I found the puzzles to be a bit too easy and the game of no challenge. It starts with a lot of talking( dialog) and talk and talk. I finished the demo in 50 minutes and found it not wanting. Even at 55% off, I don't want to buy it. A five star game, not at even $5.
I don't recommend this game.

Simply saying I hated this game tells nothing as to why. It is not fun and frustrating most of the time. The visual artistry is mediocre at best and there is too much talking dialog. When I have to keep hitting the hint button because I am asking what the heck is going on, it is time to move on.
I don't recommend this game.

Personally, to me what makes a game worthy of playing and or purchasing? In this case, I bought this game. It is neither n too hard nor too easy. The puzzles are a bit different than the usual and whereas in other games, if the puzzles are too difficult , I skip them. This one I did not. Like many games you are a detective looking for this or that. I am not a good writer and I don't claim to be; I'll leave that to the other good reviewers. I took my time and finished the first chapter in 60 minutes simply because I enjoyed taking my time. Go ahead and try this game out, this may be a surprise sleeper.
I recommend this game!

As a person that loved fierce Tales the dogs heart, this one is not a hit but a miss. The demo is very short. I finished it in 40 minutes but more than this, this Is more kiddie like than the previous game and very easy; not very challenging. This game would be very good for a child, but I do not recommend this for an adult.
I don't recommend this game.

I bought the collector's edition and finished playing it. It is very short and I was left with, that's it!?! I also must tell you not to buy the collector's edition because it has no extra bonus play chapters. This game is not for kids. I wish I had known it had no additional play time; I would have got the SE. This is a fun spooky game and there is another coming out later this year. I hope it is more thorough.
I recommend this game!

As a person that loved the very first installment of this series, a 5 star rating I think, this one based on the demo falls short. Here we again with a mom/daughter help me or daughter/mom help me story that is a bit too easy to play. I so wanted to love this one but can't. There is a lot of " animated dialog" and I loved some of it especially from the bony pirate but the mom-daughter stuff is too much. If there is someone out there reading this that has not bought any of these games, I strongly suggest the very first and in my opinion, the best.
I don't recommend this game.

First thing, this is a child's game. It starts off with mommy help me fix my toy. If you are interested in buying a game for a child, great. But to be fair, I am an adult and I wish Big fish would categorize kiddie games separate from grown up games. And though I am a father of now grown children, I personally cannot get into games where the child calls out to mommy. It would be great if a game was made for son and dad with an older theme, then I could empathize more. I am not trying to be mean here. I just find many of the 5 star opinions from the same "key contributors" seem to be professionally written and prepared.
I don't recommend this game.

This game could have been so much more. Poor in design, more frustration than fun, and no map and poor hint system. I love sci-fi but this is more sci- funk.
I don't recommend this game.

I played about 20 minutes and then stopped. I just could not get into this game. I wish I could get a more detailed account but sometimes either a game has it or it doesn't. This one is just so-so.
I don't recommend this game.

I played the full hour. This is a hard game with complex workings and too many things to remember. If a game is too easy, it is boring. If it is too hard, it ceases to be fun. Unfortunately, it falls on the too hard-less fun side. I tried the easier setting and on one of the puzzles, the skip timer took 5 minutes. On a harder setting I can understand that; not on easy
I don't recommend this game.
