A Zoo Mystery and Ancient Secrets in Kuros

I really liked 3 Days: Zoo Mystery, it was really fun! I did NOT enjoy the Fishing puzzle game though, LOL. The hidden objects were hidden cleverly, and they mostly had to do with the storyline which was good. Lots of good puzzles and hidden object tasks in this game too.

Some puzzles were too hard or I didn't understand them, and I liked that the game had an option where you could complete a hidden object challenge instead of doing the puzzle. I took advantage of that feature a couple of times. The game was a good length too, at least a couple of days of gameplay. Not sure about replayability value, though I suppose you could play it to get a higher score. Oh, and the game also has unlimited hints, basically it's a question mark that has to refill after you use it.

I would definitely recommend this game to people to play, it was pretty good! I used this walkthrough for the hard parts.

I also finished Ancient Secrets: Quest for the Golden Key recently and it was really fun. I used this walkthrough for the hard parts, it was really useful, lol, especially for the harder slider puzzles. My daughter who is six actually played this whole game with me, and she really enjoyed it too! She needed help to read stuff of course, which was fine. The gameplay is basically a mixture of point-and-click adventures, hidden objects and puzzles games.

Like I said before, some of the puzzles were really hard like some of the later slider puzzles. Other puzzles were really easy and my daughter figured them out before me! lol. The game was also a good length, about 3 to 5 hours of gameplay. You get to travel to different locations, search shops, talk to people to get quests and do lots of puzzles. A really good game that I would definitely recommend!

The last game I finished recently was Kuros, a beautiful hidden object and puzzle game. The graphics are stunning! Basically you are in the land of Kuros, and you have to fix these glyph stones that are broken. You talk to people and peform quests for them, and also have to find hidden objects like map pieces (put them together and get a new section of map to explore) and collect items to solve problems (like how to make a bridge across a chasm). I used this walkthrough for the hard parts. Kuros was a pretty good game, but too short! I wished it had been longer. But, another definite recommendation!

Coming soon.....a review of Legend of Crystal Valley.
