This may seem strange but the first thing I look at when I demo a game is the amount of space it will take on my hard drive. This one is over 2gb and it's an se, amazing.

I am a puzzle geek and puzzle fans are well catered for here and for me they are not too hard, not too easy, just right. Sounds like Goldilocks.

Unlike the previous games this is done in the hopa style which I like.

There are few Hog scenes which is not going to please every one but I enjoyed them and some items are fairly hard to find.
The graphics are excellent and you can fast click through all the banter which is another plus for me.

For what you get with this game and the length of it for the price of a SE it is well worth it and will not be repeated again in a few weeks time.

I find nothing worse than a boring CE game which then comes up again as a SE, not that this is boring, Far from it.

Try the demo, see what you think. Hardened Hog players are probably going to be a bit let down with this but it is a great all rounder and you can skip most things. Another bonus in my books.
Enjoy. Show less

I've bought hundreds of games, but don't review. This beautiful game is so dissed, I need to praise it loudly. Love the unique puzzles (no need to paperclip a zipper so far), the quality of the illustration, and the sheer fun of it all. Don't miss this one.

I recommend this game!

simply because this one has a storyline that is too childish, for me. However it contains great HOPs (though not many) and a lot of mini-games that are really fun, many of which I have never seen before. Surprisingly, I didn't have to, nor did I want to skip any of them. That is amazing, since I am not a puzzle lover! So, guess what?! That is what convinced me to buy the game!

The graphics are, as in the previous games, bright and beautiful. Artwork is again top-notch and the colors are vivid, making the scenes even more gorgeous. It is all a special treat (for me) to behold. I love that the on-going adventure of this series still has the enchanted forests, trees and animals that add to the charm of the quest to defeat the meanie witch. All of which are people, cursed and turned into various creatures

I did not like the voices at all, they were awful and I finally had to just skip the dialogue. The music is not distracting. I did not find the game to be boring. This SE is long and entertaining, full of pretty scenery, interesting characters and fun games and HOPs. It has not presented any glitches nor has it frozen, thank goodness!

Our newest Witch Island seems to be a pretty good deal. If you can work around the childish story I think you, too, will find lots of fun in this adventure. At least give it a chance by trying the demo. It earned my 5 stars for changing the mind of this non-puzzle lover! Show less

A lot of fantastical, beautiful scenes in this game.

HOP heavy and lots of puzzles of varied difficulties.
Child friendly, and not scary.

This game was a deeply relaxing game. There is nothing manic about it. The characters, when they appear are pop up, like in a comic.

I loved every second of this game and was thus motivated to write this review. It has a certain amount of simplicity that reminded me of being a child lost inside a story book, where you never really want it to end. Show less

I had to skip a few as my hand eye co-ordination is not good but apart from that I had so much fun that I've not had in ages with a game. I think I'll go and look at the previous games in this group.

I have played the previous three games in this series (yes, this is the fourth game) and I did like the stories better in those games because for some reason the developer chose to give the characters a winey voice and the acting was dreadful. Just skip the dialog because what you are left with when you peel back the layers is a beautifully illustrated game with some of the most original puzzles and hidden object scenes I've seen!

Legacy is a continuing fantasy adventure game with talking animals, magical trees, enchanted forests, and evil witches. In this adventure, the two worlds are parallel, everyone has a twin in both universes and the evil witch has cursed everyone by changing them into animals. In order to stop the witch in the real world, you'll need to stop her on Witch Island, and of course, you will help and be helped by several animals along the way.

The Hidden Object Scenes are far and few between which is a shame because I really enjoyed them...can you believe I just said that? I have been begging for developers to add a SKIP button to HO scenes for years, this game finally offers this feature, and wouldn't you know it, I loved the HO scenes! Most are Interactive Listed Item Finds but they do vary slightly, one of which requires you to find 12 items that are different on a picture and if you select the wrong item, you have to start all over again because all of the objects return. The objects are very cleverly blended, the way they used to be in older games so some of the objects are hard to find.

I absolutely LOVED the Mini-Games! They aren't mind-boggling, they are just fun puzzles to solve and most of them were variations I hadn't played before, think about it, after all these years and thousands of games, I'm stating that I haven't seen most of these games offered before, that they are original! The HINT system is one of the best I've ever seen! I've always said they need to add a section to strategy guides that show a visual guide as to what needs to be done because some people learn by reading instructions, others need to visualize what they are supposed to do, here you get both! The instructions are very clear, but if you are still confused as to what you are supposed to do, you can click the Hint button for further visual instructions, how cool is that!? These are the kind of puzzles that are fun but make you think, they are NOT brain-burners, and all mini-games can be skipped as well, it just depends on which mode of difficulty you chose to play in, but the skip button seems to become available fairly quickly. Here are a few of the games I thought were creative and fun:

1-Drag strips to create a gradient-colored design. დ
2-Turn an elaborate pipeline system to water all flowers. (all buds must be open and all pipes must be used) დდდდ
3-Swing levers to untangle wires. (the levers stop at random spots) დდ
4-Stop the arrow inside the ring when the arrow is within it's matching colored section. The arrow switches colors rapidly and you must finish 3 sets w/o a mistake or you'll have to restart. Each set the hand moves faster and the colored sections are smaller. დდდ
5-Shoot balls at the squares on the top of the board (marble shooter) each square has numbers indicating how many hits are required to remove it before it reaches the bottom. დდ
6-Shoot matching colored balls at a spinning circle with pie-shaped colored sections. The balls shoot fast but the circle spins super slow. დდდ

You can play in an Easy, Normal, or Difficult mode which basically gives you faster hint and skip recharges. There is no Strategy Guide but there is a very helpful interactive Map that takes you to a scene that has an active task. The first 3 Legacy games were more of a point-and-click Adventure where you had to figure out the gameplay by tinkering with the surroundings and searching for clues where, unfortunately, this is more of a typical HOPA game. As I stated earlier, the developer went a little weird with the storyline, but the graphics are still gorgeous, and the puzzles and HO's are really entertaining. As an added bonus, there are 12 Replayable Mini-Games including the marble shooting game described in #5 which was not as easy as it sounds!
