Too bad, as it is a nice game otherwise. ### 2/5 — Too many glitches *2024-06-29, version 1.0.0* Waaaaay too glitchy. Only becomes noticeable until AFTER you purchase the game following free play. ### 4/5 — Grim tales Revenge, *2023-02-05, version 1.0.0* Great game, too short ### 2/5 — Vengeance *2023-01-07, version 1.0.0* I had to replay this game 4 times. It freezes on me and just recently was doing a object scene and I could not puck up a feather to put on hat. The same goes for the cannon scene. You charging me for a game that I have not enjoy because of the problems ### 4/5 — Big Fish *2022-12-04, version 1.0.0* I have always liked Big Fish games and have not experienced any problems with them so far. I especially enjoy the series of the Gray Family. Always entertaining, and challenging without being intimidating. ### 4/5 — Super *2021-07-27, version 1.0.0* Great game, it’s quite long and lots of things to do. ### 4/5 — So far, so good. Vengeance 1/21/21 second review *2021-01-22, version 1.0.0* Haven't played long enough to decide if I like or not. Might have possibilities. #2 Enjoyed the game but had some issues with screen sensitivity.....very frustrating! Had a hard time seeing details on some shots, very small details were really way too small. Thank you for the game! Grim Tales is just about my favorite. ### 3/5 — Was ok, not one of my favourites *2019-09-24, version 1.0.0* Interesting concept but small in parts and I skipped most of the puzzles as I found them too tedious or difficult. ### 4/5 — Great game *2018-12-19, version 1.0.0* This is an older game that I am replaying, and apparently I did not write a review the first time. At this point in time, there is nothing innovative about the HOs, but back then probably so. The puzzles are okay, great visuals with them, but not hard. The story is entertaining. For being a three year old game, the graphics are amazingly good. Game length is good. Still worth buying/playing three years later! ### 2/5 — Trial needs to be longer *2018-12-18, version 1.0.0* I won’t be buying this game because the trial was way too short to enable me to judge whether I would like to play the full game. Seemed like a “goer” but then came to an abrupt end. Graphics, what I saw of them, seemed good but storyline?? Other games generally give more “footage” in a try to buy. ### 3/5 — Good game *2018-11-09, version 1.0.0* This is a good game, keeps my interest. The only problem, sometimes I have problems getting it to response to my touch screen. I have to touch it multiple times, ten and up before it responses. Very frustrating, it makes it difficult to complete a game or a hidden object game. ### 3/5 — Hint button *2018-03-12, version 1.0.0* My hubby and I have played hundreds of these games and I have to say this is the first one with the hint button on the left side. It has already caused a problem for me. I really don't like it. ### 4/5 — Vengeance *2018-02-15, version 1.0.0* Great game ### 3/5 — Good but way too short not worth £6.99 *2017-12-06, version 1.0.0* I was enjoying this game, good graphics, interesting puzzles etc but then it suddenly finished. I completed the entire thing in only a matter of hours. I paid £6.99 thinking it would be a decent length for that price but I was sorely disappointed. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t play game already purchased *2026-02-15, version 1.0.0* As title says, when I go thru the purchase process and get the message that I previously purchased and would I like it for free, I click OK, get a message that the purchase was successful but the Unlock Now never goes away and I can’t progress in the game. This is the first problem I’ve had with Grim Tales games. ### 1/5 — Graphics are all squares *2022-10-16, version 1.0.0* The graphics show up as all squares. ### 1/5 — Grim Tales la vengeance *2021-01-20, version 1.0.0* J’ai acheté le jeux mais je ne suis pas capable de le mettre en français pourquoi ### 1/5 — The last three *2021-01-06, version 1.0.0* Elephant games I’ve played got stuck midway through. By that I mean I am unable to pick up inventory items and as a result the game was over. I’ve challenged Apple to return my money and it has. ### 1/5 — Langue *2019-05-29, version 1.0.0* Pas été capable de mettre en français... ### 1/5 — Glitches *2018-07-16, version 1.0.0* Third time I am attempting to download this game and hoping to get to the end without it freezing or glitching so I either no longer have the required tool in my inventory or haven’t been able to collect it. The 2nd time through, I got less further than the first time. ### 1/5 — Stuck *2018-07-10, version 1.0.0* After using the machete to cut the vines in chapter 3 it goes away, preventing me from advancing because the machete is needed in chapter 4 to cut a branch. I hope there’s a fix for this soon. $6.99 is a lot of money fora game, especially one that I can’t play. ### 1/5 — Grim tales : la vengeance *2016-04-30, version 1.0.0* Vous annoncez jeu en français ,se charge en anglais / tant pis je n'achète pas ..... ### 1/5 — HELP! *2015-06-27, version 1.0.0* I can't get past the unlock screen!!! I have rebooted twice. Deleted the game and started over. I'm a hidden object gameaholic & have never had this problem before! I'm so disappointed I can't get this game! ### 1/5 — Not unlocking *2015-04-15, version 1.0.0* Bought Grim Tales for £3.99 so I could play Frozen Beauty game. Came to play Grim Tales and it is saying I haven't purchased it. Can't give a rating as not played it yet but had to put 1 star. Sort it out Big Fish. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Exciting *2024-04-24, version 1.0.0* Enjoyed playing- short play time. ### 5/5 — Exciting Game *2024-02-03, version 1.0.0* Fun to play.

It's got everything I look for in a HOAG and then some! Go ahead and buy this one, you're gonna love it!! Played this one a second time after a year went by & it’s definitely a keeper!!! ### 5/5 — color of fright *2019-06-16, version 1.0.0* love this series of games dont have to skip mini games music adds to atmosphere no glitches thats good keep up the good work. ### 5/5 — Love this game *2019-01-09, version 1.0.0* Really hope there is a an update with additional game play...finished it quickly but want more ### 5/5 — Good challenging game *2018-03-14, version 1.0.0* Another good puzzle game with lovely graphic.
