I have been a true fan of Dark Parables games from high school to adulthood. The very first game I have played was Snow White and the White Witch (Please bring that game back to iPad!). The Dark Parables series all go almost the same way, with little differences in between, like the Little Mermaid one. However, the storyline is catchy and the game is fairly long for the game itself. I am an easy person when it comes to ratings unless it comes to horrible games (which I have encountered some before). I have read some reviews from other games of how people would come back to the game about 2 to 3 times before writing a review. This is my 3rd time playing Queen of Sands, so I thought to give a review. I’m giving it a 5 star (I am somewhat biased since I love the games so much) because of the length of the game itself, the storyline, and as well as the mini-games in between the hidden object portion. Recommend!

What’s not to like? Spectacular graphics, creative puzzles, likeable characters, interesting challenges, decent storyline, and plenty long. Since when can I not play a game in one night, lol! I really enjoyed it. There could have been a bit more creativity in the type of HO games, rather than always finding random components of your desired article in an unrelated picture, but really the items always turned out so beautiful it does not take a star off for me. I truly recommend this one.

Hops are FROGs (fragmented objects) in this game, just fair warning. This doesn’t bother me, but it might some. I like the ornate and colorful items you receive from them.Lovely graphics. Lots of puzzles, yay! They range from easy to medium, and are uniquely designed. The storyline is good. I do wish the Parables you collect would actually cohere to the gameplay, but I don’t think I’ve played a Dark Parables yet that actually did that. So, the stories told in the Parables, while similar to the game, are not exactly the same. It was weird to have the red riding hood sisters appear but not be more involved. The game was long. The bonus game is good. You collect fleur de lys in each scene, 39 in all. Parables are morphing objects that you find randomly throughout the game. If you want them all, I suggest you refer to the strategy guide.All in all, a delightful, entertaining game!

The puzzles were new feeling and the game was longer than their games usually are. I personally don’t care about the HOPs as much as everyone else seems to. I do like the ones that you use the objects better, but it’s still a worthwhile game imo...especially being on sale right now.
