Did not like this HOG much. A lot of the objects were near the bottom where you could not see them correctly. Also most of the objects were combined ones, meaning you had to find several parts to get them to count, which most of the time did not really make sense. And the placement of the HO scenes did not make sense either, as well as some of the puzzles were missing instructions shrug
Seems to not have aged well.

Slightly better than the last one, though finding all the pearls was annoying as hell. Also the fact that some of the items are hidden in containers without it showing them to be in containers was annoying, since you have to randomly click on stuff to find the ones that open.
Some of the minigames were annoying since they made you repeat a certain thing for like 3 minutes straight. Which was not really fun.

I played the first two entries so far :

FBI : Paranormal Case : An FBI Agent (who thinks he is some kind Fox Mulder) investigates some weird happening that turn out to be bubblegum chewing aliens.
Each scene has to be revisited 1-2 times with a few standalone rooms. Some translations where horrible. Took me about 3.5h to complete it.

Hidden Files : Echoes of JFK : Better gaphics then the last one. Faint white arrows to guide your gameplay, which unfortunately blend in with the background most of the time. Story was a weird conspiracy theory about the JFK murder. You can collect some files/information about JFK. Took me about 3h to complete

Liked the art style, heavily story driven (though your decisions do not really make a difference), puzzles are not that hard, though for some reason the story never really started to fascinate me shrug

Liked the story and most of the puzzles. The 5 cases are all different from each other but in the end they come nicely together. A thing I greatly enjoyed was the skip button for some of the puzzles that were just too confusing. It made it easier to just concentrate on the cases.

Not sure what to say about this game. I think I shall quote my mistress here concerning Sakura games: Nonsense Nonsense Nonsense BOOBS Nonsense Nonsense Nonsense BOOBS

I actually enjoyed this one, once I forgot about all the weird peeping tom/awkward firlting scenes. Reminded me a lot of mangas I I've read in my youth.

Nice HOG/point'n'click, with start trouble. For some reason it crashed on start with a direct X error, that I was missing some direct X version (which I did not). So the first hour was spent trying to fix the game. I am using a Nvidia card in my PC.

What worked for me was the following:
Open up NVIDIA Control Panel. Under Manage 3D Settings, Program Settings, click Add and add Mata Hari into the list (you might need to look for the .exe which is located in the common folder of your Steam installation. Under option 2 choose "High-performance NVIDIA processor". This should fix the problem on start up.

Of course your drivers should be up to date :D

Now to the game:
You are Mata Hari a young aspiring dancer who is recruited into the spy game. From here on out you will be spying for all the different groups (German, French, etc.), trying to prevent WWI.
I was not the biggest fan of the dancing mini game and also the one with the rats and the travel minigame got tedious after a while. In the end I always used the fast travel option.

This is a nice HOG game. Basically it is pure HOS with a few puzzles mixed in between. Enjoyed it a lot.

Pretty much the same like it's predecessor. It is a nice HOG game. Basically it is pure HOS with a few puzzles mixed in between. Enjoyed it a lot.

Though with this one I had also start problems. When starting the game it started, but did not open, e.g. the process was open in the background, but the game did not come up on screen.

To fix this I had to add the steam.dll from the general steam folder to the game folder and also downloaded another exe file. Though I do not know if only copying the steam.dll did fix it already.

It is a basic match 3 game, without any achievments. You can't even set any options. It works well enough for what it is, but it did not capture my attention really.

Funny, weird platformer. I mean what can I really say about it. Your companions are a giraffe, that travels in your backpack and with which you fly, since it uses its tongue like a rotor and your pet rock.
All parents have been kidnapped by an evil scientist who has turned them into hotdogs. You need to rescue your dad and will meet a lot of weird "people" and bosses on the way, queque veggie dinosaur or hot dog man.

Second playthrough to complete the missing achievments. This time I played memory instead of HOS. You have to match tiles with the same theme, so a bloody knife and a corpse, a butterfly and a net, etc. It was alright, but honestly the story was not that great that I needed the second playthrough. Also I found all the missing collectibles (butterflies and illusive objects).

