I've been playing BFG for 15yrs, and I'm quite happy to play a good old HOG again!

I recommend this game!

I enjoy playing games by this developer I like to play games in a new series rather than an old series this made a change because I was playing many characters instead of one character the only thing I didn't like was the dark parts because I couldn't see them very well

I recommend this game!

I agree it doesn't tax ones brain and the Hidden Objects are easy enough to find. However, if one is after a game that doesn't challenge one but simply is easy to enjoy, I believe this may just suit them. Not my cup of tea but that doesn't mean it won't suit others.

I recommend this game!

I had high hopes for this game; anything that includes Sherlock Holmes piques my interest straight away! First scene was nice, very colourful, objects quite easy to find although there were only a few. The 'special' object is just one of the list, so no extra searching required. Next scene much the same 'to do' list although a different scenario. Nothing too difficult and I got a puzzle piece! ...Show more

I had high hopes for this game; anything that includes Sherlock Holmes piques my interest straight away! First scene was nice, very colourful, objects quite easy to find although there were only a few. The 'special' object is just one of the list, so no extra searching required. Next scene much the same 'to do' list although a different scenario. Nothing too difficult and I got a puzzle piece! Hoped for a puzzle to break up the scenes but you have to find an awful lot of pieces before you get there.

Third scene I'm back to the first one, finding the same items although they've moved to make it slightly more tricky. Is this what the game consists of, going back to the same scenes with every new character? By this time I was losing interest in what I'd hoped would be a great game, so eventually I exited and deleted it.

Could have been a great game with some changes. If FF intend this to be a series, they need to make it more of a challenge to satisfy those of us who've been playing these games for a long time. It's certainly not, as some have described it, 'awful' by any means but it's far too simple for experienced BFG members to pay the CE price. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

I don't mind HOG only games which is what this should have been, but instead there is so much wasted time between HOGs which don't appear to have anything to do with the game - I was pressing the skip button more often than I was clicking on objects!

The HOGs themselves were OK but as many people have noted the scenes are repeated but with changes, sometimes the objects have moved, sometimes it's jumbled names and other scenes had moving fog. The objects were generally easy to find although I struggled a couple of times to find the cricket ball.

This game might be OK for a beginner, but even then there is so much wasted time. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

This game seemed to me to be very boring. The hop's were all the same and they did not use much imagination with them. Not even sure if a child would like it. Better luck next time Friendly Fox!

I don't recommend this game.

Not very interesting and I got bored quick. I like the more interesting hidden object adventure games. I like them more realistic and not so cartoony.

Since everyone was brutally slamming Friendly Fox for disappointing them with a new Hidden Object Game instead of a HOPA, I had to give it a try to find out for myself.

Since everyone was brutally slamming Friendly Fox for disappointing them with a new Hidden Object Game instead of a HOPA, I had to give it a try to find out for myself. First of all, I don't blame them for trying to make some money with a less costly HOG. HOPAs are more complicated and costly to produce, and they are a smaller company...there are only so many HOPAs they can produce in a year!

Secondly, at the beginning of the game, the developers state that Storykeepers is an Experimental game. Perhaps the developers would benefit more from some constructive criticism from reviewers...what did you like, what did you dislike, what would you like to see changed, or added to make the game more fun, etc.? I see this as a perfect opportunity to help Friendly Fox create something wonderful! (and I happen to know that they are amazing people who do listen).

Although there are no voiceovers, it wasn't a deal-breaker for me. The dialog boxes are easy to read, and they don't overwhelm the player with pages of text to read. You play the role of the legendary Guardian of Storyworld, sworn to protect stories and their characters. When a dark force deceives Alice in Wonderland into opening a cursed music box, her stories, and everyone else's, are in danger! Fortunately, Sherlock Holmes whisks in to help solve the case. (and eventually, other characters join you as well).

The goal is to search Hidden Object Scenes that are tied to a particular Quest or Collection, such as finding an umbrella that may contain clues. Yes, you will be required to search scenes multiple times, but the items to find do change position. The HO scenes vary with Listed Items, Silhouetted Shapes, Multiples, and scenes that require finding items using a flashlight. They have added a good magnifying glass - zoom & drag feature, so items are never too small.

Each Chapter requires finding five quest "Collection items" by searching the HO scenes. When you find five of the Collection items, you click the "Combine" tab to earn Stars that will unlock a new chapter and earn puzzle pieces. There are 220 Collection items to find in total, so the game seems to have a decent length.

I did notice that there are two rabbits in the first HO scene, a brown rabbit and a white rabbit, but only the white rabbit is acceptable. This has always been a pet gaming peeve of mine...Noooo, not that rabbit...

Quest-driven HOs were popular back in the day, but obviously, they weren't popular enough to stand the test of time and slowly faded away. I'm not sure why Friendly Fox chose this style for their first HOG, but sometimes you just have to throw spaghetti at the wall to see if it sticks. If this style of HOG isn't your cup of tea at the tea party, try giving the developers some helpful suggestions of what kind of tea you want them to pour you next time.

COLLECTOR'S EDITION EXTRAS:
4 Wallpapers, 14 Before/After Concept Art pictures, 6 Screensavers, 4 Music Soundtracks, 10 Movie Video Cutscenes, 25 Achievements, 294 Puzzle Pieces, and 220 Collection Items.

After giving this game a whirl, head on over to my nature-themed forum for some classic Woodsy excitement and meet fellow BF gamers from across the globe. Chat with devs, gather the latest upcoming game info, or catch up on the latest forum shenanigans (100% chance of shenanigans). There's always something interesting going on at The Woods, so grab some mallows, pull up a log, pop a squat, and join us for some fun around the campfire @ thewoodsforum.boards.net Show less
