I have never been a fan of hidden object games, still not for a lot of them but these clutter games are well thought out and I love that there are many different variations of finding the objects. Usually I would get bored after a few levels but not with this. There is plenty of variety and I thoroughly recommend this game.. As always try the demo first as what suits some does not suit others
I recommend this game!

Yes as per usual with this series, same old, same old but the biggest defect for me is the constant hints where all available resources flash and there is no way of turning them off or I can't find it?. This I find very annoying and takes away any challenge as it is permanently telling you where you can go. What is the point in this? At least this time they have provided a strategy guide but it is not needed as they tell you what to do all the time.
This could be so much better if they put a bit of thought into it and some variety

As I expect with most die hard Northern Tales fans having to wait for the SE to come out was too much and like me you just had to buy the CE. Well there is hardly any difference, most of the extras are here and for only 6 extra levels in the CE plus no strategy guide I should have hung on but the pull was too much lol.
If you did wait or have not seen this game before go for this one. I did only give 4 stars for the CE so now add on the extra star for this. This is the one to get. Enjoy

When I first started this game it starts with the hand cursor and I had real problems with it making the game very difficult to play (For me anyway) but then Joybelle told me to change the cursor and I did to the arrow and it was a different came much better.
This has everything I want in a TM game and more. I loved the one stop games with the trains and this just improves on that in its own way.
They even throw in collectable owls which are a bit hard to find so to get the most out of your demo look for them after you have bought. This is quite challenging from the start and you have 50 levels to enjoy.
If you like TM games you are going to love this one. Enjoy

This may be a good or not so good thing but I have never played any of the others so had nothing to compare which allows me to give an opinion without recalling back to the others.
I do agree it is a bit more relaxed than some TM's but I was fine with that. I always play a game through first in relaxed and then straight in to the hardest level. This way I know my way around and enjoy it more but thats just me.I have nearly finished the normal levels and have found the later levels to be more of a challenge and a couple of times needed the guide for help.What I really liked was that there was something different to do in each level and not the same old thing level after level.With 50% off today I bought this game and glad I did.
Always demo games before you buy and also check the reviews bearing in mind that people have different likes and what is great for some it is not for others.
For this reason and this is my opinion only when reviews are written It is fine that someone loves a game and gives it 5 stars but please tell us why you give it 5 stars.. It is interesting to know why you love a game so much as the majority do. Same the other way it is fine to give 1 star but I would love to know your reasoning.
I am not in any way having a moan but really really would love to know why it is worth those stars. After all these are reviews. Have a great day all

First off I looked at the other reviews before I commented and maybe I am becoming an old meany but I am sorry this game just did not do it for me. The graphics seem 20 years old and it is just a very standard collect and build game. The workers just seem to grunt and the extras for a CE are awful .What on earth does paying twice as much money warrant this offering?. As I say just my opinion and we are all different which is what makes the world a interesting place.Be so boring if we all thought like me. Have a great day all
I don't recommend this game.

I usually avoid mosaic games as I tend to find them boring after a while and frustrating, however I Read the reviews and thought I would give this a go and I love it to the extent that I can't stop playing it. If you, like me, don't usually try these type of games give this a try, you might be surprised
I recommend this game!

I gave the CE 5 stars but that was before I got too far into the game and only had got to level 10.
I still think this is a very good game but the further I got into it the more confusing I found it. Others may find it ok but to give you a few examples. Some of the obstacles in the rds are the same colour as the rd and the more busier it becomes the harder it is to see. Some obstacles are placed behind a building making it difficult to find.The wood in the wood shed is the same colour as the shed again making it difficult to see. The upgrade arrows are very small and makes it hard to see when a building can be upgraded.
This is all something that the devs could work on to make it clearer if a sequel was ever to come out.,
As you get well in to this game everything is packed so tight together it is a difficulty to see everything, well it is for me.

Having said all that I still think this is a very good game just needs a bit of a tweaking to make it a bit clearer.

Others will provide a more detailed review than me but thought I would give a couple of tips while you are trying the demo.
There is a lot going on this game which for me is great however I thouroughly recommend you playing the demo in relaxed so you can get further in the game.If you decide to buy you can then have it on timed if you so want.
The next thing is do not build anything in the Olympic village during your demo as for some strange reason the builders take for ever to build anything here and this eats up your demo time. There is enough going on without wasting a couple of minutes. once you then decide to buy then start to build the village. It will prompt you to build something in the village but I would advise you not to as that caught me out and I lost valuable demo time for something that can wait.
This whole game is very well thought out, well worth the extra for a CE as you get a further 20 levels . Enjoy
