i thought i would be awesome
I was excited to see this game, but wow, I didn't even finish the trial. There were some neat ideas in this game, for instance, looking through a bottle to see clues that are not there in plain site, but it just got so distracting, things popping up every minute. I see other players mentioned the tutorial stayed on a long time, which I was thankful for because there was just too much stuff going on. The art was really good. I respect game companies that want to try new things in a game, but they should have tested to see if it was fun, it wasn't!

A bit of a Disappointment
I bought this game without a trial because i LOVED the other 3 Azadas....I am sorry I did that. this is not the same quality. I am going to play it cause I bought it but I am not thrilled with the game. It is too scattered and there doesn't seem to be an easily followed plot!

Fell a little short
I couldn't give this game a higher rating because I'm not sure I'm even going to buy it. It is intriguing in that I want to "find out" what's next but after 45 minutes of trial I'm not convinced. Usually I can tell within 20-30 minutes and this one just didn't get me. It does venture away from it's historical game play to include HO and collectibles. I like collectibles but these were a bit cheesy. I didn't like the magic potion gimmick. Was a bit of a nuisance. Puzzles weren't difficult; game play was reasonably straight forward and graphics/VO well done. The only negative I had in the graphics department was the use of yellow and red on a gray background in the HO scenes. You had to squint to see the red on gray items. Bad color combo.
I like hidden objects in a game so didn't mind that they added them, but I felt they relied too much on fillers and left their roots. Azada series has always been about the game play and I liked that. Please return to your roots next time!

fair to middlin'
My fave Azada was the first one. I've gotten the others but I am losing interest in the series. I don't care for the movie cut scenes, but a lot of games have them. The HOS lists were hard to read with the red letters on the dark background. I really don't understand the addition of the flying monkey thing. He was more annoying than anything and his voice (?) was grating. I may buy it because I have all the others but then again I may not bother.

Don't expect Azada feel here
Wow, what a disappointment. Highly anticipated series became just a disposable Monday-night entertainment HOG instead of a challenging adventure that keeps you playing really slow to enjoy all the beautiful story, music and of course visual art. Even HOG scenes are very bad, like in the dawn of the genre.

Not Azada
I eagerly awaited another game in the Azada series for 2 years after purchasing the first 3. I deleted this game before the trial was 1/2 over. It was so NOT Azada no matter what BFG named it. I'm not interested in mythical animals, little helpers and lots of dialogue. Azada I was the best!

Not worthy of the Azada series
I loved the original Azada and played it again over time. Loved the follow-ups also but this one isn't up to the level of any of previous games. Azada was always unique and looked forward to this one. I'll finish it but really disappointed in what has been a great series.

not up to the usual standard
i was bored rigid by this game. i loved the first two games by this developer this was just so same as any other hidden object game and disjointed, hated the mini games
usually you cant tear me away from a new game but i found myself going days before playing.

superficial
This game was very beautiful to look at-my eyes lit up. But, after playing for maybe 10 minutes, I found myself extremely bored. Eye candy doesn't make a good game.
