Was not that good of a game. J.F. ### 4/5 — Not a bad game *2021-04-21, version 1.0.0* A pretty good game, I had trouble picking up and placing objects at times and found l needed to use the hint a number of times to figure out the next move in the game. The dialogue and some of the characters were a bit hokey and silly, but I’d play the game again. ### 4/5 — Ganz gut! *2021-04-05, version 1.0.0* In den Wimmelbildern muss man manchmal mehrfach tippen, alles auch ziemlich dunkel. Bonus lang, Sammelobjekte und, im Bonus? ein Souvenirzimmer. Leider sehr altes Spiel, habe es trotzdem für 3,49€ gekauft. ### 4/5 — ☠️ 🌋 🐳 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 👍 *2019-09-29, version 1.0.0* Good game, nice graphics, although some scenes were a bit OTT with all the stuff in them. HOs were a bit much at times, but you do have an alternative.Handy jump through map. Puzzles mixed and hidden items to find in each scene. Extras including decent bonus section good, length of game good, and all for the reduced price, 👍 I'm glad BF are doing all these reduced price games, I was refusing to pay £4.99 for their games. ( most of which are not worth it) keep em coming...😻 ### 4/5 — Enjoyable game *2017-05-03, version 1.0.0* I've game is challenging enough without being too difficult. It has different kind of puzzles. The story is interesting as well. ### 3/5 — Cannon Blasts Game *2017-02-10, version 1.0.0* This game starts off very well and drew me in. You start off on a ship that you have to steer when you fall into trouble. After that, you have to prove yourself as a competent sailor before others will trust you with more sailing related activities. This was a very intriguing way of starting off this game. However, after shooting the cannon, the game went downhill for me. The storyline started to get confusing with what side I was on, why, and how I made those decisions, the scenes became dark and gloomy, and I even experienced glitches near the end of the main story and in the bonus chapter that gave me a black screen while it skipped over dialogue. These did not affect gameplay, but definitely lessened the fun factor. In the bonus chapter puzzle with bridge parts, I connected the bridge from start to all three vaults, but the game would not finish. I realized that maybe I had to use all the pillars, but the instructions said nothing about that. This was frustrating as all my parts completely connected and led to all three vaults, but I still had to redo it. There is also a bonus souvenir game with hidden objects in various scenes, but this did not add to the overall game as it did not lead to stories, parables, other bonus content, etc. ### 3/5 — Sea of Lies: Beneath the Surface *2017-02-05, version 1.0.0* Stupid game froze up in chapter 8 on the xylophone game. Do not buy this game!!! ### 3/5 — Ask 2 soon *2017-01-20, version 1.0.0* At the moment will give 3 stars, because I just started playing. So far so good, will change rating when finished ### 4/5 — Cooles Spiel *2017-01-07, version 1.0.0* Wie immer ein schönes Spiel aus der Sea of Lies Serie. Gute Animationen, kurzweiligig und selbst meine Tochter (7 Jahre) hatte grosse Lust mitzuspielen und es hat Sie nicht überfordert. Keinvweltbewegendes Game aber sehr nett zu spielen. ### 4/5 — Gutes Spiel *2017-01-03, version 1.0.0* Nette story, abwechslungsreiche wbs und Minis. Spiel läuft einwandfrei durch bei guter Spiellänge. Sammelobjekte gibts auch. Karte und Tipp helfen gut. Mir hat's gefallen. ### 4/5 — 😀 *2016-12-31, version 1.0.0* Good enough game just the storyline didn't do it for me. It's been a while since I've played a game that's got me hooked. Can't fault the game though. 😀 ### 3/5 — Короткая демо *2016-12-29, version 1.0.0* Если не планируете покупать, то и незачем загружать ### 4/5 — Pas mal..! *2016-12-26, version 1.0.0* Certains jeux changent un peu.. ### 3/5 — Beneath the surface *2016-12-19, version 1.0.0* Found it really boring ### 4/5 — Sea of Lies-Beneath the Surface *2016-12-13, version 1.0.0* Good game but bogus bonus game...like a stupid afterthought to make us think we were getting a "bonus" ### 3/5 — Average *2016-12-12, version 1.0.0* This game would have deserved a higher rating, but due to the muddy graphics it is rated a 3. ### 3/5 — Das Übliche *2016-12-12, version 1.0.0* - Die Gute Nachricht: BF scheint die Spiele wieder zum ausprobieren anzubieten. Hoffentlich bleibt das so. Ansonsten bietet dieses hier nichts Neues, mir zu viele Silhouettenwimmelbilder. Minispiele nicht neu, Story solala, Grafik ok. Objekte mussten gelegentlich mehrfach angetippt werden. ### 4/5 — Nice *2016-12-11, version 1.0.0* Liked the storyline game was fine but just not the wow factor for me,music could of been a bit better plus sound effects. