The SE version might confused people as it has a tab at top saving "Collector's Edition". This just lets you purchase that if you wish. I thought the graphics were great and there are lots and lots of puzzles. Not many hidden objects which was okay. However, the hint button was not that helpful in some areas. I did find a walkthrough when I got stuck. The map is also helpful.
I recommend this game!

The game is long for an SE version; there is a map, and the hint button and skip button fill up fast. The hint button acts more like a strategy guide which is a definite help as you do quite a bit of back and forth. The HO are easy and somewhat interactive. The mini-puzzles are not that hard.
I recommend this game!

A must have fun game for Halloween. The game is timed or relaxed. There are many powerups and you earn gold to decorate your house with spooky items.

After reading some of the other reviews, I was surprised that this game wasn't more fun. All I can say is that I was thankful there was a walkthrough. The hint button was very slow and I think beginners would become frustrated.
I don't recommend this game.

Enjoyed the game as there are lots of puzzles and the hidden objects are not hard to find. You do go back to them, but only to collect 12 of something. The bonus game is excellent. Also, if you skipped a puzzle and want to try it again you can after you complete the game.
I recommend this game!

Liked the evidence board -- very original. Did not like going back to the same Hidden object panels twice and sometimes three times -- boring. I would still recommend the game for the mystery and the puzzles.

Surface: The Pantheon Collector's Edition
It should have been a tremendous achievement, but the tunnel through the Ridge of Leviathan became the site of a great disaster. What really happened that day?

This was my first Surface game. Overall I thought it was a good game. There is a lot going on with the adventure to find and free your family; there are many hidden objects to find and use (and you never go to the same one again, which I like); and there are a lot of puzzles to solve. You have a map, a hint button and the strategy guide. However, I found that if you follow the hint button it isn't always in sync with the guide.
I recommend this game!

Good game for beginners in the untimed version. Rebuild the underwater city where you lived with dragons. Three modes of play. You first play swap to unlock the other modes.

Great graphics, three modes of play. Lots of HO and mini-puzzles. There are collectables to find and achievements to accomplish. You also have help with a hint button, map, and a strategy guide. You have a cute little bat to assist you.

Sorry folks, I found this 3-Match to be boring. The story was nice and I loved the little flame, but cannot really recommend this.
I don't recommend this game.
