I’ve got all of the Expansion Packs with the game. It was a great deal on Steam with the bundle. I really enjoy working on these puzzles. It’s stress relief and really neat on seeing the finished project each time. It’s a casual game and you don’t have to worry about time. Just enjoy and that’s it.

Escape of Mari: The Polar Ladybug
Who knew that a tiny ladybug could cause so much headache? Help Mari navigate and make your brain twist for a solution in this frozen puzzler that will warm up your hearts. It’s difficult but fair.
It’s a very underappreciated game that got lost with a high initial price. It was worth that price as it is actually very very good but nobody ever gave it a chance.. I’ve had it for quite some time but unfortunately couldn’t review it (before the price drop).
Given the price reduction BUY IT A-S-A-P as you are missing out. Very nice stages, good design, smooth gameplay and a real puzzler that will take a lot of your time to finish. It can frustrate at times but you will get the handle of it and feel accomplished in the end of the level.

Faerie Solitaire Remastered
I’ve given this remaster 10 hours now and made notes on the differences, and I feel like I can do a decent review now. Disclaimer: I love the original Faerie Solitaire. I got it on sale for 99 cents, and I love it enough that twice now I’ve deleted the game file that keeps track of the in-game feats (not the Steam achievements) so that I could have a more legitimate reason to play it more. I’m not nearly as enamored with this version, so I’ll start with the cons.

7.5/10
I finally decided to give this solitaire game a try after seeing it mentioned as a favorite by users in their reviews of various other solitaire games. I waited for a while to see if it would go on sale, but this apparently has never happened.
Initially, I can see the appeal. In Faerie Solitaire, you collect “eggs” while playing levels, which you can then “hatch.” A creature is then revealed which will grow as you continue to play. Once the creature is “grown,” you can spend a combination of three different resources (also found within the levels) to “evolve” the creature. As far as I can tell, these creatures have no impact at all on completing the game’s solitaire levels – however, they provide an additional progress bar and goal to pursue for players.

The Book of Unwritten Tales 2
A charming, hilarious and fun adventure with the perfect balance of puzzle difficulty. This point and click has my favourite puzzle design because they are not too hard to figure out, but also not too easy. The characters are unique, interesting and lively, and the graphics are gorgeous without putting too much strain on a computer (as a laptop gamer, I especially appreciate this as there is nothing sadder to me than a game I really want to play with specs that my computer can just about manage with lags). As in the first game, Wilbur is an absolute treasure, Ivo is as great a female character as ever and Critter is quirky, sweet and loyal. Nate has grown more likable in this game as well as gained a fair amount of depth and development.

If you played ‘The Book of Unwritten Tales (1)" you will probably enjoy this sequel. It brings back all the main characters from the first game and introduces a few new ones.
The textures and rigging are a little better than the first and the mechanics and walk paths are a little smoother but I still found that some of the walk paths (especially when you are switching between characters) are a little weird. You don’t have to do any pixel hunting because you can highlight all items that you can interact with so it’s hard to miss something. Some of the puzzles are not very logical to solve but most of them are reasonable.

Magic Potion Destroyer
If you’re the kinda guy who one day dreams of having a fully automated army of robot slaves to do your every bidding, then this is the game for you. Also math. Cause math=fun, right?
Alt review: it’s a clicker without the clicking, and a much better story, graphics, and music than it’s predecessor.. Also way more challenging, cause some of the higher difficulties include the possibility of losing. The hardest difficulty? You can’t replay levels/grind, and if you die, you have to start from scratch.

Strangely compelling semi-idle game with great music.

I only got this game because I grew up doing puzzles and I like fantasy art. The art is typical female-based fantasy art and the pictures are nice. There are 20 different pictures. They follow the D&D and fantasy art concept that less armor is more when it comes to female characters.
To complete the 100 achievements, you have to do each puzzle 5 times. Each puzzle has 12, 24, 48, 96, and 192 pieces. Obviously, the fewer piece options are very easy. The 96 and 192 piece options take longer. Some of the 192 piece puzzles took me between 20-30 minutes. There is a hint option, but I didn’t use it other than to see what it was. You can also save the puzzle that you are working on and go back to it.

