Based on the demo, this is a builder TM game which soo reminds me of another game, but I cannot think of which one. One reviewer mentions there is a relaxed mode.... I don't see a choice of modes. There is a LOT of talking between characters going on. Everything is small. I used to love TM games, especially Roads to Rome and Island Tribe, and I still do go back to those 2 series of games as filler games. This one, I'm not seeing it. I found it hard to see what was in my inventory. This game, to me, wasn't bad, but neither was it good. I will wait for some reviews of people who have played the entire game. It says it has 50 levels, but the levels are so short, it's not a long game at all.
I recommend this game!

I played the CE demo of this game when it came out and absolutely loved it. It was one of those games that appealed to me from the very beginning. Not too many HOS, yay. There is a lot going on in the game. You do get a scent catcher to make different fragrances. Visuals were great. Story line good. I have no complaints with this game. Puzzles were good and enjoyable. I very very seldom buy CE games, so was very happy to see this come out as a SE today. Downloading it now.
I recommend this game!

Am I dead? Apparently, and you have no memory of how it happened. Death may be the least of your problems.

Oh my... where to start. You are somehow dead. How? I have no idea. However, you go back home and convince your sister you are dead but not to fear!!! You make your sister a nice cup of tea and give her cake and pills and she's ok with this concept. As for the game itself, you basically play simplistic hidden object scenes. You get an item. Use it more or less in the same room. Repeat. There are VOs sadly (in this case). The story? is divided into chapters. There is no choice of difficulty level. The hint button which I didn't need, but did try out is basically useless. There are a few, and a scant few at that, mini games tossed in that a child could solve. I honestly don't know if there was music or not. I suppose if you like to find a hidden object, be told where to use it, and do it all again, you may like this game. For me it was senseless.
I don't recommend this game.

The story begins with a car crash where you and your daughter (who looks like a doll in the game) go to the nearest cabin and are greeted by a witch who spikes your tea and steals the doll-like looking child. The visuals were awful. No VO. Too many HO scenes with misclick penalty. The mini games were simplistic. This game really missed its mark with me. I wouldn';t recommend it.
I don't recommend this game.

This was a very good game. Great creepy storyline. More adventure than HO, yay!!! No penalty for misclicks. Great voice overs. You do get a map, however, it is not transportable. It tells you where there is a task or puzzle that needs to be done. Soooo, you spend a large large part of the game running back and forth and back and forth over 3 floors of this scene. Because of that, the rating went down in my book. I do not think a good game should consist of the ability to run back and forth through multiple floors and rooms to complete tasks. The mini games were good. Great game all in all.
I recommend this game!

I managed to traipse through the demo, barely. I love HOPA games. I loved the snowy look and the look of the abandoned town. However, finding 15 objects in the beginning that had no use at all didn't impress me at all. I'd find a tool, use it along the way, and find out, oh hey, that';s not good enough... I need another tool. That's not adventure. That's fill to make the game longer. I'd rather play a game that is 2 hours long and interesting and that makes sense than one such as this that's more like a wild goose chase.
I don't recommend this game.

I absolutely love the Grim Tales games. This one, The Legacy, is just as good as the others I've played. There are 3 choices of difficulty. Hint recharges quickly. You have an interactive map that transports. Non interactive HOS, and not too many of them so as to interfere with the game. Many many rooms to look through. The colors are bright, the music is slightly creepy in keeping with the story line. Puzzles are medium difficulty, although some made no sense to me at all. There is a skip button if needed. I recommend this highly.

So, yes, the graphics were very very amazing. The seasons were magnificent. Three choices of difficulty available. Not many HOS which I was very happy about. Most of the mini games/puzzles, made no sense to me at all. The background music was very nice. I felt totally overwhelmed by the game. Not the difficulty of it, just so much "stuff" placed all over. Objects needed to be put in the exact spot for them to work. This one did nothing for me. Uninstalled it.
I recommend this game!

I am not a romance story fan, however, there were so many positive reviews on this game, I did try it.... and loved it. So few HOS!!!! I was in heaven. The story is sweet, music is relaxing, tasks are not too challenging and puzzles are doable. There is a journal and a hint button that is useful if you need it. Just a nice relaxing game, without looking for miniscule, dark, HO.
I recommend this game!

This one gets 2 thumbs up from me. Very original and unique. The color was bright and crisp. HO scenes (which were not overwhelming) had objects that were easy to find, no interactive items. Quite a few mini games which were pretty challenging. An interactive map that tells you where you are and lets you jump to a place where action is needed, which was extremely useful as there is a lot of back and forthing. A quiet game as far as the music, but loud appropriate noises were more effective, such as a chainsaw, etc. I highly recommend this.
