I played the Standard version of this game, and was so taken with it that I bought the CE also, so that I could finish the game.
It is definitely a THINKING GAME, but fun too. You do all sorts of puzzles, a lot of decorating buildings, plus complete quests (tasks) for people in the town. I liked the story-line, because books are my thing.
A really excellent all-round, different game.
I recommend this game!

I don't often write reviews, but this had such low ratings I wasn't expecting much.
I try all the Match 3 games to see what I think. This one was a nice surprise, in that it gets challenging very quickly to try and gain 3 stars (gems).
It is a 'limited moves' Match 3, which I don't mind at all.
I recommend this game!
Epistory immerses you in an atmospheric action/adventure game where you play a girl riding a giant fox who fights an insectile corruption from an origami world.

This is one of those games when it is extremely rewarding to perservere with the different format. This review is based on game completion. As the title says, it requires that you be a good typist to get through it successfully. You need also to pay attention to any instructions - there aren't many, but they're vital to know. Using the TAB key to view the Map and other necessities. You will often need the MAP, as the world literally builds around you. The whole game is a joy to play.
I recommend this game!

I try every Match 3 game that comes along, as I am a big fan. I loved the game mechanics of this one in particular, so had to write a review. The previous game 'Egypt' had glitches and I ended up deleting it. I hoped this one would not have any. I played it right through without a problem. It requires lots of strategy to get through, which I like. It lends itself to counted Match 3 because of this, but you can play without it if you want.
Persecuted by ill fate, the elven nation land on a lost island. They'll need sharp blades as well as sharp minds to survive.

I don't often write reviews, but this game was a nice surprise. This is a HIDDEN OBJECT quest-based game. You need to like HO scenes and puzzles. The developer (Five BN) has put a LOT of effort into making it. The story-line is great - new characters introduced along the way with quests to do. There is a very long list of Achievements to complete. The type of game to play part of each day. The items are initially small and a little difficult to find, but there is a good hint system, and you get better at it.
I recommend this game!

Farm Tribe 2 is a cross between The Promised Land and Farmington Tales - two of my favourite games. So this simulation/strategy game was truly far better than I expected. Loved it all. Was compelled to write a review.

I had hesitated to buy this game in the past because of some poor reviews. Having completed it, it is now among my top favourites. You need to adjust to the style of play a little more with this game than some others, as it is mostly adventure, with some HOPA (hidden object pieces assembled); but it is well worth it. The hint system is very useful for this. It kept me interested from start to finish.
I recommend this game!

Overall, this was a 'feel good' game, with lovely ambience for the most part, and many quotes for life from famous people. It was short-ish, but worth the time. It's for anyone wanting to relax and enjoy a solid adventure/HO/puzzle game.
The graphics were light, bright and clear. The majority of the scenes were stunning. There were interactive areas in the HO scenes - many very clever. The music was apt for the situation, and calming.
I recommend this game!

You do have to like HO's to love this game. I would describe it as 'charming'. The rooms of the Inn are visually gorgeous, and the garden that you create lots of fun. It is similar to Gardenscapes in approach.

This game was enjoyable for all the reasons already mentioned by other reviewers.
To sum up my experience of the game: It was full of HO's, but there were also 'fragmented objects' to vary things. The artwork and graphics were clear and appealing. The storyline, although with possible dire outcomes, was light. The sequencing was logical and easy to follow.
I recommend this game!
