DragonScales 5: The Frozen Tomb
’ve been following the DragonScales saga for a while, and keep getting surprised at how good it gets every single time.
Great to finally be able to buy it at Steam, and now off to lose hours matching scales and discovering how the story goes on.

After taming Ribeus in DragonScales 5, Zarya will release the dragon’s power to confront the Dark Empress, the merciless ruler of the Gravity Kingdom.

For the first time in DragonScales, Zarya will have to battle against a line-up of multiple enemies. DragonScales 6 concludes Zarya’s story arc!

Closing Remarks
-
This game does not include timed levels. You can take all the time you want to complete each level. However, once you complete the game you can try to beat your own times (Royal challenge).
-
You don’t have to play previous DragonScales games to understand how to play. Playing DragonScales 4 and 5 obviously helps to understand the whole setting, but the story of DragonScales 6 holds well on its own.
-
The first levels of DragonScales 6 are really simple. However, the degree of difficulty rises up as you progress. If a puzzle proves to be too challenging, you can always skip the level. Skipping a level does not affect the course of the story. Besides, the game has a single ending.
-
Unlike previous DragonScales games, in DragonScales 6 the power-ups are not entirely optional. For instance, the only way to get the star in Level 3-7 is by using Ribeus power-up.
-
Battles in DragonScales 5 are for wizards. In DragonScales 6 the battle system is different and much more relaxed.

Artifact Quest 2 - Match 3 Puzzle
I liked the match tiles quality but not the silly story
– Real player with 79.7 hrs in game
Played this game over about 2 weeks every night while falling asleep, or as a brain teaser occasionally throughout the day. Love the small challenge in it and the fact that there is a relaxed mode with no time limit, so that you can wind down with the game. Easy achievements as well! It’s a little gem of a game for calming yourself down or adding to a nighttime routine, at least in the short term.

Secrets of Magic 2: Witches and Wizards
“Secrets of Magic 2: Witches and Wizards” is a fun little Match 3 casual game. It took me 14.6 hours to complete it with all Achievements. Since the list price is just about $10 (and I bought it for about $5), it’s definitely worth the money (I’m recommending it). I only have a couple of minor nits with it. First, even though the tutorial explains just about everything, it didn’t mention the flask and explosive “tiles” (easily figured out). And, second, even though I got the full 3 stars on level 99 (there are 100 total levels), it only recorded that as 1 star. So, after finishing the game, I didn’t get the “All Stars” Achievement. Looking at the in-game Achievement area showed I was short 3 stars (297/300 – which is odd, since with the recorded 1 star on that level, I should have had 298/300). I re-did the level (getting all 3 stars) and this time, it recorded as such (and I got the Achievement). Other than that, no issues at all. A nice, enjoyable game.

I dislike cats, and noisy birds drive me insane… But I love these games!
Particularly this 3rd installment… Nice ambience.
In space, no-one can hear birds scream/squawk/trill/tweet.

This is kind of sad, it’s in the style of the first Ninja Stealth, so it is better than Ninja Stealth 2, but it’s a downgrade from 1 in several ways.
The first one had an interesting interconnected maze between the puzzles that created a larger atmosphere and the music kept the pace of the game flowing naturally. Two went off and became a weird RPG-ish mimic that wasn’t as good as the original.
Three is back to the style of one with the puzzles, but it lacks the interconnecting maze; each puzzle is a stand alone small room so there’s no larger sense of exploration anymore. And it completely lacks music during the puzzles, it’s only on the menu. One of the best parts of the previous games was the music and it’s missing.
