Didn’t take too long to beat this game (3.5 hours or so), but you might be able to stretch this out to 5 or 6 hours. Not a particularly long game either way.
Having come from Mystery Case Files (the earlier ones not the later ones), I was expecting a Hidden Object game, but while there is some hidden object gameplay here, it’s relatively sparse in comparison to MCF, and nothing too difficult. The puzzles are not particularly hard either. Otherwise, you’re mainly just running around trying to collect items and use them elsewhere in order to get more items.

Bridge to Another World: Secrets of the Nutcracker Collector’s Edition
A good holiday season HOPA game. It’s not especially long, but had some advantages over other “Christmas” games I’ve played:
-
the story is well-imagined and draws from the original without repeating it
-
there is variety both in the puzzles and the HO scenes
-
the music is relaxing and classical (and changes as appropriate), but isn’t “Christmas music”
-
the secondary characters are relevant and well-designed, even if they don’t have a lot of depth
-
the voice acting is… well, it varies in quality, but generally works with the characters

This is an enjoyable HOG game, if you like those types of games. The minigames aren’t too terribly difficult (compared to others that I’ve seen in some games). I didn’t need any hints and didn’t use any skips. It just took some time to figure things out.
This game has a guide, including a section that shows where the collectibles are.
It has a map you can click on to travel and that shows where you’ve got activities you can do.
It has multiple difficulty settings
I also has 2 types of collectibles (Glass globes and morphing objects)

First off let me start by saying:
This game will suck for most users.
That said, I loved it. I use it with a smokeless range system called projekt ares.
Basically the system uses a camera to track laser dots as mouse clicks. I’m using an ar15 with nextleveltrainings ar15 laser bolt. So I aim and pull the trigger on the little TV monster and it posts a dot for 1/10th a second. Or, in this case a mouse click.
And yay! For 0.99$ its a great game to have in my library for this and only this. If I didn’t have a $3000+ set up to run this $0.99 game, then it would be awful. It is still awful…. just much less so.

Whats wrong with me?
It is half-translated, things make no sense, no tutorial or control options so out of those 37 minutes 20 of them was how to make the game run, what button does what, how to use items and so on.. It also has very bad graphic options and lags for no reason. It is not a fun experience and it’s not worth it, not even if it was 0,39.
It’s extremely short and the “story” makes 0 sense especially with it being half translated.

Hero Puzzle
Overall - I did not expect to get a game which contains riddles which are difficult or somehow challenging… other reviews were clear about this.
It was more intended to be something where children can learn to use a mouse and click at the right place - no difficult puzzels needed for that..
Nevertheless.. after some time you will see the same levels again and again… And in the current state, where the save option does not work it is quite frustrating and looses alot of the possible motivation to do some more levels…

A puzzle game in which we will play a knight who has to save his princess and get to the treasure chest.
The essence of the game is to open the valves with lava and water in the right order so as not to hurt the main character and the princess. When lava and water interact, it turns into stone, which is a kind of bridge on which the hero can move freely. We can build a castle on the collected gold coins.
It is worth noting the pleasant graphics, perfectly drawn characters and musical composition.

Super Web Kittens: Act I
Going into this I didn’t have high expectation for a game like this, I mean come on you can’t blame me with a video like that and the whole game being based around cats (And dogs). I decided to bite the bullet and drop the $5 and started the download, After the download finished I started the game and started playing, After about at most an hour I finished the chapter and I can say both the story and premise of the game was both engaging and interesting. The dialogue between characters was both entertaining and interesting, Honestly the only thing I don’t like about this game is the grammar errors every few dialogue boxes. (Sorta ironic as my grammar isn’t good either) But I honestly can forgive that for a Act 2!

Press E, read story, that’s about it. The Cat’s are cute. Glad I only paid .99 for this game.

Time Trap 2 - Search and Find Objects Game - Hidden Pictures
The game is inexpensive and for the money it is a great game in the style of story-driven puzzles. The world is distorted here, but how deeply you explore it, so deeply new interesting moments open up in it. Very beautiful elements for drawing events, backgrounds, pictures. Undoubtedly, it is worth noting the music, which deeply immerses in the game. I will definitely recommend this game to all fans of the genre, because it literally “captures” you for many hours.

More of the same from Crisp App studio, story doesn’t make much sense but the HOGs are good. I do like the crazy surreal sci-fi scenes in this one. There are more non HOGs than the previous game such as spot the difference and swap-pieces until the image is done type thing.

DOM RUSALOK
Intriguing and effective at the best of times, Dom Rusalok has the potential to be a very enjoyable experience for the right person - so long as a few bumps in the road can be overlooked regarding the gameplay.
All in all, I can recommend this.

It is unabashedly a nostalgia porn for anyone growing up in Russia in the 90s. The dialogues are believable, the situations - understandable, the otherwise purposeless close ups of items most of us had or at least often saw tickle the nostalgia bone.
The atmosphere of a nice urban legend carries this pretty far.
The gameplay is very much assessible and fun, think The Cat Lady.
At some point things start getting ridiculous, and personally I don’t appreciate the direction it leads the story to. Not even sure I understood the ending, and as such, it didn’t leave any emotional impact on me. Thinking back to it, I can see it explained in two different ways, and would consider neither fitting or good. Maybe it’s on me and the game is deeper than I think, but personally I detest purposeful ambiguity for the sake of it.

Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures
A charming and cute point & click adventure brought back from the grave by Telltale. I was looking for this game for ages and I am glad they re-released it for Steam. Though I would say it is definitely a game for only big fans of W&G. There isn’t much engaging in the game play department unfortunately.
+Eye-catching levels filled with whimsy and captures the essence of the W&G animated classics really well
+Voice acting is actually great, it takes a while to adjust to new Wallace but he does a good job

Wallace and Gromit’s Grand Adventures; Episode 1 of Fright of the bumblebees.
Wallace and Gromit is a point and click game where the story revolves around the popular duo. True to the style of a Wallace and Gromit animation, created by Nick Park and Aardman Animations, the game is a puzzle, picking items up to combine them by interacting with people or other objects to progress through the game, which is my least preferable style of game.
Developed by Telltale, a developer which has popular recognition for other titles such as The Walking Dead series, The Wolf Among Us, Tales from the Borderland, Guardians of the Galaxy, Game of Thrones, Batman, and more. However, Telltales other game, Back to the Future, has a closer resemblance than the aforementioned games in that, not just the style, the story might be more appreciated by others whom have an inclination towards Wallace and Gromit films and series as this game was not one that impacted me, being born in the late 70s, as much as Back to the Future.
