I finished  Olympus Griddlers.  This was the first game that I played by this developer that didn't require you to get 3 stars on every board in able to open the last room.  In spite of that, I played until I had all the stars.   The music on this one was starting to get to me.

I think I'm going to play Surface: Reel Life Collector's Edition next.  And I'm going to try and not buy anything this month, although the latest Awakening looks tempting.

 

Well, I finished Grim Facade: A Wealth of Betrayal CE (B) and that completes that series which I pretty much enjoyed.  Have to decide which series to work on next but decided to play one of my recent ones and just finished Cadenza: Music, Betrayal and Death CE.  OMG, I loved that game from the graphics, jazz music, different puzzles and HOS that are nothing like I have ever seen before.  Mad Head Games is now one of my favorite developers and I think I have a couple of other games of theirs.  It is now one of my top 5 and I will definitely replay it some day.  Just love it when you find a game that makes you so happy to play it; Madame Fate also made me feel that way.

One bit of advice and I don't think this could be considered a spoiler as I found it on the forum and if I hadn't found it, would have been peeved to no end.  In the extras, when you play the Connection Game, you can't leave the game and go back in as there is a glitch that will prevent you from finishing it.  You need to find all the connections and fill the letter C to continue with others parts of the extras.  So glad I found that info as I was kinda confused when I first started playing it. 

I've just posted a demo review in my demo review thread of  Shadow Wolf Mysteries: Under the Crimson Moon CE  if anyone's interested.

I recommend the SE but not the CE - no morphing objects, collectibles that I don't class as collectibles, nothing interesting in the Extras.  There's also nothing novel or exciting about the game but I liked the story enough to add it to my possible games to get with a PCC.  I definitely recommend the SE if you like the demo or want to have all the games in the series.  However, I definitely do not think the CE is worth double the price, sale or no sale.  The only reviewer I found who'd finished the game said that it was really short - only 3 hours - although it wasn't stipulated whether that included the bonus chapter or not.

I don't know if the games follow each other or not, as I haven't played any of them yet, even though I have all the previous ones.  If so, then I definitely recommend the SE. 

And Tee, thanks for the advice re Cadenza! 
 

Congratulations Tirama!  Hope you enjoy your iPad.

I just finished MARGRAVE: THE CURSE OF THE SEVERED HEART.  It was pretty good.  I enjoyed the story and the music, the graphics were good but boy I wish it had a jump map!  I got soooo lost quite a few times.  Fortunately the Forums helped set me straight.  I really enjoyed Part II (shadowlocks) because i could do that with very few peeks at the walkthrough.  I was almost finished but didn't have the cotton swab.  I read through all of the Forums and the whole WT only to find that there was supposed to be a HOS in the scene that I needed the cotton swab.  Earlier there hadn't been any sparkles.  After all that reading there was.   There were references to an Act V -- I guess that was the bonus in the CE.  I couldn't find any credits either.  I always read the credits.  This might be the only game I finish this month since there's an AK update.

stusue -- Thanks for the review of the new SHADOW WOLF game.  I was all set to get the CE until I read your review.  I'll get the SE.

I'm going to hold off on the CE sale until Monday.  If the code works, fine.  If it doesn't also fine.

I played Margrave: Curse of the Severed Heart what seems like a lifetime ago!  I remember I loved it.  I'm going to replay it before playing the following ones. 

There's still not a single review that I can find that says anything about the bonus chapter in Shadow Wolf Mysteries: Under the Crimson Moon CE and I think there's still only one review from someone who's finished the game.  No one seems to review after playing the game, just after playing the demo. 

I don't think I'm getting any CEs but, if I decide I want to, it will also be on Monday to get the extra punches and, if it doesn't work, so be it.
