Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
One little problem we cant tap anywhere on the screen cause its too big or we cant start the game when we download it.
Ok some games are better than others. We have played almost every demo and bought a few. We are addicted!!! We have a few people also addicted. Keep making them. Our guilty pleasure. Buy all the games! We know we will…maybe not all. Shhh.
Great storyline and logical game play.
For this type of game this was fun. Good mini games and story. Overall worth the time and money.
We like this one a lot! You can customize the settings to make the game more difficult to suit your experience level.
Beautiful graphics and interesting puzzles. But the developers need to research more. Part of the town was quarantined for scurvy…really? Scurvy is not contagious – its a vitamin C deficiency. Please work on details like that so we dont groan in the middle of the game instead of cheer.
Loved the game but both Hidden Sins and the bonus games are too short. We will say like the ending gives you a reason to play it again which is a nice touch.
We liked this game very much with a few exceptions. The map we found to be useless. Also, the hint recharged rather slowly. Otherwise it is a fun game to play.
We liked this game. It lasted longer than most. We wish it would have had a bonus game on the end, but we still enjoyed it.
This game was pretty good, but has a couple of flaws in the intro game. One was when trying to pick up a metal bird. We uncovered it but couldn't pick it up until we found and pick up the others. That should be fixed. The second flaw was with the device for picking up the items from the past. It says you need to find them and direct the device to pick them up. We found things, but couldn't pick them up. Only one item WAS picked up when we found it. We had to skip it because there wasn't any way that we found, to pick them up. The price is too high, as always. The graphics were good. The HO scene was to put things where they belonged, rather than the usual list of items to find. The only problem with that was in identifying what the items were, in some cases. The map we'd good and allows teleportation, which is a plus since you have to go back and forth frequently. When the price comes down to reasonable, we'll buy it.
The device to find the memory fragments does not work in the judges office. The part is glitched and has to be skipped. Very annoying but decent game otherwise.
We really enjoyed the game overall. We liked the dark storyline, gothic atmosphere and characters and the creepy tone. Includes our CDW list: Custom difficulty option, Speedy Teleport, Map, Challenging puzzles, Interesting HOP's. It's a solid seven. Fan in San Fran.
Am in our 70s and play games to keep our neurons blasting! Game makes us think and make decisions. Really like it.
The graphics, mini-games and HOPs are great and sometimes, unique. The Map allows teleportation. However, there were countless crashes; scenes running slow and out of sync with the sound. Be prepared for TONS of dialogue. Accomplishment are not track.
We love hidden object game this one was great.
Purchased this game. Halfway way through the game it shut off. After several times reinstalling it,it would get to the same point in the game, it would shut down. Very disappointed after spending seven dollars on the game.
This was a very entertaining game so we paid to download the full version. Mistake. Crashed repeatedly. Played it on iPhone 11, no problems until…You guessed it, Crash! Bummer.
Just dull. Didn't make it through the trial.
Great game, but has a lot of glitches which need to be fixed to be worth buying. Also, the help guide doesn't always coincide with each mini game. Not sure if that's a glitch or if game play varies.
Doesnt work on iPhone 11 Pro Max.
We downloaded this game more than once on our iPhone 11 Pro and it never works why.
We really wanted to play this game, but the images are too large for the screen (iPhone X) so we cant play. Is there a fix for this? Reading other reviews, Im not the only one.
We got to almost the end and in a game puzzle you have to fit an egg with a hammer and swat a fly. It wont let you! You cant skip it. You cant hit it. Even clues tell you too (well duh!) but you cant! Im so aggravated. Dont get it. You pay and cant finish.
The first time it reset when we closed our iPad we thought ok, Ill go through it all again because its a cool game. It made us unlock and everything even though we purchased it. The second time we said forget it. Its also a bit laggy. None of the other HOP games have done that and we think we have played every single one thats available on Big Fish. Pretty disappointed.
The title screen is of to the side when we open it, literally cant even see the menu to continue. Literal waste.
We will update our review if we can get the game to work. We paid for the whole version but when we open the app on our iPhone, its game screen is too large to the point that we only see a portion of the intro and cannot get past the intro. Please help.
Game will not work on our IPhone . Its to large for our screen. Could you refund our money please.
We have an iPhone 8 Plus and the game comes up enlarged on the screen. Resetting our phone doesnt help. Ill change our review when you fix the game.
Not able to open game, once pay for. When we touch play it closes the game. Please fix glitches.
Very frustrating! Too many bugs. Get stuck and no way out. Sorry we wasted our money. Would like a refund.
Was enjoying the game – until today. Suddenly it won't load! We tap "play" and NOTHING.
This game is way too gory & macabre for us. We play a lot of these games. We get that developers can't seem to think of a plot that doesn't involve murder & mayhem & horror. We ignore it if the storyline is good & logical & the games & HOGs are as well. But this game was disturbing from the start. The graphics of the game itself are very crisp. The introduction and cutscenes are black & white rough stills. The introduction showed a murder, as well as what we thought was the murder of a child but was possibly a kidnapping. REALLY object to that. Once we got past the horrible introduction, we liked the concept of the story and graphics are great. The games & interactive HOGs were also enjoyable. But the murder scene we just revealed in the game is too much. We can only assume there will be more (and worse) scenes as we move forward in the story. Usually, we can't stop until we solve the whole game, but we're dreading moving forward in the story so we're deleting.
This game was released 3/26/16. And now again, 4/29/16. Without realizing it, we downloaded it again. We noticed it looked familiar (we play a ton of BF games) so tried to unlock it by selecting "already purchased" …it showed no record of purchase! (we already purchased and played it) Big fish has been doing this a lot lately… Re-releasing a game a few months later and presenting it as a new game. We've noticed in the reviews, other people saying the same thing. That they have purchased the game a second time, not realizing that big fish would mislead their customers. One can only assume..that BF is purposely duping their customers into purchasing a game twice. Sure, people can request a refund, but Apple purposely wait 7-10 days after a purchase to email a receipt (they do that because people are less likely to request a refund the further out from the date a purchase is made…look it up. People forget or get lazy or just dismiss it) So BFG stooping to this dishonest practice is a disturbing new twist. In the past, the system honored a purchase already made and re-downloaded the game without charge. Some people will not realize they made a second purchase or will just forget to request a refund after the window of time allowed. BFG gets to keep the extra cash. It's wrong. And we're not the only one disappointed.
