Nevertales: The Beauty Within Collector's Edition

I haven't had a HOGA (The Lost Lands series, The Legacy series) leave me thinking 'wow' ....until now. How did I not know about the Nevertales. Beautiful graphics and soundtrack, excellent voice acting, HO's that are quite unique, puzzles, hidden roses in each scene and a bonus morphing object in HO's which unlock things once the game is complete. It is a very long game but it never loses your attention with a detailed story, a beautiful story. When you play the Collectors Edition, you receive not only a bonus chapter, but you also get a another chapter that will become unlocked after completing certain puzzles and a Strategy Guide in case you need further assistance. I am now a huge fan of Mad Head Games and look forward not only to the rest of the Nevertales series but also, all the other games they have developed. Wow!

This has to be hands down the best HOG I have ever played. There is so much to do and gameplay was 10 hours for me and I never got bored. Genkicoll gives an excellent review, so I won't go into the details. Suffice to say, you're in for a treat if you play this. Graphics were excellent, absolutely stunning in some scenes. Story was interesting and although you guessed the theme, the game took you into areas you never imagine. Remember, it is fantasy!! Music was lovely, full orchestral music in many cases and never intrusive. Mini games ranged from easy to challenging. I skipped a few. One game needed patience and a steady hand. Took me a few goes to do that, so I did learn a little patience. HO scenes were variable with shadow figures, lists and interactive pieces. The full game took me 8 hours. The extras was like unwrapping a Russian Babushka doll and finding something else inside of it which went on for another 2 hours. The bonus chapter brought a nice ending to the gam...

This game was one of the better hidden object games. I really enjoyed it. The best part was the bonus game and the bonus bonus game. It was fun to go back to find objects I had missed and redo the hidden object sections I did not do well in. I have now played two madhead games and they were both very good. Please would steam get more of their games for us to play.

This game is much longer than most and has some very interesting ways of doing things. For instance in some of the HOPs to even get the clues you have to find say 4 objects that will then open up the HOP list. Also I liked the story and found it very possitive, as opposed to so many other games in this type of game. No vampires or sick evil nemesis. Refreshing really. It has collectables and morphing objects, which is always nice and a good map and a Strategy Guide if you get stuck. so you don't have to leave the game. Enjoyed this one.

I HOPE MORE OF THIS TYPE OF GAME FINES IT"S WAY TO STREAM. THE HOP"S ARE UNUSUAL WITHOUT BEING MORE DIFFICULT. THERE ARE SURPRISE TWIST WHICH MAKE GAME STORY INTERESTING!!

Definitely recommend! Pros .Engaging and entertaining story .Fantasy atmosphere .Lovely clear artwork/graphics/scenes .Complimenting music/sounds/voice acting .Four difficulty modes, including custom .Mini-map with fast travel .Lockable toolbar .Gears appear when objects in position for possible use .Intricate adventure play .Assorted types of hidden object scenes .Various type of mini-puzzles .Collectables (roses) .Morphing objects in hidden object scenes .Good length .Bonus chapter .Bonus content including three hidden one-scene chapters .Very user-friendly animal companion (usually I spend the game trying to kill them in increasingly inventive ways because I find them so bothersome; this one I want to keep) Cons .Story had a some holes in it .Some sounds were so annoying I had to use mute (ie baby crying) .Unnecessary steps in some of the adventure play (solution/code obvious) Final thoughts (8/10): Strong game; enjoyable experience.

interesting story and fun puzzles :)

This game is good. It has a well-thought-out story and nice graphics. Pros: + Very good gameplay + Collectibles + Music + Map

I liked how engaging the story is and all the hidden object games. There is a bonus chapter and three other hidden stories but you must complete the first game for the bonus chapter but for the hidden stories you must conquer all achievements. This makes you replay story and try harder to find the extras in the game and challenge yourself to higher levels. I don't have any negative comments to make. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys hidden object stories.

I love this game! one of the best HOP games out there! It takes your through all the bonus content which it has extra bonus plus guiding you thru finding all the hidden roses & collectibles leading you to doing a puzzle then leading you to bonus games..super planned out & pretty neat idea from the creators & developers..really enjoyed playing it all!
