I found the graphics and music top notch in this game. Many many things going on at once., So many, that I actually lost track of the story. Lining up the pieces that the vision ring produced after finding the runes proved difficult for me. It was actually annoying. Game play itself was very linear and easy. I did like the HOS and mini games. I will check this out again when it comes out as an SE. On top of all that was going on, the last thing I wanted to do was look for 114 pieces of glass. I do recommend the game because it is a work of art. I however shall pass.
I recommend this game!

Finally, a TM game I absolutely love. So many have such small writing, or small areas where your resources are shown, or other problems that I dislike them., This is a standard "clear the path", type of TM game. No collecting rent, no building houses. Graphics are great. No annoying speaking the same phrase over and over by the characters. There is NOT an untimed mode, but you can continue playing after you are out of time. Also, you can click ahead to your heart's desire. This is not a "dash" or clickfest game. Looks like there's quite a bunch of levels too. I recommend this game :)

This Emily game follows the Emily's wonder wedding and proceeds the first one offered by BFG with Emily and her baby. It is done in typical great Emily style that the whole series has been done in. Great graphics, unobtrusive music, a great story, humor, and not a click fest. This time your are on her honeymoon cruise along with her whole family. This one is my favorite along with 2 or 3 of the older games that BFG doesn't carry. It has 3 levels of play so all should be able to enjoy regardless of the pace in which you play. There is the mouse to find in each scene and the quirky customers and annoying family members lol. Again, I really think this should have been offered as an extra game in addition to today's game as it is not a new game. I recommend it 100 percent :)

This game is very similar (ok, almost identical) to part I of Hero of the Kingdom. It's not a TM game, more of a sim game. Some things to find are very very tiny. You have to keep your eyes open and look everywhere. It's not a game to play in one or 2 sittings. More like do a little here, do a little there. Plus, you do need to sleep (your character does too lol) to regain some energy. I found it similar to Finders if you've played that game. I enjoy this more slow pace without it being a HOG. I'd recommend it to anyone who tries the demo and likes it. The graphics and music are ho-hum, but it's the game that will draw you in.
I recommend this game!

Finally a game that requires you to absolutely think at each step and turn. Graphics are cartoon-ish, but not offensively so. Some items are very small so one needs to keep their eyes open. Puzzles are pretty easy at first then become very very difficult. Things you find along the way will be clues in how to solve the puzzles. The hint button is very slow to recharge and only gives you a tiny nudge in the right direction. This game is so refreshing. You will either love it or hate it. If you are looking for sparkling areas and HOS, this is not the game for you. There are achievements, and I believe elephants to find, although these elephants are called bishops? Not sure about that LOL. I recommend it to anyone who loves thinking and solving their own way through a game.
I recommend this game!

I have always been a fan of the "Emily" series, way back to the first one. This one has Emily preparing for her wedding to Patrick. She gets to meet her very meddlesome mother in law. The Emily TM games are a bit different because they're not of the "Dash" type of game where you are constantly clicking like a crazed fiend :) There is a story line behind each game. This one seemed harder to get the gold level on. The graphics and music are great. Colors are bright and fun. There a little mini games thrown in which are very fun. While preparing for your wedding you are still running your restaurant and yes, the mouse is in each scene to find. I highly recommend if you don't already own it as it is an older game.
I recommend this game!

Based on the demo: I see so many of the same type of games released, that when a developer goes off the beaten path I am relieved,. While this game will not win awards for grammar it does deliver a great story. The HOS are list with a bit of interaction. The puzzles were very original and fun... no 15 step puzzles that do not make sense. The music is just wonderful and perfectly suited to the game. The sound effects add great drama. I love to play games by new developers because it gives me the chance to see and play something new, other than the usual "oh look, I found a gear". I rate this 4 stars with the 5th thrown in for originality.

Based on the demo only. I enjoyed the opening sequence of the game. Looked like a good mystery to solve. Soon, however, that all disappeared like a bad magic trick and turned into finding feverfew for someone who fell off their horse, and completing way too many HOS and a few simplistic puzzles. This game was so easy and so linear, a child could play it. Regardless of this, the story got lost somewhere. The graphics and voiceovers were great. I love games with good story lines that pull you in and you cannot wait to see what happens next. This demo was short and I could not give a rat's tail what happened next by the end of the demo. My main gripe here is the shortness of the game as noted by other reviewers and lack of anything except morphing crystal balls (which were extremely easy to spot). The blurb by BF says over 50 morphing objects, whereas players who have completed the game claim there are far less. It takes much more than this to put out a game and call it a CE. I'd assume this is a 2 hour game, plus whatever the bonus chapter holds. That's unacceptable to me. I do not recommend this game.
I don't recommend this game.

Based on the demo only: I liked the early Redemption Cemetery games. Not so much the later ones. Not sure about this one. Graphics, sound both fine. I so dislike ERS not using lip movement. The story felt very disjointed to me. I crash landed, decided I needed something to hold some seeds I found, met my first two souls then was whisked off into the past with a very annoying boy hanging from a clock. I encountered one HOS which was simple. A few puzzles which were also simple. I found one collectible but I'm not sure what it was. There was no creep factor here. Just an attempt to bring out another game in this series. If you are a new player or like a very simple game to pass some time, I'd say buy it. Otherwise, it's a pass.
I don't recommend this game.

Based on the demo: Fantasy Mosaics, in my opinion, does the pictograph games the best. With the addition of adding different colors, back in Fantasy Mosaics #4, they have reached the top of their class. Graphics are clear. Music was actually soothing. You do get a little area to decorate. I love these type of games because you can just play for 10 or 15 minutes when you have a break in the day. Love this one.
I recommend this game!
