Not bad. Mini-games could have been more challenging but the game itself kept me interested. Good voiceovers. Not 5-star quality but still a good 4 stars for me.
I recommend this game!

Graphics, HOS's, mini-games, story line... all are great! Some really different mini-games, and some were a real challenge but I'm happy to say I didn't skip any. (They're my favorite part of the game, so I play a mini-game as long as it takes to solve it.) I was really blown away by the technical aspects of this game. I usually don't pay any attention to the story but I couldn't help following this one because it was actually good. Definitely a 5-star game for me. It's been a while before I could give 5 stars to any game!
I recommend this game!

Where's the challenge in tracing a maze of lines until you get to the end? I didn't like it the first five times and I certainly didn't like it the next fifteen or so. But the rest of the game was lots of fun, and it was a long game so I got several hours of playing time. The game came out in 2015. I'm playing it in 2018 and it definitely stood the test of time for me. Most mini-games were too easy but there were a couple that were more challenging. Wish it wasn't the end of the series. This series has been a favorite of mine.
I recommend this game!

This was a really fun game. Just not quite challenging enough as far as the mini-games. But I really had a good time and will look forward to the next one in the series. Thanks, "Grandma"!

Fear For Sale is now my favorite series and I just realized I only have six of the eleven games in the series, so I'll wait for a sale and purchase the rest of them. I may have skipped one mini-game (can't remember for sure) so that makes it enough of a challenge to keep me interested. I like a little creepiness in most of the games I play and this fits the bill. Good game.
I recommend this game!

I like to play the mini-games in the hard mode, so I was happy to see that offered. Graphics very good; some of the voiceovers lacked emotion but others were very good. Had several hours of playing time. Got my money's worth with this one.
I recommend this game!

Was really ready for this game to end. The talisman drove me crazy, especially since I don't care for memory games that much. If you don't like it the first time you certainly won't like it 10 more times after that. Too many uses for items that made no sense at all. Just didn't enjoy this one.
I don't recommend this game.

I read all the rave reviews and bought the game right away. Very disappointed. Way too easy and way too short. Enough said.
Recommending for beginners.

It's a nice, long game with some challenging puzzles but I got very tired of the magical bracelet. It was annoying after while. Other than the bracelet it was a good game, especially the mini-games.
I recommend this game!

I really don't understand the bad reviews. I loved this game and didn't want it to be over. I do enjoy casinos, so that could be part of the reason I liked this game so much. Some different puzzles, great graphics, and games you play against the "expert". I try not to skip puzzles but I did have to skip one, and that makes the game a nice challenge. If you can get past the shovel that's held up by tape (???) I think you'll like the game. A little different from most.
I recommend this game!
