rest of the HOP's were Interactive List finds, Silhouetted Shape finds, Keywords in Sentence finds. Matching Pair finds, and Multiples of the same object finds. There is an alternate Match 3 game available as well.
There are 18 Mini-Games +8 in the CE Bonus Chapter. These are the same exact games offered in the last Domini release, not a single game was new or original. Here are a few games that I found to be more interesting:
＊Move to highlighted cells to reach the torch while avoiding the red cells.
＊Grab 2 tokens at a time and move them to their matching slots using directional arrows.
＊Place bugs on the board so that their "domino" numbers will match.
＊Find the correct sequence of musical notes shown. Notes can be located horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
The Collector's Edition Bonus Chapter has us chasing after another greedy and misguided Leprechaun named Aaron. You will play as Cedric before he became an Elder, trying to thwart Aaron's nefarious plans to reconstruct an artifact of immense power. This Bonus Chapter is slightly longer than average with 5 Hidden Object Scenes and 8 Mini-Games. You will find the remaining 4 Morphing Fairies, 4 Leprechaun Statuettes, and 8 Celtic Crosses that will allow you to purchase the remaining Garden upgrades.

They release these games at a break-neck speed, so it comes as no surprise that very little effort went into this game. Everything is the same, it always is and I'm fairly certain it always will be. All they do is change a few graphics, plug in some new and very basic puzzle pictures (that don't even necessarily correspond with the theme) and change the title, most of the time they simply add the number 2 to the old existing title, and voila, they are ready for production!
Once again, there are 5 different Mosaic Locations and each location or world has 20 puzzles available. There is a left-hand mode as well as a Relaxed feature that automatically gives you the Key and points for finishing the game, no matter how long it takes you to finish the puzzle. In the Normal Mode, you will receive one Key for Completing the puzzle, a second Key if you make no Mistakes, and the third Key if you Complete the puzzle within the Allotted Time, which isn't as easy as it sounds because, in my opinion, they are very stingy with the allotted time!
You will earn coins for each completed puzzle and you can use the coins to buy extra time (+30 seconds for 5000 coins) or instantly refill the hint feature (5000 coins) you can also unlock other levels and worlds, but it costs a ridiculous amount of coins ranging from 25,000 coins to a whopping 225,000 coins, and I doubt you could earn that many coins beforehand anyway.
The object of the game is to correctly place available mosaic puzzle pieces located on the right side of the puzzle. (left in the left-hand mode) Some puzzle pieces are already placed on the board as "clues" and more pieces are added until the puzzle is complete. All of this sounds really easy, but when you are trying to place the pieces wicked fast and without making a mistake, it can be mind-blowing. You can replay the puzzle as often as you want to try to earn a better score, but each time the puzzle will reset with different puzzle pieces as clues.
If you've bought any of the mosaic puzzles offered by this dev, there's probably no need to buy another unless you really love the available pictures. As I stated earlier, each time you re-play a puzzle, different pieces are shown at the beginning and because of this, it's just one more reason not to need another one of these mosaic puzzles. There's never any new features added, and the pictures they have chosen just seem to get less and less appealing?

