It seems a bad balance to have to spend as much time trying to find a good game as it does to play it! These casual games only take a few hours to play in the first place.
It is not a trivial matter to download a series of games only to have to delete them.
I have done this too many times, only to find myself deleting the download because the first scene plops me down in front of an HOG. You have to download the Trial game and play it in order to determine whether or not it is an HOG or has Action components. So you can go through the weeding process I described above and there still will be no mention of HOG (not even the backhand euphemism, "you will have to find things in each scene") to alert you. many of the HOG-heavy games do not self-describe their genre even in their own synopsis. As it turned out, even this labor was wasted, because. After doing that, I was left with something like twelve games out of a couple hundred that likely were non-Action, HOG-free Adventure games. I actually resorted to this tactic, trying to find an Adventure style game that wasn't heavy on HOG, and it took several hours over a couple of days to weed through the list of games in that one genre. This means you have to open every title, to read the brief synopsis, to learn what style the game really is and what it is about. You will find approximately the same list of games in each genre! Sometimes, in the game list, an icon will accompany the title, so you know if it is an HOG or not without even opening it to take a look at the synopsis, but half the time there is no clue. They mush all their game genres together in EVERY category, so their genre labels are meaningless. For example, if you don't want an HOG, you would expect to look in one of the other genre than "Hidden Object," and find what you want. So here comes the big " But." Increasingly, they are selling what I would call blended games, that do not offer the game play you are looking for, and this has ruined it for me.įirst of all, they present their game genres in what appears to be separate categories (Puzzle, Action, Adventure, Hidden Object), but when you delve into a discrete genre, it turns out it isn't sorted at all. I had a good experience overall, and the love affair with Big Fish lasted for years. And their customer service was quick whenever I had a technical problem with a game (which was not often). I usually felt I got my money's worth even if a game did turn out to be too short or not as interesting as I'd hoped. For the most part, their games are fun, colorful, entertaining and not that expensive if you watch for their sales. I have bought and played dozens and dozens of games on Big Fish.
