### 2/5 — Needs updating

*2024-02-14, version 1.0.0*

This game is starting to die. Please update. The story is great, but it is hard to play now.

### 3/5 — Chimeras: Cursed and Forgotten

*2021-03-01, version 1.0.0*

I enjoy the game, but it is starting to deteriorate. There are so many white shapes everywhere I cannot see some of the areas. It is very hard to be focused. I don’t know if you can fix it, but it is almost unplayable.

### 2/5 — Cursed and forgotten

*2021-01-20, version 1.0.0*

I don’t know what’s wrong with the graphics, but it’s not clear. It looks like your drafts are bleeding though the scenery. The  highlighted areas are big and blurred ,makes it difficult to see some areas. It also distracts me from following the game. It’s really very annoying.

### 3/5 — Graphics need updating

*2020-11-24, version 1.0.0*

Interesting game but the graphics really needs an update... really distracting when trying to play.

### 4/5 — Excellent I liked it a lot  lots of cool art and games

*2020-09-09, version 1.0.0*

I liked it a lot  lots of cool art and games

### 4/5 — Good but pricey

*2020-02-24, version 1.0.0*

Nice game. My only complaint is that to biy it is $7.

### 3/5 — Great game but way too short for the price

*2019-11-09, version 1.0.0*

$10.99, really Big Fish? How can you justify that price when I did the trial and decided to buy at full price only for it to finish 20 minutes later! Feel completely ripped off to be honest. Graphics and storyline were great but either make your games cheaper or make them longer. I buy so many Big Fish games from the App Store but this one has me second guessing if I should go elsewhere. 3 stars only because of the graphics and storyline.

### 2/5 — Wasted items...

*2019-07-09, version 1.0.0*

I can’t believe how dissatisfying this game turned out to be. There are dozens of objects and puzzles for each section that are absolutely useless. When you reach an objective, all the unfinished puzzles and unused items are erased and you start with 2 or 3 items. It’s such a huge waste of time. And it’s not that I reached an objective before using the items, the things you find are just useless... a a huge and bitter disappointment! Lazy.

### 4/5 — Delightful but short

*2019-02-22, version 1.0.0*

Loved the immersion into medieval Scotland; the music, characters, and scenery all served to make you feel like you are really there! There are morphing objects in every scene, sometimes two. You collect them in the main and bonus game, but there are only 32 of them! There are only 30 scenes in the entire game!! Which is sad, because it was a great game. The puzzles are mostly mid easy, wish there was more of a challenge. Hops are varied; silhouette, list, combinatory, matching. Elephant always does great with the variety of their hops. If you don’t mind a short game, then buy. Everything else was good. I deducted a star for length, and half a star for too easy puzzles. So real rating of 3.5 bumped up to 4 for the atmosphere.

### 2/5 — No way out

*2018-10-24, version 1.0.0*

Love this type of object game but this one get stuck and there is no way out!

### 2/5 — 短いし内容も薄い

*2018-08-20, version 1.0.0*

ミニゲームも簡単でストーリーもサクサク進むけど、その分内容も薄い感じ。

### 3/5 — When it isn’t frozen, its great

*2018-06-16, version 1.0.0*

Really like Big Fish games. But this one freezes upon opening and after paying for it, that is really frustrating. The freeze comes after the “advertisement” for another game comes up. 
Also, with the ios updates, all these games I paid for NO LONGER WORK. 
Thanks for that.

### 4/5 — Ich finds nett!

*2018-06-10, version 1.0.0*

Leicht zu spielen, nette Geschichte. Bin noch in der Probezeit, werde es vielleicht kaufen, 3,49€ geht so.

### 4/5 — Good Game

*2017-11-25, version 1.0.0*

But had problems with it freezing so many times, plus putting ads on didn't help. That is why you only get 4 stars.

### 2/5 — Too short

*2017-08-03, version 1.0.0*

The game is way too short and boring. It was easy to guess what would happen. Took me about a half hour to complete, not worth the $10 I paid. Also, the music score is awful.

*2025-08-09, version 1.0.0*

Just downloaded and impossible to play. Flashing lights and picture not clear. Something seriously wrong with this app.

