I loved this game! The story line sucked me in (& I rarely pay attention to the stories, so that’s not a common thing for me.) I was actually disappointed when I beat the game - I wasn’t ready to quit playing! 😏The attention they gave to the “scenery” & the backgrounds was great, it was very attractive; detailed, but not so cluttered (or bright) that it got irritating. (Does anyone else get irritated by that? It makes me feel like I’m dyslexic, & like my eyes are crossing!)I enjoyed the matching games played to defeat the ghost souls, and the HOPs, too. I will say that there really weren’t very many HOPs, maybe 6-7 in the whole game. (it may be more, but that’s how I recall it.) You have to go to different islands to find the beads, and I really enjoyed the way the swamp was made, and the Boatman was awesome! I really enjoyed his stories about each of the destinations. I don’t usually like having to use a map (in the game itself, not the map OF the game, if that makes sense?) to fly, boat, drive, (whatever) to reach the character’s destinations, but as I said - the Boatman’s stories, & the short distances made it fun. It’s not a difficult game, but it’s not super easy, either. (Although you can make it be to each extreme when you choose the settings, of course.) Did anyone else think it was a little short? I can’t really tell, because I zoomed through it ... but was it short, or was it due to how much I enjoyed playing? 😁I highly recommend this one!

Got it only because it was on sale & most of the new releases don’t appeal to me. That being said I’m glad I did! It wasn’t difficult by any means but then I play on Casual Mode.... I found the storyline somewhat repetitive but yet enjoyable - A great way to spend the day indoors in the A/C when it’s over 100 outside!

This one was good -- pretty entertaining, pretty predictable, but short. At least there were some interesting characters, some startling moments. There is a formula that all these big fish games follow, so not much variation from the two others I played this week. I got bored. This social distancing time-out leaves a lot of extra time, but, though I've tried, I can't binge on these games. I wish I could because there are so many of them.I'd much rather pay for and play a game that is a fresh idea than pay the same price for a lower quality, mass produced game. I've noticed a decline in the overall quality of HO games over the last five years --that's the kiss of death for the fun factor and it's not fair to people who really liked the genre.

I've only played the sample game, so I don't know everything. But, it seems like fun, with a few exceptions. I don't like the match the items games which you have to play whenever you need to use the medallion. If I wanted to match three, I’d buy a match three game! That ruined it for me. Some of the items I skipped because they were boring. Luckily, it still had lots to recommend it.It has a good map and hint system. The map allows you to teleport to new locations. But, I left the game for a while, after I gave the picture to the boatman, and when I reopened the game it was stuck. It finally reset somehow, and the boat took off to the next island.I wish they didn’t include the match three. I REALLY hate them!