Faerie Solitaire Harvest
At its core, Faerie Solitaire Harvest is Mahjong; that is, matching cards of identical value to remove them from the board.
Just like in Faerie Solitaire, Subsoap includes a good supply of abilities- in this game called “Talents” - which help to give the player more options than in a real-life card game of the same nature. The gameplay allows creativity and strategization, and I for one very strongly like that.
The music is very enjoyable as well. Placeholder paragraph for Harvest’s music.
The art in this game is, I’ll have to settle on saying for now, very good. It is staunchly improved from the first Faerie Solitaire; each Card, each icon for the Talents, and the pets are interesting and encapsulating to behold. I let this be a placeholder paragraph for until I can share my more fleshed-out review.

Standalone game set in the same universe as Faerie Solitaire.
I have always hated this type of solitaire… Until now. During the course of beta-testing, Faerie Solitaire Harvest has become the best, most-addictive solitaire game I’ve ever played.
The story is not like what we experienced in Faerie Solitaire. This time we find “shards” of lore that give us a lot of information about Faeverse and its denizens.
Options include separate sliders for Music, Ambience and Effects, plus Full-screen/Windowed and Custom Cursor. Under Game, you can even customize the colors of your suits! For instance, I made mine Violet and Pink instead of Black and Red.

The Little Acre
The Little Acre is one of those games you don’t really want to give a negative review, mainly because of it’s beautifully hand-drawn animations. If there was a ‘mixed’ choice I would have chosen that one.
First of all, the game is really short. I left the game running while doing something else so I can’t say how long it really is but I’m pretty sure it’s less than 2 hours and I did not rush through the game.
A short game does not have to be bad but in this case it does hurt the story. Personally to me it felt like the game was rushed, especially at the end. There are still several things unexplained at the end of the game as well. Voice acting was good enough, not amazing but it didn’t really have to be. I did notice the voice actors got less lines as the story progresses.

Let me preface this review by saying The Little Acre has tons of charm and care put into it. The animation is all frame by frame and it looks so beautiful, the voice acting is great and the characters are all really likeable. It’s a very lovely game.
Unfortunately it is just too short - your first playthough will probably not last more than one hour and a few minutes. Usually I wouldn’t say a game being short is necessarily a negative aspect, but for an adventure game, and one with big potential such as this, that’s nowhere near enough time for anything to be well developed, as it’s over before you know it. Worse, the gameplay is split between two characters in different situations, so you get even less time and development with each of them.

The Secret Order 7: Shadow Breach
Let’s keep this short: this is an Artifex Mundi-published HOG. You know how they work, and you know what to expect both in terms of gameplay and graphics here.
The good news is that this one, like most of the games in this particular series, does not disappoint. The graphics are nice, gameplay is smooth, and most of the puzzles are at least decent and functional (although I’m getting kind of tired of the three-rings-of-beads puzzle that keeps getting used in every single game). No sliding tiles, so that’s always good.

Well, yet another classic Artifex Mundi game. You walk over odd locations, collect various junk, stick it in the oddly shaped places and get oddly reasonable results. All that makes perfectly absurd kinds of sense. Someone made a royal mess out of everything around, so our heroine with a bad case of OCD is always busy with sorting through piles of useless junk.
Basically, it’s more of the same. Same puzzles as in previous games with different pictures, same problems with these games, one bugged 3-colored-lasers minigame which I had to fiddle around with to make it work and a reused location from the previous game I guess. Nothing new. Overall image and video quality on the higher end of the spectrum for Artifex games, so I have nothing to complain about here. I have seen worse from them. Much worse.

Defend Your Castle
The play for this game is very different from the original flash version, and in a way that I think it makes it much less interesting and engaging. I think the primary difference is that you don’t get points for archer kills, which makes it essentially impossible to set up the castle defense to largely run itself. Even if you make it to fairly advanced levels, you’re still going to need to sit at the screen and manually fling attackers if you want to keeping building the castle. Additionally, conversion of enemies to defenders is much slower, which makes the game drag a bit. In exchange the attackers are slower and less numerous, even to the point where this game is much easier to survive than the original (I played on normal level difficulty). I guess in summary if you just want to fling attackers around it’s great, but for me a lot of the fun was transitioning from that approach in the early stages to having a well-managed castle fend for itself later on.
