My Kind of Game
This is a game I would highly recommend to anyone who plays HO games for the puzzles, not the HO scenes. I played the demo and saw no HOs at all, but lots of creative, innovative puzzles hard enough for a good challenge, but not so hard you give up and skip them. I like to try to figure out the objective of the puzzle without clicking on the directions if I can, and because of the creativity of these puzzles, that's a welcome additional challenge. I am definitely buying this one. More like this, Big Fish, please!

Lots of puzzles
Very different from the standard Big Fish game, lots of various puzzles, some can be quite a challenge. Nice change if your looking for something a little different.

Too much going on
I do not mind puzzles but too many in this game. Not used to looking at the bottom of the screen to read the notes. Has voice over the the graphics are not bad. DId not use the hints but got tired real quick of all the things going on to keep going in this game.

Not for iffy eyesight
This game might be fun for others but if you are like me with iffy eyesight that cannot differentiate small patterns on top of decorative patterns, this is not for you. Every key puzzle I came across I had to skip because I could not see things properly.

Too Difficult for Casual Game Players
I bought this because my friend and I play together and he likes puzzles. After playing a while not understanding helps for puzzles many times when we got stuck, he said lets play another game.I did not enjoy it either but I also like HOG mixed with puzzle games.

nice little game
based on trial, If you like puzzle games this is right up your street. I have to admit i am not a fan of puzzles but decided to give it a go, i was surprised at how easy it was, the graphics and music are exceptional the story not quite so good,I am a big fan of HOS games, something with a strong story line and this was a let down for me. Please try it you may like it, for puzzle people it's great.

Makes no Sense
I wanted to like this game, but, no way. It looks good, sounds good, plays awful.
Hints that aren't really hints, objects you can't find...
Advancement that doesn't move the story along. Talking birds with nothing helpful to say. This game is boringly bad.
I'm learning that when the write up about the game is heavy on how beautiful the graphics are and light on the game play, there often isn't a really playable game there.

BREAK THE CURSE: THE CRIMSON GEMS
I played this game the morning it was released. I always want to enjoy every game I play, but this one didn't pull me in right from jump. Still, I played just in case it changed later on. It didn't.
The hint button is not very helpful, and pay attention, all hints are in a yellow band at the bottom of the page. There was little or no interaction with any of the creatures you come across. The storyline was thin at best to me; an absolute yawn in fact. The devs definitely could have put more work into that aspect of the game. I do have to say the graphics were well-done and the music was quite nice, but that isn't enough to make me love the game.
This is just my opinion. I would advise anyone to sample the game first before making any decisions.

Lots of puzzles
Its an ok game if one likes lot and lots of puzzles. I like them but not one after another. The story gets lost among all the puzzles. I will not buy the game because I found it to slow moving, not much story line, and boring. But to others you may like it.
