Fear for Sale: City of the Past HD - A Hidden Object Mystery (Full‪)‬ 9+

I am giving this game 4 stars because of the length of time for each scene to load and some slight glitchiness. That being said, I highly enjoyed this game. I played in casual mode because I wanted to relax. The puzzles were varied and not too complicated and there were a lot of HOPs which I really enjoy. The game flowed well and was very lengthy. I really liked the map which could quickly transport you to another location. I also particularly liked that it indicated whether you had collected all the collectibles for each scene. Definitely worth the price and especially at the sale price. Will play again!

First, my wife and I have played dozens of Big Fish hidden object games for years on a 3rd generation iPad. We recently got a deal we couldn't pass up on an iPad Pro. No, I didn't write that to brag. I wrote that because many of the reviews are commenting about the screen load times. Well, of course - it's a very new game with big graphics demands. Look at the download size! Sure you can complain, but there are hundreds of older Big Fish games for the older devices. For those of us lucky enough to have newer devices, it's wonderful to have a game that shows what they are capable of. There is all kinds of extra little animation bits. It's fun to just touch an object to see what will happen. Okay, not all are relevant to the game story, but it certainly adds to the creepy atmosphere. We are thrilled that Big Fish took the extra effort to make a game that really takes advantage of 'beefier' hardware. If you've got it, this game is a must have.

Still playing so the jury is still out on length however: like the rest of the series (each plays as a stand alone) this one is rich in color, crisp artwork, and many collectables and morphing objects. Transporting map which tells you once you have collected all extra objects. I wish it had a diary but that's a small inconvenience. Storyline so far is quite good - a sculptor is murdered and a girl is blamed but is she really guilty or is she being framed? Statues come to life and wreak havoc. Custom difficulty available. No vermin so far but I found a cute puppy 😊. Verdict: buy!
Update: length is decent- better than the last game! HO varied, short loading between scenes but not horrible. Graphics are rather intense so I'm cool with a few seconds lag.
