the secrets of dragonville
this is the worst game i think I've ever played. i is slow and boring and no fun at all. I didn't like any of it and quit about quarter of the way through.

Not very challenging
Stopped after 8 minutes. Lots of dialogue boxes and that makes the game move very slowly. Graphics are very good and cartoon is fun. Found game overall a bit boring. Have to click compass in order to move anywhere which really slows down the game. Puzzles even have dialogue boxes. Great for beginners, but not very interesting for die hard HOG players

Excellent game!
This is the real puzzle game. Those puzzles in HO games are just a breeze between hidden object screens. This is not the same, here it's about puzzles. I recomend this game to everyone who want to test their intelligence and have some fun at the same time.

SURPRIZING!
This game grabbed me and the games are actually fun. The graphics are cartoonish which I usually don't care for but this time it actually supports the rest of the game. I know this is kind of vague but it's all I got.

Sorry I think I will SKIP this one.
This is definitely not a HOG game. It is a puzzle game which includes some HOG's. I disliked the way you navigated in the game which really was not navigating at all. You had to press a compass to show you arrows on which way you can go. To get anywhere you had to solve puzzles. That is okay. The fact that you cannot skip any puzzles unless you have so many hint points was annoying. You had to do more puzzles (bonus ones) in order to get hint points. And in order to move on in the game you had to finish the puzzle. So if you didn't have enough hint points to skip you had to do bonus puzzles. By the time i finished all these puzzles I forgot what the purpose of the game was. There of course was way to much narration for me. But at least it let you SKIP that. The one hidden object scene I did do for some keys. The objects were so small I actually had to use a magnifying glass to find them. Sorry BFG but this game was just annoying. The puzzles could have been good if the game was presented in a different way.

This game could be a gem.
I love genuine puzzle games (not HOGs).
So I was really looking forward to play this game, when I learned that there only are few HOSs.
The positive:
- nice bright and clear graphics
- lots of different puzzles
- you can earn points to skip puzzles
The negative:
- you can't turn og music and soundeffects off seperately
- too much dialogue
All that unnecessary dialogue killed the game for me and I hate when I can't turn only the music off.
But if you don't mind the dialogues and like genuine puzzles,
this is the game for you.

Slow. boring. Child's game.
The graphics and storyline of this game remind me of Dora the Explorer. Only she's not so boring. The variety of puzzles, aimed at children I suppose, was a point in favor but after 40 minutes of play I was so frustrated by the lack of instruction, never-ending click-through dialog, and cartoon graphics that I just quit.
* The graphics are pre-school cartoon quality. this makes the HOG scenes difficult. The items in the HOGs are very tiny and poorly drawn.
* The navigation system is awkward - click on a compass and then on one of the directional arrows.
* There are a few voice overs but most of the dialogue is click thru and there is much to much of it. It is slow to click through all of them but t here is no journal recapping what you may have missed so you have to click-click-click through them.

Leaves you lost
Too hard to figure out how to move around. Don't buy. Only got a few minutes into free trial and deleted it from my machine.

Yuck!
Someone posted they gave up after 30 minutes. I only lasted 15 minutes and more than half of that was spent reading the stupid dialog. I was intrigued by the idea of this game but it's truely awful. I could get past the lame graphics and the horrible navigation but the constant reading and boring puzzles added to that just made it unbearable to continue. I can't even recomend it for kids cause there isn't a child young enough to like the graphics and story who is also willing to read that much for very little reward. Deffinately a gigantic thumbs down.

May's Mysteries
A completely different kind of game, in which you solve riddles and travel to other locations. I did not like it at all. Too much dialogue and solve this and that to get to find her brother. So sorry but this type of game does not interest me at all.
