Played on advanced mode. Sound in this is great. The dialogue is interesting and helpful for play. I love Chakka. I always love games with animal helpers of any kind. I love the theme and graphics are great. Puzzles can be difficult on this level. All in all I love the game.

I recommend this game!

In this latest game in the Enchanted Kingdom series you play the game as the daughter of Satur, a Forest Keeper with a big secret. As the game begins your dad is kidnapped by the wicked genie Sardonik and now you are off on a dangerous journey to save him.

One of the best things about this game is that we have a new and refreshing storyline, but along with the good comes the bad in that there is far too much hand-holding to make this game enjoyable for some of the more seasoned HOPA gamers. The game could easily be played by younger members of the family with little help from mom and/or dad.

The game has a lot to offer if you want an easy-peasy and relaxing way to spend a few hours of your time. The graphics are beautiful and although the developer uses a bright color palette, at least some of the colors are not as neon and artificial as they once were. It generally takes me a long time to play a game as I love to gawk at the scenery and every little detail, and this game has a lot to offer if good graphics are all that you want. Somehow even the beautiful graphics were not enough to hold my attention.

The HOPS are well crafted with some being better than others. I found that I enjoyed most of the HOS far more than I did the puzzles. Of course, there were still far more puzzles than HOS. Most of the puzzles were easy and I only skipped the maze puzzle because I couldn’t figure out what I needed to do.

Generally, I enjoy most games from this developer who creates some of my favorite games. Unfortunately, The Secret of the Golden Lamp is a bit too easy and I found myself able to play the game on auto-pilot. In the end, although I did purchase the game it will probably live somewhere on my computer gathering dust. As always, I recommend that you try the demo because The Secret of the Golden Lamp might be the perfect game for you. Happy gaming! Show less

I recommend this game!

DOMINI SURE CAN TELL A STORY BUT WHY DO WE ALWAYS HAVE TO BE WILLING TO DEAL WITH EASY GAMEPLAY?

5 / 5

Four powerful Genies hold Elemental Powers of Water, Fire, Nature, and Air, but there is a fifth Genie who draws his powers from the darkness. No one thought it was possible to harness the power of all five elements (except for Queen Elsa, I'll Let It Go...Into The Unknown) perhaps a new element will arise to save the Enchanted Kingdom?

Gadgets/Helper:
Why does a Genie need a helper? Can't a ...Show more

Gadgets/Helper:
Why does a Genie need a helper? Can't a Genie just snap his/her fingers and get 'er done? I'd also like to add the comment that I flew on a Pegasus to a floating island in the sky and the second I landed my journey was abruptly halted because the bridge was missing? The answer couldn't be more obvious, I needed a Unicorn? Back to the Helper Gadget which is one and the same and obviously only added as a cuteness factor because he is only used 7 times in the Main Chapters only and only to reach items no mortal could reach (???) the rest of the time he sits on a cushy pillow (which I'm assuming I lug around this entire harrowing journey) not stirring or making a single drangonly peep...good Chakka!

Collectibles & Morphing Objects (CE Version Only):
There are 15 Morphing Genie Vessels and 15 Animal Tracks with pictures and descriptions in the extra's menu. There are 51 Zoom Zone Mushrooms that can be used to purchase 15 Laboratory Items such as pinecones and a sack of flour? I have to cry foul on the mushrooms which seem to be rather magical at times and look nothing like a mushroom, in fact, they look like a blob of black magical fog tucked in the darkest corner of the zoom zone???

