I've always been a fan of The Far Kingdoms series by Lazy Turtle Games, but Awakening Quest got a new makeover! The graphics are gorgeous, the Hidden Object Scenes are amazingly well done, and the story is pretty darn interesting.
I love that the objects in the HO scenes are authentic and stick with the era...no baseballs here! Each scene is unusual, and some of the objects are challenging to find.
I couldn't wait to get to the next HO scene after each tidbit of the story, so I was a tad bit disappointed that the game is just as much a Solitaire Game as a Hidden Object Game.
The Solitaire levels aren't bad; they have many features, but I really enjoyed the HOs and would have preferred this to be heavy on the HO side.
The only real complaint I have is with the Replay feature of the Solitaire levels. Nothing happens if you don't remove all the cards; there's no popup dialog telling you what to do next. By chance, I clicked on the Gear icon in the bottom left corner and clicked to end the game, which prompted the level to reload.

This game has such beautiful sceneries. Every scenery is like a beautiful painting. It really draws you in. The objects are well hidden but can be found. The solitaire game has different varieties to it. It is really difficult to pass on this one even though it's a simple game. So beautiful and relaxing.
I recommend this game!

As rara1024 wrote, there's no way to pick up the cannonball once you get to the dwarf village part of the game.
Other than that, it's a good game and I was enjoying it.
I don't recommend this game.

I finished the game in 21/2 hours its geared more toward kids I think but way to short. I would recommand on a free game type thing but dont think its worth the money. The art work is beautiful. You have a wild card in the bottom right corner and the undo and thats all.

The graphics are beautiful, the art style and colors are really nice. This is a pretty bare-bones game, no standard tutorial, no special features, no shop, no scores, no replays, etc. I just easily felt my way around as I played, looking for anything extra that might lend more to the enjoyment of the game. Unless I'm blind, I found nothing!

The graphics are beautiful, the art style and colors are really nice. This is a pretty bare-bones game, no standard tutorial, no special features, no shop, no scores, no replays, etc. I just easily felt my way around as I played, looking for anything extra that might lend more to the enjoyment of the game. Unless I'm blind, I found nothing!
If a hand leaves you with no way to finish, you'll find a Wild Card under the magnifier, always at your service because it recharges. If an obstacle and tool appear in a level, there's no explanation, you're expected to know what to do. However, some obstacle cards provide a condensed instruction if you hover over them with your mouse. I had only two of those in my demo. Could have figured out the solution on my own. The levels were very quick and easy, no points, no replays, no stats to keep you informed of your progress, etc. Cards are large, no choice of card design. With little challenge, I became bored, maybe things improve after the demo. There were no awards for "job well done" other than a big gold star but I don't know if they actually have a purpose, they weren't addressed anywhere as I played.
The story requires reading, no voice-overs, it wasn't bothersome for me but you can just click quickly through it if you choose. The characters were beautifully done, I wish they had voices. The demo was HO scenes and solitaire and I doubt there is anything else beyond that and I did become bored about halfway but finished it anyway. There were no glitches, the music was nice and soft.
I really liked the HO scenes. They were not cluttered, the artwork was clean and beautiful, the objects fit the story's time period. The HOs were surprisingly challenging due to the scenes being a bit dark and items well concealed by color or size in some instances, blending was very good. I was stumped a couple of times, absolutely not seeing the items after scouring the scene meticulously and slowly. So I waited, had a sip of coffee and returned to the task. And, tah-dah, there they were just like magic right where I had looked moments ago. After a little test I found that if you just wait a bit your "invisible" objects will pop up with no hint needed.
A shop would be unnecessary in the game because it's simplicity warrants no extra helpers. And the Wild Card I mentioned is right at hand when needed. I liked the 2018 "Awakening" Solitaire better. It had a story too, a goal, good features and a shop, making it more interesting than this edition. But both are lacking the features and challenge that make solitaire a good entertainment value for me.
So if you like bare-bones solitaire this one is okay with some HOPs and a decent story on the side, something to go to when you want a break from your "heavier" games. I think when it becomes available after the New Release restriction it would be worth picking up on sale.
The solitaires we get these days, imo, are a far cry from the ones we enjoyed back in the day. They've become watered down, lack good challenge and have stories that aren't even a part of the game, graphics are poor as well. This game offers a little more appeal with good HOPs and very nice graphics so I recommend with 3 stars and hope it's a fun time for you! Show less

Beautiful, clear graphics. Nice touch of a magnifying glass on hidden object scenes. Dialog tedious..mini games are solitaire. This should be categorized as a solitaire game with hidden object mini games.

This had to be the most boring game I have ever done. It really did not have any challenges to it so I quite half way through.
