My biggest complaint is over the "one-eye" business. I winced every time I looked at the creatures with one eye. Otherwise, the game was just okay.

AGAIN
This has Played before. Same ol same ol not much fun. I agree with the first guy, great for a beginner.
Some of these games come back alot, do they try to improve them, well not this one.

Yuck!
This is the 2nd time I have played this game and I still don't like it!!! Run it by again and I won't like it either. I consider myself pretty good at figuring out stuff, but this one beats me. I can't get thru the gates! The girls and the guy were good as far as graphics, but the statues of the Cyclops all left me with a feeling I was in an infant's video. Needs a complete revamp!

Hauntingly beautiful
Gorgeous graphics, fantastical storyline! The story had a haunting quality, melancholy, sweet and somewhat dark (with a couple of creepy scenes that put the wind up my back) all at the same time; I wish there were more games like it! The divination system was fascinating and creative, and the mini-games were interesting and made sense (even to the point that the lead character reacted the way a real person would in a similar situation, and rebelled against the triviality of the obstacles in her way). The storyline didn't have the gaps in logic that many of the games in this genre typically include, and the puzzles weren't irritatingly fussy or impossible to figure out from the instructions (which were clear and comprehensible). The writing was definitely a cut above what I'm used to seeing in this genre. It's worth re-playing, as well; the second time I played, I noticed details I'd missed in my first pass. My new fave!

Love and Hate this game
I mostly bought because I loved Margrave The Curse of the Severed Heart.
The good:
The graphics are just beautiful, the story is quite good a bit difficult to understand it takes a while to get used to, but charming, romantic, unusual.
Some of the mini games and puzzles were good. Just enough HO scenes.
The bad:
Just can't get the flow, I never understood what to do next.
Needed hints and the walkthrough.
Many situations/settings, probably too many it was like getting thrown into another world at every turn.
A skipped a lot of mini games, just didn't understand what to do or just too difficult not worth the effort.
Could not have done it without the map, really too bad it wasn't a jump map I found it tedious to go from one place to another, the map did not quite reflect the directions.
You have to try it to see if it's your cup of tea.

Different
I'm so tired of the same hidden object games. This one starts out the same....oh my someone has been kidnapped...blah blah blah, but the game makes up for it!! Loved it

Keeping an "eye" out for hidden objects and puzzle clues!
Standard Edition review:
Wander around the city of the Cyclops to save your boyfriend Tom! (And pick strawberries on the way... Don't ask!;) An enjoyable easy-medium level HOPA, with lovely graphics, excellent music, and atmospheric in a sad abandoned city kind of way.
I really enjoyed this game. With all the talking heads on walls that you have to do mini-quests for. I felt that maybe I should start breaking into song from the film Labyrinth or something. You definitely have to suspend your belief A LOT in some places. It does get a bit daft sometimes, but I liked it.
Pros:
- Decent game play time (>4 hours)
- Graphics and Sound lovely most of the time
- Good humour and a few laugh out loud moments
- Excellent pace of story line 'reveals' that pull you along. it is a well paced game.
- Lots of puzzles rather than just being HO-tastic, which I appreciated. A number of puzzles as beginner-intermediate I have not seen before. Everything was do-able. (matching pairs, mismatch games, remembering sequences to replay - to name a few).
- You are able to bring up the 'help' or 'clue' next to the appropriate puzzle, avoiding toggling or straining the brain to remember sequences too much.
- You can see a lot of imagination and love and attention has been put into the the scenery and backgrounds. Very lovely.
- I love how you pick up 'minions' (for want of a term) who have abilities which help you progress in the game e.g. things that at the start are out of reach will later be accessible.
- I liked how they had a thank you for their mums in the end credits. Bless.
Cons:
- Map was not a fast map as described in the game (minor thing, since the city is not that big)
- I'm British, but even for me the accents and voice acting was grating. The English ones and the Scottish ones.
- Any scenes when it came to main characters and actors were jumpy/jerky/blurry and just very wooden in style and acting. Just didn't fit in with the smoothness of graphics in other parts of the game
- Some story line twists were like 'you what?!' This kind of sits in the pro area too because some things were just... well... astoundingly bizarre... and just 'what?!'
- Still trying to figure out why they have called it the Blacksmiths Daughter... Ah well.
There is a fair bit of guidance, maybe too much for some, which might put more experienced gamers off. So bear that in mind. It seems to be the main bug-bear for those who have given harsh reviews, as well as the awful accents.
But for a newbie/intermediate looking for a worthwhile casual, enjoyable, good looking and sounding game - this is the bees knees and a lot better than many other HOPA games I've experienced to date. I would definitely recommend this game.
Cheers Margrave creators (and their mums!)

incredibly weird and creepy game
The graphics were great, the puzzles were great, the HO scenes were typical, but I don't have much more to say other than it was an incredibly weird and creepy game. I'm not into macabre stories or an overabundance of ick but I bought this because the beginning started out innocent enough. Soon after however was what I can only describe as... weird and creepy. I finished it as quickly as possible so I could move on.

Mixed feelings on this one!
I began with such excitement playing this game...loved it....then probably almost halfway through I began to get tired of searching around for where to be and what to do. I had to use the hint WAY to many times for what I usually like to do in a game. The map wasn't any help and as someone else said, it didn't transport you to where you needed to go and I found myself "running" around a lot looking for what to do. Yes, I did enjoy the scenery but after searching too much even that became boring. Sorry all who LOVED this game but I grew frustrated with it. There were some fun aspects to it...but not enough to cause me to give it more than a 3. If the map would have been one which transported you, maybe I would have given it a 4. As I have said before though, it wasn't the worst game I have played!....BUT...not the best either...I am SO glad I didn't spend extra on the CE...when this game finished I was very glad! I will, however still recommend this one because it did have it's fun parts.