### 1/5 — Beware it will steal your money

*2023-09-11, version 1.0.0*

I was playing it even though it had boxy frames on every clickable from not being updated. And got to the download screen. I decided to pay and download the rest for the story. After download it closed up and won’t even open. $6.99 out the window!

### 1/5 — 不具合

*2021-12-31, version 1.0.0*

せっかくセールで買ったのに､画像がおかしいので、返金を要請したが、返答なく､あきらめて､数ヶ月後挑戦したが、直ってない。お試しゲームしてから、セール以外は、怖くて買えない。

### 1/5 — It’s awful

*2021-07-01, version 1.0.0*

I bought this game two years ago and Re downloaded it. The purchase I made was successful to I have the main game and bonus. However the screens I play on are obliterated by flashing boxes and objects which makes it nearly impossible to see what is required. It is driving me barmy

### 1/5 — Chimeras and forgotten

*2021-05-04, version 1.0.0*

There is something seriously wrong with this game.  It has all kinds of strange things floating around in it and makes it impossible to play!

### 1/5 — Pixelated now

*2020-12-31, version 1.0.0*

It can’t be played due to the iPad update messing up the graphics.

### 1/5 — Не поддерживается ios14

*2020-11-22, version 1.0.0*

Игра работает некорректно в iOS 14 , картинка рассыпается на квадраты, исправьте цену повысили, качество упало

### 1/5 — Kann ich auch nicht kaufen

*2017-10-06, version 1.0.0*

.....weil es beim erneuten runter laden dann wieder auf englisch ist wie bei zig anderen Spielen, die ich gekauft habe...daher gebe ich dafür kein Geld mehr aus

### 1/5 — Good bug

*2017-07-01, version 1.0.0*

Vous faites de la fausse information en nous disant que l'on peut jouer indéfiniment,car avec les mises a jour on nous dit que le jeux n'a pas de mise à jour,on est toujours les dindons de la farce ,grassement payé j'estime que c'est un vol bien organisé,faudrait revoir un peu les règles du jeu,personnellement,c'est fini je n'achète plus rien chez vous

### 1/5 — 😡

*2017-04-01, version 1.0.0*

### 5/5 — Big fish

*2022-07-02, version 1.0.0*

I love it

### 5/5 — 🥰

*2019-05-08, version 1.0.0*

Отличная игра кик и все игра от «элефант гейм»

### 5/5 — An Elephant Game!

*2018-12-04, version 1.0.0*

My favourite game creator! Even if the Scottish accents are shocking! Use Scottish people please! So far, enjoying this - maybe leave the review prompt until after gameplay? Otherwise, nice graphics, no glitches, variety of mini-games & interesting narrative. As a Scot, I cringe at the accents, some of which border on a Mid-Atlantic Irish twang but I’ve learned to laugh at the attempts - why not ask for volunteers?! 
Note to Big Fish: please add the name of the game creator to the game details page!

### 5/5 — I loved it

*2018-10-19, version 1.0.0*

I don’t find many games that keep my attention. This one held it until the end so much so that I found another game by the same developer.

### 5/5 — Прекрасная игра

*2018-02-08, version 1.0.0*

Все грузится и проходится на ура!!!!
Необычный поворот сюжета очень порадовал; в остальном, все как всегда.... 
Спасибо разработчикам!!!
Рекомендую любителям таких игр, не пожалеете...

### 5/5 — Absolutely fantastic game

Great mind blowing games, never get bored playing them.

### 5/5 — Funny

*2017-05-29, version 1.0.0*

Good Game and Nice Graphics.

### 5/5 — Chimeras forgotten

*2017-05-08, version 1.0.0*

A brilliant game as are all chimera games.
A few hiccups along the way freezing,
And a shame you can't find the morphs,& jigsaw pieces you missed at the end.

### 5/5 — Chimeras 3; Love this series!! No glitches!!

*2017-04-19, version 1.0.0*

Bought this game when it first appeared in iTunes. A beautiful addition to the Chimeras series ...I have both 1 and 2 and even bought the Chimeras 3 ( Full) game version recently when it was on special as well . Elephant Games you are definitely the best of the best....puzzles and mini-games not too hard, (game just the right length for me) , and the usual beautiful graphics! Great map too....thank you so much for creating!!
