If you’ve always wanted to see the world, or just love to discover new places without having to leave your home, AVI Games has got you covered with their latest game. The seventh entry in AVI’s Big Adventure: Trip to Europe series has just been released on Steam.

In this game, you’ll follow a lovable family of four on their European vacation. This newest expedition will take you on a tour of several beautiful countries and landmarks around Europe. There’s so much to see! In Switzerland, you’ll visit the breathtaking Staubbach Waterfall, and from there you’ll see the fantastic Mykonos island in Greece, a Maltese fishing village, the sophisticated streets of Paris, the marvellous Trevi fountain in Rome and so much more.

Big Adventure: Trip to Europe 7 is a classic hidden object game. Each HOG scene brings us to a different European location. You are first introduced to the city in which the scene takes place via a short synopsis. I really enjoyed reading these little blurbs - some of the information was new to me and quite interesting. It made me feel like I was truly part of the adventure. Afterwards you’ll see a list of items to find at this stage. There are mini-games consisting of light puzzles with varying degrees of difficulty that take place between the levels. The puzzles are quite diverse, so there’s not much repetition; there are match-2 with mahjong type tiles, variations on a labyrinth kind of puzzle, swap tiles, find the way, and others.

Every scene hides a friendly raccoon and a stamp, in addition to the list of items to hunt for. Each stamp you collect is added to your stamp book, which you can consult at any point during the game. Furthermore, there are souvenirs that you can buy to add to your display. To gather these keepsakes, all you have to do is play the game. The more points you collect, the more money you get to spend on these collectibles. You’ll end up with a souvenir for each country you visit. Additionally, this collector’s edition is packed with extras. It has 10 extra levels, lots of bonus puzzles, wallpapers and even a music player to listen to the 20 music tracks that are included.

Given the fact that the basic mechanics of hidden object games are fairly simple, you might think that a game like this would get boring fast, but the developer has found some interesting ways to mix it up. They achieved this is by modifying the basic items list. Certain scenes have silhouettes instead of written words, some have images, rebus puzzles, and even patterns (instead of having the word cat, there’s an image of his fur’s pattern.) There are also times where there will be objects in a list, and you’ll need to place these in the right spot. It adds some challenge and variety to the game, all of which helped to keep me entertained throughout. Another great aspect of the game is that there’s no time limit, so you can do the scene as quickly or as slowly as you wish.

Big Adventure: Trip to Europe 7 is an interesting example of the hidden object genre, one that I would recommend. I’ve played so many HOGs that end up becoming extremely repetitive due the basic mechanics of the game, but this is not the case with the Big Adventure: Trip to Europe series. The developer has found some very clever methods to keep it fresh, with a fair amount of variety in the game itself as well as the extras. The scenes and puzzles were challenging enough for me. I played until the end!

Whether you’re new to the Big Adventure series or a returning player, you won’t regret picking up this seventh instalment. Big Adventure: Trip to Europe 7 was a fun and relaxing way for me to spend the five hours it took me to finish. If you like puzzles and brainteasers, you should definitely give this game a try. You’ll want to keep playing until the end to see where you go next!

Darkarta: A Broken Heart's Quest is a hidden object adventure game developed by Tuttifrutti, an Italian developer new to Steam. The main character is Mary and her daughter was just kidnapped. Sophia, Mary's daughter, was taken by Darkarta, the dark lord of a mythical parallel world. He's extremely powerful but to cast his immortality spell, he need an innocent soul, Sophia. Mary will have to go to Darkarta's world if she ever want to see her daughter again. On her adventure she'll also end up finding more about herself and her past.

The story is about what you would expect from any good HOPA. It's a well written story and well worth reading. There's some part that are a bit cliche, but for a newcomer he did a great job. The graphics are nice and colorful even though the quality varies. The game is generally visually pleasing. My only complaint is that when you get to the cut scene it looks somewhat out of focus. It's not an isolated problem with this type of game, but a rather common theme. The scene and HO scene on the other hand are of excellent quality.

