Add me to the "not a fan of Botanica" group. It was pretty but not as much as some made it out to be. I have seen more visually appealing games than that.
Loved Patchworkz. That lizard one was hair pulling . I did manage to get 3 stars on all of them but had to keep going back to that one over and over until I got it.

I liked Botanica enough to buy the next in the series, but found it distracting that the female character was voiced by the same woman who does Dana Knightstone

Thanks for the advice on Farmscapes, oscar. I'm leaning toward getting it, but I'm still wondering if anyone could compare it to the Gardenscapes games. It's a game I'm sure I'd at least like, and normally I'd snap it right up. But because I'm trying to cut back on game purchases for the next few weeks I can't seem to make up my mind. How different is it from the Gardenscapes game? Basically the same, but on a farm?

The Gardenscapes games are Hidden Object. You search for items that the customers want to make money to upgrade the garden . With Farmscapes it is Match 3. Customers buying the fruit or whatever that falls off the match 3 board to earn money to fix up the farm.

It has some adventure bits which the first Gardenscape did not. Gardenscapes doesn't have trophies, Farmscapes does. M3 in Farmscapes; HO in Gardenscapes.
What I really liked about Farmscapes is that you can renovate 3 farms using the same profile and easily move back and forth between them to see what upgrades you used.

Noelle Tiger Eye 1 the riddle box was quite good. I never played the second one.

Finished Settlement: Colossus. I'll definately play this one again.
Next I'm going to play Redemption Cemetery: Salvation of the Lost Collector's Edition and probably end up wondering why I continue to buy ERS Games.

Yes, Tiger Eye 1 was good. I've replayed it several times. I even read the book it was based on.
But the second game in the series was not good. It sort of followed the book but the artwork was not good at all. It was so bad it was distracting to me.
My recomendation: play the first game and then read the book - skip the 2nd game.

I liked the second one just fine. It had a lot of disappointed reviews, but I liked it. I think I gave it 4 stars. No HOs IIRC.
I'm not going to play Found anymore. I looked at reviews and people started out liking it a lot but then after awhile you had to spend too much money to really play. The free Fairway you don't really need money so far.

BFG has a 2 for 1 sale for CE and SE games this weekend.
I am going to stick to my pledge to myself: no cash buys.
I have 2 credits and 4 punches. If I wouldn't use one of them on a game then, I really didn't want it that badly.