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Awful *2023-08-29, version 1.0.0* Terrible service. I have purchased several of these games over the years and now none of them work. Keeps telling me that no purchase has been found for my account. Big Fish and Apple are no help 😔 ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2017-02-21, version 1.0.0* No option to use game club vouchers to purchase games for iPad, charges straight to iTunes! Rip Off! I would truly appreciate a proper hidden object game to play unlimited to unwind when I've finished work instead of the tedious long winded 'adventures' ### 1/5 — Игра зависает *2016-12-12, version 1.0.0* При задании "Прогнать пирата" игра глючит, пират был усыплён один раз трубкой с дротиком, были собраны предметы со стола, но потом он воскрес и дальше игру продолжать нет возможности. Перезагрузка не действует. Верните 529 р., игра покупалась не по акции ### 1/5 — Seems old *2016-12-05, version 1.0.0* It says it's new, but the artwork, lack of map, and blurry images suggest that it's old. It's slow to respond at times too. I didn't like it at all. ### 2/5 — Worst of the series *2017-04-04, version 1.0.0* Some games you don't want to end, some you can't wait till they are over. This is the latter. There is so much going on, dancing around here and there,using tools that are just about senseless to solve a problem, and every time you set the game aside for a day or two, you forgot so much, your inventory becomes too large and you end up using the Hint button over and over just to catch up. The other Sea of Lies are some of the best games made -fun, engaging, thoughtful, great graphics, good story line. This one just disappoints. ### 2/5 — Snoresville *2016-12-18, version 1.0.0* It got so boring I just kept hitting the hint button so I could get it over with! ### 2/5 — Meh *2016-12-10, version 1.0.0* Story line is difficult to follow. Lots of witchcraft, Shamanism, etc - not what I thought I was paying for. Big Fish Games used to create quality games, the last couple I've bought have been a real disappointment. ### 2/5 — Price not right! *2016-12-10, version 1.0.0* Like the free try but, despite stating 40% off, came up at full price. Not happy, didn't buy. ### 2/5 — Another buggy game *2016-12-10, version 1.0.0* Good game until you can do a step to continue! ### 2/5 — I can see why it was on sale... *2016-12-08, version 1.0.0* Having only played the part before I had to pay for it my view may be limited. Needless to say I deleted it rather than paying for a 3rd rate game... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sehr schönes Spiel *2022-05-03, version 1.0.0* Gute Story mit vielen, sehr schön und detailliert ausgestalteten Schauplätzen. Sehr abwechslungsreich. WBS okay, die Minigames fand ich teilweise zu schwer. Hatte oft nicht verstanden, was ich eigentlich machen sollte. Schneller Tipp und Szenenwechsel. ### 5/5 — I like it *2021-04-05, version 1.0.0* I’m enjoying this game. I paid £2.99 and it is worth the price. ### 5/5 — Love it....great fun! *2018-01-08, version 1.0.0* Great fun...took me two days to complete! ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2017-02-23, version 1.0.0* Games were good. HOS very good. Good storyline. Music was very nice, too. Loved it! ### 5/5 — Fun *2017-02-05, version 1.0.0* Good game ### 5/5 — Tired of being interrupted. *2017-02-02, version 1.0.0* The game is fine ...would be better without the constant interferences, between pleas for rating and news of games on sale. ### 5/5 — Cool game *2016-12-20, version 1.0.0* Liked the graficics but wish it was longer ### 5/5 — Pretty good *2016-12-10, version 1.0.0* Especially happy about customizable settings. It does have an interactive map btw. ### 5/5 — Toll *2016-12-09, version 1.0.0* Ideenreich. Story auch gut, weil nicht gleich vorhersehbar. Technisch bei mir einwandfrei. 3 gewinnt option bei den wbs konnte ich jetzt nicht entdecken... grafisch sehr schön und mühevoll gestaltet. Schön. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2016-12-09, version 1.0.0* Great graphics, story, puzzles and hog's. Nice length in both main game and bonus game. Thanks to everyone. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