The HO scene are challenging enough and there's a good variety. There's many puzzles some are simplistic but most are well balanced and offer a nice challenge and are fun to solve. Although I found that some of the puzzle could have benefited from a clearer explanation. If you don't feel like solving a HO scene, you can always opt for a game of match-3 instead. For those who like to acquire achievements, this game as a lot of them and they're fairly easy to achieve. The game offers all the options you usually find in that type of game, a diary where you can read the story you've already seen, a list of objectives you have to do, a map which is very helpful since you sometimes have to backtrack to complete the story and of course it's much faster to travel through the map.

Darkarta offer several hours of gameplay and for a very reasonable price. I enjoyed playing it and do recommend it to anyone who like solving a mystery or just love a good story. There’s several difficulties to choose from so it’s great for both beginners and adept of the genre. For a first time developer Tuttifrutti did a fantastic job and I’m looking forward to see what comes next.

House of 1,000 Doors: Serpent Flame is the 3rd game in the House of 1 000 Doors serie. Once again you play as Kate. Giant snake are coming up from underground and wreaking havoc across the earth, and you are the only one who can save the day! Your mission is to gather the elements needed to complete the machine that will destroy the ancient snake coming to destroy the world. To do that you will have to travel back in time to four different era. The story is really engrossing and the puzzles are just perfect; hard enough to be challenging but not too hard that they break the flow of the story.

• Just like the other games in this serie, the story is very well written.
  
• There's a hint system if you get stuck and all puzzles are skippable.
  
• The puzzles are well integrated in the story.
  
• For HOG's lovers, there's lots of HO scenes.
  
• Differents mode you can choose from, meaning it's perfect for either the beginner or hardcore HOG fans.
  
• There's a map that make travelling between location very easy and painless.

• The graphic are very nice but the cut scene are lower quality and don't look as nice.
  
• The bonus story is usually a follow up of the main story but in this case it wasn't so it can be confusing. Still a great episode on it's own though.
  
• The HOG can get repetitive a little as you have to find objects in the same scene in some instance.

I really enjoyed the House of 1 000 Doors series and this installment is no different, it's a well crafted story and there's a lot of content for the price. Whether you're just starting playing HOG or have been playing for years, this game is sure to keep you entertain!

In Scarytales: All Hail King Mongo, you play the princess. Your father, the king has disappear and you brother who is being controlled by the evil sorcerer is now in power. You'll have to rescue them by defeating the evil Zarrar. A hidden objects game with a fair amount of puzzles Scarytales is entertaining. The story should take you between 1.5 to 3 hours to complete if you take your time. The graphics are not amazing for this day and age but fairly decent. the HO scene are challenging at time but not very hard so are the puzzles. If you get stuck on a puzzle at some point they are all skippable and there's a hint system you can use if you ever need help but as I said the game is not that hard when played on normal mode.

• A nice balance between HO scene and puzzles.
  
• There's a hint system if you get stuck and all puzzles are skippable.
  
• The story even though it's not original is entertaining and well written.
  
• For HOG's lovers, there's lots of HO scenes.
  
• You can choose between normal or hard mode.
  
• A slider let's you choose the volume of the music

• There's no map so it's up to you to know where to go and you end up backtracking but the locations are pretty limited it's fairly fast to find where you should go
  
• Not necessarily a con to everyone but I found the story to be pretty unoriginal but it is well written.
  
• The graphics are not bad but also nothing spectacular and some scene are better than other so it's not consistent.

All in all, I enjoyed the time I spent playing Scarytales: All Hail King Mongo, it was an entertaining 2 hours. It's a fun game with a nice storyline. The puzzles and HO scenes where challenging enough to keep me entertain through the whole game.
I recommend this game to all puzzle's fan out there and for the novice, this would be a good starting point.

Under Leaves is a hidden Object game pure and simple. On a map of the world you are given many different locations, each location is a different stage to complete all related to different animals indigenous to the location on the map. Each stage is beautifully crafted. A real work of love! The fact that each level has a certain color scheme give it a certain style but also makes it surprisingly challenging, just enough to keep my interest through the whole game.