A funny dating simulator. You can create your own Dad character. You and your teenage daughter move to a new house after your partner (you can choose if it was a woman or man) has died. Now you move to a new neighborhood with a lot of elegible dads with kids to date. You will join dadbook (a version of facebook for dads XD) to meet some of the other dads. Most of the routes are funny. I never really not liked a dad, they all had their moments. My favourite was Robert, my least favourite were probably Brian and Joseph.

Nice HOG, until you run into a game breaking bug and have to delete your profile, because otherwise you will just get a window with a debug report instead of the game starting. Also game runs slow on Windows 10 unless you plug in a controller. For some reason then it runs at a normal speed, but at least this gave me a solution for Midnight Mystery 3 from the same devs.

-Pros:

• nice mystery
• nice HOGs

Cons:

• game breaking bug, when you quit the game while doing a puzzle
• puzzles that are not really logical
• no steam achievments, only ingame
• game runs at 1 FPS unless you plug in a controller

Really nice game, once I managed to get it running properly. The game runs slow on Windows 10 unless you plug in a controller. For some reason then it runs at a normal speed and I was finally able to play it.

-Pros:

• nice mystery to solve
• nice HOGs

Cons:

• a lot of collectibles, that are sometimes not really vsible and that you cannot reach once you leave a scene
• slow running game without a real solution from the devs :(

A nice HOG with a pirate theme.

Pros:

• nice puzzles
• nice story

Cons:

• no teleport, which means you have to walk everywhere, which can be tedious since sometimes you have to search for that one HOS that appeared

Nice HOG.

Pros:

• Beautiful backgrounds
• a lot of minigames and HOGs
• a cute little helper in form of a kitten

Cons:

• a lot of backtracking
• some odd animations
• no savepoints, so you cannot get back to stuff you missed, without having to replay the whole game

Nice HOG.

Pros:

• Beautiful backgrounds
• more minigames as HOSs (can be a pro or a con depending what you like more
• more cute little helpers: bird, otter and a tree fairy (or something like it)

Cons:

• game areas become closed off, so you have to search for the collectibles before that

I won it just like it's predecessor and played through it in a day. Loved it just like the last installment.
One of the changes is that you now can cook your food with the ingredients you can buy or collect, can craft your weapons, brew your own potions.

As with the previous game some of the things that are annoying is that some of the stuff you need to collect is pretty small and not very visible (like the perls). Also if you are going for completion the crafting can get annoying, since you will have to get all of your skills up to 100. Some will come naturally like the cooking one, others will require you too hit the crafting button countless times without really needing the crafted items.

I have mixed feelings about this game. On one hand it is quite funny (though you should not make fun of the mentally ill), on the other hand I often did not know what to do next. And don't get me started on the achievments. Stuff like randomly put a cup of water on totally random places to get the achievement or squirt ketchup or mustard on random stuff.

Cute little story with some little twists.

An okay HOG with time travel aspects. Found it a bit difficult to keep track of all the locations in the different time zones.

Liked this HOG very much. Fun minigames and nice HOG scenes.

Can't rate the game since it would not play properly. It was slow as fuck. Took me 10 minutes to clear the first HOG. Tried fixing it with running it in compability mode, but did not work either. Even installed it on a virtual WinXP machine without any luck, which is when I gave up.

I was kinda on a retro trip. Well not really much to say about this. If you know Pac Man you know what to expect. It's a fun Pac Man game, where you can choose different boards to play on and change how everything looks.

Also a retro game. Aliens have overtaken the earth and you have to fight them by shooting at them with various weapons. Every time you hit one of the blobs it will divide into two smaller ones until they are completly destroyed.
You can also play this in Coop, though I never tried it. It's enough for a fun evening.

It's a HOG, but with a twist. You have to go to different cluttered locations where you are trying to find the most valuable items that you then can sell in your store after you have haggled with the owner for an exceptable price.

You have several different modes you can choose from. If I remember correctly an endless mode, the 30-day challenge where you have to be the top seller in 30 days.

It was a fun game and I will return to it to complete it.

A really fun HOG with a good story, Needs a second playthrough to get all the achievements though.
