Unique Story and Challenging Puzzles
Very interesting. Unique story line following Celtic folklore. You play the female lead, a heroin. Sets out to rescue a former boyfriend, a nice change of pace.
Nice graphics w/intermixed photos, at least I think they are photos; they are so crisp and clean, very nicely done. This is what dev.?s want to call an adventure with hog?s. Not what I would call an adventure game, more of an HOG with a point and click storyline. But given that, it was entertaining.
No map, some to and fro, hog?s as stated, and puzzles. Oh boy the puzzles! I love the puzzles intermixed within a game. Over the years I believe I?ve only passed on 2 puzzles, well here?I passed on at least that many within one game! They are difficult! For the first time I was very grateful for the skip button.
Lengthwise it is average, meaning several hours a day?2 days. Compared with other games of this genre I would say it is better than most.

Well Planned Game
I like this game. It took a nice amount of time and was not too hard for me, being I like the Easy level.
I am a recent convert to HOGs as I am not particularly fond of them of HOG puzzles. So for me, this game contained too many HOG puzzles. Yes I suppose if you love HOG puzzles, it is great but they make me so tired. I ended up quitting on the HOGs and coming back fresh after a good nights sleep.
I also thought the Hint button took too long to refill. I am a lazy game player and if I can't find something right away, I want a hint. Although the Hint button did recharge quickly, it wasn't quick enough for me.
Other than that, I found the story line fun and the graphics well done. I especially enjoyed the opening of the game, with the demon and his horn. I think the game programmer should make that their logo. Well done!

Good Game, Visual Quality is Excellent
Not my favorite, but overall a good game. I play in bursts, but IMHO this is a pretty good, long HO/Adventure game.
The story is predictable; evil demon kidnaps someone you love. You must rescue them and also save the universe. Yadda, yadda, yadda. This time you are up against a Celtic god.
WHAT I LIKED. The game is looong. The areas are varied. You can be in an ancient temple one minute, then a modern weather station, then a swamp and then on to a parallel world. The locations make sense within the story. Great idea from a design perspective since locations and therefore actions can include ancient and modern items.
The graphics are awesome! Mostly photographic quality. LOVED that.
The mini games are good. Some old classics. Some new twists on older puzzles. Mostly on the easy side, but one or two real challenges. I had to use the walk through once (animal button slider thingy).
The actions required are reasonable and make sense.
Sound effects are good and, since I don?t remember the music, it wasn?t annoying at all. No voice-overs, all text and you can click through it.
There are a number of awards you can get, like no wrong clicks on a HOS. At the end of each major part of the game, you also get an award. I didn?t play the tutorial or spend more than 10 minutes on a HOS, therefore I didn?t get the award for getting all the awards. But, I like the award/ trophy idea very much.
THINGS I DIDN?T LIKE SO MUCH. My interest in HOS has waned and this game has a few too many, IMHO. The HOS are not interactive, but the first one had an interesting twist and I was looking forward to more of the same. It never materialized. The HOS are junk piles with clear graphics and mostly well lit. But, a number are very cluttered. It got tedious fast.
The story gets a bit sketchy in places. For example, you have to rescue a scuba diver from drowning. Once you do, he thanks you and? that is it. You walk away and leave him.
There is no map, which isn?t much of a problem because each area is self contained and has only four or five locations (most with sub-locations). I didn?t get lost, but there is a lot of walking back and forth.
Overall this is a good game and if you like HOS more than I do, you will probably love this game. At best, I liked it.

Fun game, Interesting but not super challenging.
I think this would be a great beginner/intermediate game. The HOS were just right in difficulty and the puzzles were easy to a few that were difficult. I liked the quality of the click and match to the inventory items when you solved the spot they go. In other words: it wasn't a game about placing the object in the exact right spot but a fast paced keep the brain engaged adventure. Nice graphics. This is a SE review as I have not played the CE. Get this you will enjoy.

Awesome Game!!
As others have said this game goes on for ages! Just as you think it is finished you end up somewhere else with more to do.
I can't think of anything negative about this game at all!!
BUY IT!!!
This is now my favourite game :-)

Fab Gaelic Adventure
I played this a while ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's spooky, but not too occult, after all Samhain (pronounced Sau:in in Irish Gaelic, so I was told by an old friend from the emerald isle) we still celebrate today as Halloween. But I'm sure you all know that anyway.
This game as The Weekly Catch is something you really shouldn't let pass. It'll give you a good few hours of HO-Adventure fun and I highly recommend it. If in doubt, do the free trial and if you still don't know then think of all the darker days and longer evenings in the time approaching Halloween when this may come in handy ;-)
As all the positive reviews already said anything else I could add, all I say now is: Slinte Wah :-)

Beautiful, engaging Celtic-themed adventure!
I always have very high expectations for Elephant Games and Samhain does not disappoint! It starts out a little bit slow and sort of humdrum, but then it gets really exciting and there are some wonderful puzzles that are not too easy, not too difficult-- just my cup of tea. The graphics are absolutely stunning. Few items are too difficult to find in the hidden object scenes and all of the items are clearly and gorgeously drawn. I loved the writing and the funny little comments your character makes. Oh, and I absolutely loved the fur coat! You will now what I mean when you see it. So quirky and a real delight. Music is repetitive and the same as some other Elephant Games' releases but this did not detract from this excellent game. A solid "A"!

Buy it!
I couldn't believe this one was already on sale! You can't go wrong buying this Hallowed Legends game. The graphics are crisp and rich, the sound is not nearly as annoying as some of these games (in other words, you can keep it on!), and the gameplay is absorbing and fun. Even the story is of a higher caliber than most.
While there is some of the back and forth that can drive you nuts in these games, it's not too much in the case of Samhain, so you don't get frustrated before you get anywhere. The minipuzzles are, in most cases, similar to other games, but they have a sufficient twist to make them fun. The HOS are, likewise, similar to others, but they also have a twist and the objects are also findable without a magnifying glass!
As I said above - buy it! You'll not regret your choice.

Definitely worth it
This is a good game if you want to just enjoy yourself, and not struggle through a really difficult scenario. It's not *easy*, just not incredibly difficult.
I loved the graphics, but found the scenes where you were looking through a hood annoying, as it framed the view.
A nice mix of terrains.

Lots to do!
the story moves you forward with multiple areas/scenes/times to search through. You will always be wondering what to do next, or what you need to do with the stuff in your inventory.
I liked the flow of tasks to do, but many of the tasks were overly apparent or simplified beyond necessity, taking some of the fun out of it.