• For those who likes the extra challenge, there's 29 achievements. One for each stage and one extra for finishing the game without help.
  
• Each stage is beautifully crafted, you can tell that a lot of work and thought went into each one. A real work of art!
  
• Each stage is random, the objects you have to find are never in the same spot, so you can replay it indefinitely.
  
• The objects are not so easy to find so it's a very good challenge for HOG veterans.
  
• Enough content to keep you busy for about 2-3 hours.
  
• Nice soothing music that fits well with the game

• Honestly I'm having a hard time finding any cons to this game, the only warning I might give is don't be fooled by the cute and light graphics, this game can be very hard. If you're not into HOG maybe start by something easier. As seen in the screenshots, the style and monochromatic color scheme can make it hard to find the hidden objects.

A cute and well thought out hidden objects game that will keep you entertain for several hours. If you like puzzle and HOG, this game is a must have. It is certainly well worth the small price tag of 5$.

How to be Best Russian Game Developer is a game only in name. You can get all the achievements within 10-15 minutes and after that, well let's just say there's really no incentive to continue playing. Even at the low price of a dollar it's still too much for this "game".

• For those who care about achievements, really easy 100%

• No tutorial and no hints at all which makes it hard to know what any of the upgrade are about
  and what to do with them
  
• Litterally mindless clicking and no incentive to keep playing once the achievements are done
  
• Rather boring asset flip
  
• It could have been a very funny satire but it doesn't feel like the dev put that much effort
  in their game

I really don't how this game has a positive rating but save yourself and just don't buy this game, there's really no redeeming qualities whatsoever to make this game anything else than an asset flip. Even if you're an achievement hunter, there's a lot better games out there that gives you easy achievements and are still enjoyable. Stay away.

The Fan is interactive horror point & click game made completely with pictures, you get to play as the killer and have to go around to find object while uncovering a gruesome story of kidnapping and murder. Honestly there's not much gameplay per se, it's more about discovering what happens with the victims. If you like a good thriller then that might be the game for you but otherwise don't bother.

I'm really on the fence about this game, I still gave it a thumbs up because it's really not a bad game and you can tell how much work was put into it but it's also not a good game. I didn't pay full price and I would recommend you only buy it when it's on sale.

• Made with a lot of love, a lot of work clearly went into this game
  
• A very unique and well crafted story

• Extremely short for the asking price. In a little over an hour, I finished the whole story and looked at every single item there was in the game more than once
  
• The story might upset some people as it is very gruesome
  
• Even what there is of gameplay is really not challenging (you have to find some objects) and they're not really hidden so you can't even call it a HOG.

I would give this game a 5/10, if I could give it a neutral rating although I think it has some potential. I would really like to see the devs dig deeper into the story and add more gameplay. A couple of puzzles would have been a welcome addition to this game.

In retrospect, I'm happy I tried it but it's not a game that will stick with me. If you must get it do so only when there's a good sale!

Pretty good puzzle game if you like Picross type puzzles,
the only con I can think off is that when they changed it from free to play to selling the game, they didn't think to change anything, so you have to wait for coin to recharge every 24 hours if you don't want to pay for them.
That's too bad since some of the later puzzle almost require you to take a hint.
That gets quite irritating considering the game cost 5$, I don't want to have to log in everyday for coin to play a game I paid for...

Overall still a pretty good game with lots of levels to play.

Beautiful and relaxing puzzle game. It's pretty straight forward, the puzzles are stained-glass pieces that formed beautiful images when assembled. Each puzzle is a different country so there's a lot of variety in the images.

Definitely a must if you like puzzles.

I really enjoyed The Charnel House Trilogy, the story was quite interesting. The puzzles are not very difficult but they completed the story really well. The graphic remind me a lot of the Wadjet eye games, in fact if you love their games, you'll probably like this one as well.

I would recommend it to anyone who love playing quirky story heavy Point & Click.