Hidden Object Scenes:
There are 13 Hidden Object Scenes +6 in the CE Bonus Chapter and an alternate Match 3 Game available, which btw, doesn't allow you to make consecutive matches quickly. (you have to wait for all tiles to stop falling before you can make the next match) I was impressed for the first time in a long time by the beauty, the variety, and the creativity, however, the objects were still very obvious so let's work on that one, shall we? There were Listed Item Finds, Vertical & Horizontal Slider Bar Finds, Spot the Differences, Combo Silhouetted Shape Finds, Matching Pair Finds, Keywords in Sentence Finds, Morphing Object Finds, Replace Items into the Scene Finds, Matching Pair Finds, Recipe Item Finds, Swatches Finds, and one new style where an object was pictured inside a bubble and you had to figure out what interaction was required to complete the item. If the objects were a little less obvious to spot, these would have been some of the best Hidden Object Scenes I've ever seen (BG's Fam Mys has my #1 slot at the moment!)

Mini-Games:
There are 15 Mini-Games +8 in the CE Bonus Chapter. You can choose to play them in an Easy or Hard difficulty mode and you can choose which mode to have them start out in the Custom Setting (you can still switch between modes for each individual game) Below are a few of my personal favorites:

1-Select up & down arrows and side arrows to swap sections of lock parts on the left & right.
2-Rotate disk rings and drag the gold bar to recreate the pattern of the red marbles shown on the clue.
3-Press arrows to add or subtract pressure in each tube to the correct amounts.
4-Trap Lazarus in a honeycomb grid.

Bonus Chapter (CE Version Only)
Oops... Let's just put this back where we found it and make a bee-line for the door and if anybody asks, I was in my office the entire day! (whistle, whistle, whistle) Looks like Professor Xavier (no, not the awesome X-men professor) opened up a huge can of genie worms and let the cat out of the bag, only this was a bad#-bleep genie who's been cooped up longer than all pandemic mandates in the history of mankind combined, and trust me, this genie didn't have a computer, games, or the internet to keep him occupied! Things go from bad to really bad when you discover the genie is on the loose, and you are stuck in his past...oh, crap, this can only mean one thing, dun, dun, dun...no internet...arghhhhhh!!!!!! This is an average-length Domini chapter spanning over 6 scene locations with 8 additional Mini-Games and 6 Hidden Object Scenes, but because you aren't playing as the half-breed Genie, poor little Chakka services aren't required. You will continue your search for the final 3 Morphing Genie Vessels, 3 Animal Tracks, and 9 Zoom Zone Mushrooms (of varying amounts) which allows you to purchase the Laboratory Items. I found this chapter rather boring and unimpressive compared to the main chapter.

Collector's Edition Extra's: (CE version only)
16 Wallpapers, 10 Concept Art Pictures, 5 Music Soundtracks, 20 Movie Video Cutscenes, 38 Achievements, 15 Replayable Mini-Games, 18 Replayable Hidden Object Scenes, 15 Morphing Genie Vessels,15 Animal Traces (with descriptions), a gazillion Missing Notes, 51 Mushrooms, 15 Laboratory Items (purchase with Mushrooms) 4 Main Chapters +Bonus Chapter, and a Built-In Strategy Guide.

It started out a little slow but picked up and I got into the story. However, I think I might have been halfway through that it got good. I probably wont play again but it was a free game so I cant complain too much. I will say the graphics although pretty kinda made it slow down and glitch a little bit.

I don't recommend this game.

I have tried several in this series and they are all lacking. This one is a little better BUT the stroryline is just terrible.

For instance you start with a dad and his daughter who are Keepers of the Forest. Dad gets sucked up into we do not know what yet and the daughter is left wandering around in front of their house [there is a sign that tells us this].

I have tried several in this series and they are all lacking. This one is a little better BUT the stroryline is just terrible.

After getting pieces to put a wheel on a cart and move the cart to cross the bridge next to the house the daughter asks "what will I find there?" My goodness she lives there!

Then once across the bridge she finds a map and then says "Even if I have lived here my whole life, a map is always good". WHAT?

On the plus side the colors are good, the hidden objects are normal size, and the music is not intrusive.

The game play is very repetitive reminiscent of other games, same old same old.

I did not finish the demo, this game was not a winner for me. Show less

I don't recommend this game.
