Re: Finish your games challenge - 2018

Thank you sunshinej. Maybe it was the way I was brought up. I can't tell you how many times I heard "If you start something you have to finish it." I was also not going to let a game get the better of me.

Good for you, lilyr.  

I finished Time Mysteries: The Ancient Spectres.  Enjoyable, but tough in advance mode.  It finished in a to be continued ending.  Good thing that I also had the third game in my inventory.

I think 3 games is just right for a series.  After I finish Time Mysteries: The Final Enigma.  I might try to play another 3 games series like Reincarnations.

Ï have finished:
Surface - Return to Another World PE. Very fun!!! Long BG.
Ominous Objects - Phantom Reflection PE. Rather tedious...
Winter Mosaics. Fun!
Fantasy Mosaics 26 - Fairytale Garden. Fun!
Spirit of Revenge - Gem Fury PE. Better than expected. A little new take on HOPS.
Fear for Sale - City of the Past PE. Very good!!! Fun Puzzles.
Travel Mosaics - A Paris Tour. I echo Fudge : Loved it!
World's Greatest Cities Mosaics 4. Fun!
Demon Hunter 4 - Riddles of Light PE. Barely Ok, but I liked the Egyptian settings 
Ominous Objects - Trail of Time PE. Rather boring. Not PE worthy.

Right now I have looked through my purchase history and is replaying a bunch of old games.

I remember The Count of Monte Christo (purchased -09), a lot of trips to the island

​I can well imagine.  Lol    I couldn't believe that I had 5 hints and they were all taken away because I skipped a puzzle.  Oops!

​I finished Time Mysteries: The Final Enigma...  It was nice playing all 3 Time Mysteries games together because the same story about the Ambrose family, Merlin and Viviana was the story for all 3 games..  I played in regular mode and it was a lot easier this time around.  I also played the SE versions and didn't miss the bonus content.

​For my next 3 games I was going to do the Reincarnations series.  I found the last 2 in my BFG purchases so that meant the first game was on a CD.  ​  Spent quite a bit of time finding the right CD last night.  Here it was included with the Hidden Expedition: Devil's Triangle game.  After finally finding it and D/L it, I could finally start playing it.  Very relaxing and extremely linear, but really a lot of fun too.

I've not finished any GH games this month!!! That's because I've got hooked on a FTP game for mobile devices. Can't stop playing it!!!

And the name of the game is?

I finally finished a game this month - Riddles of Fate: Wild Hunt Collector's Edition.  It's very old school HOPA - none of the areas get closed off so you can go back and look for any collectibles  which you might have missed.  I like that feature, but the downside is that there is a lot of back and forth.  Elephant Games includes about six active areas in each location, and each area might have two or three things that need taking care of.  I spent a lot of time wandering around trying to find where to use each inventory item.

Also finished MC's Castle Challenge, and have been working on the Daily Quest achievements.  About 60% done.

Just started Arizona Rose and the Pharaohs' Riddles, another game that has been gathering dust for over two years.  Don't know why I waited so long to play this one - so far it's not bad.

Going to pass on today's super sale.  I really need to finish more games before I buy any more.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2018

I finished Arizona Rose and the Pharaohs' Riddles.  Nice nonogram game, all puzzles can be solved using logic.  I didn't earn all the achievements because I don't use hints and power-ups unless the puzzle can't be solved by using logic.

Also finished Dead Reckoning: Sleight of Murder Collector's Edition.  Game was a disappointment.  Eipix's heart wasn't in this one - they didn't even bother with the usual wacky credits.  Shame, because the magician storyline had potential.

Now playing the last game in the Dead Reckoning series.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2018

I played ... and finished! ... my first HOPA in over a year last week and guess which game it was ... today's TGT!  GameHouse released it last week and I played it with my FunPass. 

This past year has been so difficult that I haven't played any HOPAs and only finished, I think, 2 M3s in the entire year.  I've demoed everything, bought quite a bit, but have been too sick to play anything.  But now I've finished one! 

So, here's a brief synopsis.  When I've posted this I'll go and add a full review in my review thread.


Darkheart - Flight of the Harpies PE  by  Lazy Turtle

Recommendation:  SE

Length:  

   +   very good length  
   +   main game  =  4:40 hours  (I don't rush and use no help at all)
​   +   bonus game  =  1:40 hours

Pros:

   +   graphics
   +   music
​   +   sound effects
   +   HOPs
   +   MGs

​Pro/Con:  collectibles

   +   there are 3  -  figurines, hearts, morphing objects
​   +   they're hard to spot
​   +   you get info re mythical beasts when you collect the figurines

 ​   -   it doesn't tell you how many there are
    -   you can't go back to find any you missed
​    -   only in the main game; don't continue into bonus chapter
​    -   you only collect the hearts and morphing objects to get achievements

Cons:

​    -   no touch  (partial - I had to use mouse in zoom scenes, just like ERS/AMAX games)
    -   not many extras
    -   bonus chapter not worth double the price
​    -   repetitive MG in second half of bonus chapter
​            -   line-M3 where you have to remove all pieces from the board
            -   difficult and I sometimes had to replay several times to remove all pieces
​            -   I liked it but a lot of people don't like that sort of M3
