  • Same as the rest of this series

    So I guess we’re down to one game a week now. No new game this morning. Very disappointing. Maybe with a stroke of luck new mngt will take over at big fish and get things running smoothly again. Maybe my review will actually be posted this time to which seems hit and miss lately. Come on big fish!

    Same as the rest of this series with a few improvements. I’d like to point out that changing Richard’s voice, Anna’s dad, was a welcome change not bad like another reviewer said. Before it was long and drawn out and just painful to listen to so thanks for speeding that up! Same usual perks as we expect with teleporting map etc. guess I’m a little bored with this series. The first 3 were incredible and put elephant games at the top of my list but from that point they got shorter and shorter and less interesting to me. Grim tales: the legacy was the bomb, long and captivating story. I like more adventure and not a puzzle every 3steps but that’s a personal thing. I’m still considering buying. Maybe it gets better? Big fish has been increasingly failing us with less new releases and sales on games we’ve already played so if there’s no new release then maybe I’ll buy it, not sure. FYI..absolutist just released a new one. It’s different, ok.
  • It’s A Winner!!

    So far I am Loving this game! Good storyline, interactive tasks to complete, teleporting map that actually transports, unlike the previous game. Morphing and collectibles to find. Beautiful, crisp and clear graphics. Of course, we have our trusty friend Richard. Puzzles are unique, some simplistic, while others are a little more challenging. So Happy 😀 to be playing a real hidden object/adventure mystery game. Hope we will see more on a regular basis. Highly recommend buying this game!
    Happy Gaming Everyone!!! 😋

    *Okay Big Fish Let’s Get on With the New Releases! How could the company who previously owned Big Fish Release a New Game everyday and since you have purchased the company we are Very Lucky to get 2 games a week? The changes have NOT been for the better. We used to get New games on particular days and now it’s just whenever you feel like it - (Time Wise & Day Wise)
    Please start taking better care of your Loyal customer base.
    Hope to see some Big Changes Soon!!!!!
  • Didn’t Hold My Interest

    Only 3 stars because:
    1. Couldn’t return to locate missed puzzle pieces when playing the Bonus game.
    2. Interactive map does not show collectible objects to be found.
    3. Refresh rate needs to be faster.
    4. When playing, there is no button showing that a collectible object is to be found on the current screen.
    5. Game is short, even including the Bonus chapter.
    6. The skull’s dialogue is childish at times. Not scary as in the past.

    Otherwise, there are no glitches. I enjoyed playing the HOPs.
  • Good game!

    I gave 4/5 stars because the gems were a bit confusing, & I felt the game didn’t give enough of an explanation on how we were supposed to solve it. The forest & the compass game,for example - I found the patterns fine, but it didn’t tell me a thing about which one to choose. All 3 choices were lit up!
    That’s the only issue I had - the rest of the game was great! Heavy on the Games, & I liked the HOGs a lot. It’s like a fresh drink after being thirsty for a long time waiting for one between games!
  • Super short!

    This is my favorite series. Unfortunately, it is appallingly brief, with almost no story or goals. They also changed the voice actor for Richard, exchanging a deep, spooky voice with an almost high-pitched speaker. Richard is no longer edgy, but accommodating and sweet- an big loss for the series. Anyone know why, even though there are 390 reviews, I can only read 10 of them? I can see my favorite reviewers anymore. Also, anyone know how I can filter out the annoying gambling or stellar games, such as “Can’t Be Die,” when trying to find HOGs by release date? Anyone know why the, “a new game every day” company doesn’t even have a new game twice a week anymore?it used to be related to updating their software, but that’s been a year now. Come on! I think it’s time for me to break my HOG habit...
  • Another fun game by elephant games

    Plot is better than average. Standard find the killer. Mini games are challenging. Game flow is logical. Voice acting is good.

    No glitches.
  • Big Fish has changed the lore of the game.

    Big fish has changed the floor of the game making it less spooky then it should be. Anna Gray’s Father was evil before he died and he tried to kill Anna. Now big fish has changed his voice and has also made him into a sweet man instead of the rascal that he was. I don’t appreciate it and I also don’t appreciate the change in voice actors.
  • Illogical mini games/ too short

    Nice graphics but they don't make up for the poorly thought-out mini games that are nearly impossible to figure (really bad instructions) and that I had to skip constantly, wasting the $3.99 I shelled out for this. Very short game. No bonus game, either. Not worth the money, imo.
  • Wow

    This is the first game I’ve finished all at once in at least 18 months. Considering I used to buy EVERY Big Fish game as they were released when I first started playing these type of games, that says a lot. Storyline is interesting, graphics are comparable to others in the series as is most other attributes.
  • Good game but glitchy

    I enjoyed this game and would have given it a 5 star rating except for the skull puzzle not working. The colored squares could not be moved, and was very frustrating. Don’t like to have to skip a puzzle without attempting to solve..