I've always loved the Penguin-themed mosaic games but even I will admit that it's getting to be a bit much. I've even been able to accurately predict the Penguin-Monday release date for the last several games. With that being said, they are certainly not bad games and I still recommend them to those who love mosaic games, but there are so many of them that I can literally replay any of the older games and it will seem like a brand new game at this point.
The Zen Mode has returned if you prefer to solve the griddlers without all the hand/flipper holding. In Zen Mode, the numbers aren't crossed off but Mistakes aren't counted against you either, because chances are, you'll have to edit some of the cells as you switch colors. You can delete filled-in or crossed-off cells by right-clicking the cell in Zen Mode, and you'll know you have completed a particular color correctly because a checkmark will appear on the color bubble.
In addition to the new Zen Mode, you can also choose to play in a Casual Mode which crosses off the cells one by one, or the Advanced Mode, which only crosses off the remaining cells once the entire row and column have been filled in. You will earn a Gold trophy if you make no mistakes, a Silver trophy if you make one mistake and a Bronze trophy if you make two mistakes. You will also earn up to three gold Stars if you don't use any hints, one star is deducted each time you use a hint. Therefore, it is possible to make a mistake or two but still earn 3 stars as long as you don't use any available hints.
There are 20 Locations, and each location has 5 Griddlers each, but these particular puzzles seem really easy this time, and the colors weren't as vibrant as they were in the last Fantasy Mosaic. You can choose from 7 different tile sets, ranging in color vibrancy and styles. Locked Colors can be disabled in the Settings menu, otherwise, some of the colors are locked and unavailable until you uncover color-specific keys that are hidden beneath some of the filled-in cells The Eye feature allows you to hide the grid to get a look at the puzzle without all the grid lines, and there is a reset icon that makes it much easier to restart the level if you make a mistake.
There are groups of numbers located on each column and row of the grid, each group of numbers must be separated by at least one blank or crossed off cell. Sometimes it's easier to cross-off cells that can't possibly contain a filled-in cell, which will reduce the number of cells and narrow the playing field down a bit, when you get stuck, you can switch colors and work back and forth until it's solved. Some of the cells contain bonuses such as extra hints, extra mistakes allowed or an extra pickax which allows you to choose which cell you want a hint on, and some cells contain keys to unlock colors (unless you disable this feature in settings) There is a Sun icon as well that when fully charged, will give you a mega-hint, filling in or crossing off a 3x3 area of your choice.

Apparently, I'm the Secret City's only hope when Mortymer's ruthless clan infiltrates the local Bank. Surprisingly, it's not money they are after, because this bank has something far more valuable than cold hard cash. This bank stores Magical Artifacts, artifacts that would expose the Secret hidden City and all of its magical citizens to the human world. Sounds like a great idea, hire a human detective to thwart the Human Threat apocalypse!
There are 18 Hidden Object Scenes (+5 in the CE Bonus Chapter. The scenes vary with Interactive List, Keywords, Silhouetted Shape Finds, and Pictured Item Finds. There is an Alternate Match 3 Game available as well.
There are 33 Mini-Games (+7 in the CE Bonus Chapter) that can be played in an Easy or Hard Difficulty Mode. Below are a few of the mini-games that I enjoyed:
1-Set valves according to the number of colored capacitor's connected to each dial.
2-Choose lockpicks from both sides and place them under the bars to align with hinges.
3-Use arrowed buttons to rotate crystal fragments & slider buttons to zoom (+ or -) to assemble crystals.

The Collector's Edition Bonus Chapter takes us back to the beginning origins of the Secret City when the magical creatures were at war with one another. When King Wilhelm, a human, invades the kingdom, they put aside their differences as they search for the Heart of Consent to restore peace. There are 5 Hidden Object Scenes and 7 Mini-Games in this average-length chapter, and you will pick up the remaining 5 Artifacts, 4 Morphing Photos, and 8 Coins which allows you to purchase the remaining Office Furnishings.
This Collector's Edition version has 12 Wallpapers, 12 Concept Art Pictures, 5 Music Soundtracks, 20 Cutscene Videos, 18 Achievements, 18 Replayable Hidden Object Scenes, 15 Replayable Mini-Games, 15 Morphing Photos, 15 Collectible Artifacts, 51 Zoom Zone Coins to Purchase 15 Office Furnishings, a Gazillion Missing Notes to Find because everybody writes their thoughts down, tears the page out and leaves them in random caches, 4 Main Chapters, +Bonus Chapter and a Built-in Strategy Guide.

Rachael's baby sister is in trouble again, and since Rachael is out of town, good ole Uncle Chris gets to babysit, once he tracks her down. It's going to be a pretty awkward conversation though, "er, hey babe, yes, we're both doing good, Nerida is safe,.ahhh, sort of. About her beautiful singing voice...."
I think this series was over before it began, and #3 is a perfect example of why...it's boring to play. Eipix is famous for only having 2 areas of interest in every scene, 3 if you're lucky. The graphics are so plain with so little detail, there's nothing to look at, nothing to do, and because the storyline is boring, there's nothing to engross you or pique your interest, nothing to make you want to keep playing other than the hard-earned money you spent.
There are 16 Hidden Object Scenes +4 in the CE Bonus Chapter. There was a few of them that were creative such as finding ingredients to make tea or opening 2 drawers at a time to find matching pairs, but there was only one that I actually liked, selecting various drums to display several musical symbols that match the symbols on the inventory bar. There are also Interactive Listed Items, Keywords in Sentence Finds, Silhouetted Shape Finds, Multiples Finds, and Pictured Item Finds as well.
There are 19 Mini-Games +7 in the CE Bonus Chapter, but for me personally, I found them to be rather boring and not very creative. Here are a few of the games I found to be better the most:
1-Rotate wires to connect, similar to "pipes"
2-Adjust 4 puzzle sections to fit correctly, using + and - buttons, horizontal and vertical sliders, and rotational arrow buttons.
3-Select picture frames in the correct order by pushing them along the path.

