### 2/5 — Energy

*2024-04-17*

It’s unfortunate that another company has gone the way of trying to get more money from the consumers. You need to buy energy or wait hours to start playing again,ridiculous

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2023-12-08*

I’ve always enjoyed this series of games. You paid for it once and that was it. This is the latest one I’ve started playing and I see it’s gone the way of all the other pay to play games. Now you have to buy energy or wait hours for it to refill, ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Detectives 5

*2023-10-19, version 1.0.0*

I had to renew three times and it was still asking for more money.
Won’t buy any more.

### 1/5 — Not free to play

*2022-08-27, version 1.0.0*

If you're going to say the game is F2P then it should be. It's misleading to start the game to find out it requires energy that takes hours to fill unless you want to pay money. I noticed the developers response to this issue is to buy the game outright, in which case don't advertise as F2P in the first place.

### 1/5 — Desk code glitch

*2022-08-14*

I have the same problem as Rosi mentioned in April. It’s now August and still hasn’t been fixed.

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for the review. Could you please contact us at support@elephant-games.am if the problem still relevant to you? We'll do our best to fix it!

### 1/5 — Detective 5

*2022-06-06, version 1.0.0*

al your game need énergie i Nevers play Whitney your game

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2022-05-26*

Love your f2p games. Keep them coming! Thank you.

**Developer response:** Hello there! Thank you so much for the review. We really appreciate it!

### 1/5 — Energy Refill System is Awful.

*2022-05-13, version 1.0.0*

Bad system to try and make someone pay for a “F2P” game. Deleted immediately.

### 3/5 — Wait for energy to refill??

*2022-05-07, version 1.0.0*

No. Just no.

### 1/5 — Awful game

*2022-05-06, version 1.0.0*

You have to wait ages for energy to reload and sometimes the game crashes where you have to restart the whole game again, like nothing has been saved! Deleted app without even finishing it
