April Roundup
Hey Assassins,
I want to let you know about my progress. First of all, a game, which BLAEO doesn’t show up. But this game is so beautiful and relaxing.
The Art - Puzzle
9/10
This game is so simple but genius. It’s innovative, relaxing and so beautiful. The price is super fair, but I really wish, there were more puzzles. I hope for a DLC or a second part.
Indecision.

This game is kind of weird but it's really funny and it makes me laugh often. I would sort is as a kind of platformer? You need to play it to understand it. I would recommend it, even if it's very short. Wait for a sale or a bundle.
It's okay. You have 2 games in one. But I have seen way much better HOGs. And the standard price is too expensive for what you get. You can skip this one, you wouldn't miss anything. If you get it in a bundle or win it, you can give it a try.
Sherlock Holmes: Trap for the Hunter
2.7 hours, 5 of 5 achievements
7.5/10
Another Crisp App Studio HOG. You meanwhile will propably know, that I really like these HOGs from these studio. And this was also great. But I hope, they getting real UW Screen Support without cutting the text above just up.
The upcoming game is Vampire & Monsters . Comes out on May 23th. I'm super happy about it and it's going to be an instant buy for me.
Midnight Mysteries: Salem Witch Trials
3.4 hours, 0 of 14 achievements
9.5/10
Okay, first things first: This HOG Game is the best, I have ever played, i think. It was so thrilling and the stroy was nice. The Hidden Object Scences are very great, things were sometimes hard to find. The only negative point are the broken achievements.
But for every player who likes HOGs just a little bit, play this game! It's super!
Glass Masquerade 2: Illusions
10.8 hours, 33 of 38 achievements
9.5/10
Okay, well, maybe I'm not philosophically enough to get completly through the a little bit weird story, but that doesn't bother me.
The game is about the beautiful puzzles and that does it so right. You're so proud with every puzzle that you manage to solve. I really hope, they do some DLCs for the game.
The price is totally fair. Take me about 10 hours to complete one playthrough. But you can play this game often, they is even a higher difficult to play.
Totally recommended! And if you are on the PoP group from steamgifts, I actually make a GA for that game, runs until the first of June.
Viki Spotter: Undersea
0.8 hours, 298 of 298 achievements
6.5/10
Another Viki Spotter Game completed. It's nice and relaxing to play it here and there. Nothing special, but I like playing casual games.
Viki Spotter: The Farm
0.7 hours, 298 of 298 achievements
6.5/10
Same as the other Viki Spotter Game above.
The game's got some heavy bugs, long loading time, there's no possibility to change the resolution…. but hey, I've got a lot of fun with it. The story is quite nice, the Hidden Object Scences are well done and the puzzles too. I can't recommend it to you because of the bugs, but if you are an ingrained HOG-Fan, you should play it.
11-11 Memories Retold
5.7 hours, 15 of 50 achievements
8.5/10
This game is so beautiful and so damn sad. You're getting remembered, that there's nothing great, special or heroic in war. I think, everybody should play this game.
The graphic fits perfectly, but sadly my motion sickness shows up quick because of the blurred and fuzzy style. But I need to play it till the end and I did it. They could have implemented a free save system or at least more save points.
Play that game.
A really nice HOG with very good graphics. The story is okay and the Hidden Object Scences are also made well. I recommend it, but not at full price. Well, can anybody tell me, why the hell HOG are so damn expensive? Some games of this genre cost 15 dollars (euros) and even more! That bears no proportion.
Mighty Gemstones
2.9 hours, 10 of 11 achievements
8/10
I've won this game on SG and I play the first 50 Levels in one turn. The other 50 Levels and some skins can be bought as DLCs on steam and I bought them immediately. I just need 10 more levels to finish the game completly and I have a lot of fun with it. It's a simple match-3 game, but I like the graphics, the music and the different levels. Thumbs up for Mighty Gemstones!
That’s all for April. I played a lot of other games too, but I only tell you about the finished ones. Let’s see what May brings.
Thanks for reading. I appreciate every comment.
Keep on assassinating!
The Art - Puzzle looks really nice, since it’s super-cheap, I’m going to buy it the next time I recharge my Steam wallet. Thanks for the recommendation :)
And I don’t understand why HOGs are so damn expensive, either O.o It really sucks and it’s totally unreasonable, considering the usual lenght and the fairly simplistic gameplay of HOGs.
huh what happened to your achievements for midnight mysteries also damn that is a high rating for that game maybe I should consider playing this month I still need to play a win this month
Personally, I think Salem Witch Trials is the best in the “Midnight Mysteries” series. It’s a pretty good HOG if my memory serves right :)
Yeah, that’s the only bad thing about this game: The achievements are broken - all of them. And I don’t think the devs will fix this, but hey, that doesn’t reduce the fun while playing this game. ;)
Oh well I’m glad they are all broken rather then have 1 unlock and stuff. Thought maybe you ended up doing it offline or something but broken makes a lot of sense