The Collector's Edition Bonus Chapter is a continuation of the main games' plot, playing as Nerida on a quest to find her voice. There are 7 Mini-Games and 4 Hidden Objects remaining, and you will pick up the final 5 Musical Notes to complete your collection, but there are no Morphing Objects within the CE BC.
The collector's Edition version has 4 Concept Art Pictures, 8 Wallpapers, 8 Movie Video Cutscenes, 5 Music Soundtracks, 12 Achievements, 18 Replayable Puzzles, 18 Replayable Hidden Object Scenes, 21 Souvenir's, 33 Musical Note Collectibles, 16 Scene Morphing Objects, 4 Main Chapters, +Bonus Chapter, and a Built-in Strategy Guide.

IT'S THE SAME AS THE LAST 3 ARGONAUTS GAMES AND NOT VERY CE WORTHY

It's hard to enjoy an average, same ole, same ole Time Management game after purchasing and playing a phenomenal TM Adventure "Roman" themed game a few days ago. I'm not seeing any improvements over the last 4 Argonauts Agency games, but mostly, I don't see any differences as far as the level tasks, it's really no different than the other three in the series. The storylines are almost identical as well, and it's nowhere near CE worthy, it doesn't even have a Strategy Guide!
This game isn't visually appealing because everything is a golden hue. Constantly having to row my raft back and forth to gather resources on several different islands just isn't fun, it's boring, and it's exactly the same scenario as the last game, and the game before that, and the game before that, I'm confident it will be the same task in the fifth installment as well.
You can play in an Untimed, Normal or Hard difficulty mode and it allows you to switch back and forth easily before the start of each level with an icon located above the levels. I do like this feature because sometimes it's helpful to play the first go-round in an untimed mode to figure out what the requirements are, such as what materials are needed for each task (bridges, boulders, etc) and then play the level again in a normal or hard mode, especially when a TM game requires a lot of strategies. Once you have collected 5 Stars, you get to open a Treasure Chest located on the bottom left of the Map screen. That gives you 3 small chests to choose from and you can earn extra resources.
Bonuses have to be won by spinning a Casino Slot Machine with Crystals as the currency. You will earn 10 Crystals every 5 minutes you play (why not leave the game running overnight?) The bonuses are % based and become more worthy the higher the percentage:
⛏️Sandals~speeds up the characters.
⛏️Axe~cut down trees faster.
⛏️Shovel~fill holes faster.
⛏️Sword~monster battle time reduced.
⛏️Hammer~speeds up construction.
⛏️Pick~speeds stone breaking time.
⛏️Axe~cut down trees faster.

⛏️Sword~monster battle time reduced.
⛏️Hammer~speeds up construction.
⛏️Pick~speeds stone breaking time.
There's really nothing different here than any other TM game. Build Farms for food, Sawmills for wood, Gold Mines, Quarries for stone and Markets for trading food for specific materials such as Stone or Gold. There are the usual Berry Bushes for a renewable food source, as well as the usual path blockers of conveniently cut & stacked wood, boulders, puddles, holes, bread loaves that somehow gets left strategically on a blocked path just when you need it the most, not to mention random caches of gold coins.
The only features offered in this Collector's Edition version, are 10 pages of Concept Art pictures and 5 Music Soundtracks, and a few extra levels in the Additional Campaign section, and once again, there's no Strategy Guide offered. There are 31 Achievements to earn, but the trophies are usually still included within the Standard Edition versions.
