Excellent plus
This series has been one of my very favorites because it has great game plot without all the demonic stuff. My kids of all ages can play this game, very well done.

Continuing the fun...
I've said it before & I will say it again, "I love a good sequel!" The story picks up just where it left off & has great progression. So, those questions you were coming up with in the first installment, actually get answered! Story immersion is just part of the fun. There are so many different type of puzzles in the game & those that are repeated get progresslvely harder. CHALLENGE! The graphics are stellar & the characters are distinct. No doubt, a winner in my book

Third In The Series
Just passing through on my way to the umpteenth consultation with the WT for this game. (Guess I should have bought the CE after all.)
The Goblin Kingdom is everything the first two were, only harder. Same lilting music, same gorgeous artwork, same cute little pocket dragon, intriguing characters, and an engaging plot. That's the good news.
The bad news is those puzzles are everywhere you look and guard everything you need to get to. Some are within the realm of my intelligence (STD, pipe connections, match 3, ID 2 of a kind, puzzle pieces to reconstruct, tangrams) but there are a lot of those spin- the- wheel- and- everything- shifts- position type puzzles (like the one in the storeroom with the safe and the gem collection mini game at the train station).
Let's just say I'm getting very well acquainted with Ran, the wise and deferential hint owl and setting fire to anything encased in ice with the pocket dragon. Unfortunately, Ran's hints dried up at the maze behind door #2 at the tavern, and that's why I'm on my way to the WT to end my current misery.
The object searches are few and far between and I would hazard a guess the game would have been 18 hours long if more had been included, with me at the controls anyway. This is a well-produced game that has so much going for it, but I just wish they had toned down the number of puzzles a little bit for a better balance. (I mean, do we really need 3 untangle-the-wires in one mini game to extract a bolgin coin?)
Still, it's a beautiful game and except for puzzle overload, one that I've enjoyed playing so far.

Awakening: the Goblin Kingdom
This was a fun game. Puzzles were not too challenging, but fun to complete. I was impressed with the visuals and the sound was relaxing, well done. I was very impressed with a certain water scene where the water reacts with your cursor, as well as a little turtle swimming around...very realistic. The story line was nice, a fantasy in a land of Goblins. I would recommend to those who really like fantasy. The characters were interesting, some even mysterious! I enjoyed the game.

Charming hidden object game
Very satisfying hidden object game with charming goblin characters. The soundtrack is lovely without alot of annoying repetition. This a delightful entry in the Awakening
series.

Love
All of the Awakening games are high quality and in a class of their own, in my opinion. The graphics and music are beautiful, and the world draws you in. This game presents a nice challenge without being frustrating, an interesting variety of puzzles, and a high fantasy environment. I can lose myself in these games and relax. I look forward to the next one.
