So Much Stuff Reviews

I love this game series. It is great for days that I am too tired to do anything else and don't want to just sit and watch TV. It is something that I feel good about my grandkids playing too, since it sort of uses their brains. I just wish that they had more levels or levels you could buy as a DLC to expand the game without having to buy a complete new one, especially since I have already bought all three games.

I like this game a lot. It's the quintessential "mom game". It's got nice art and relaxing music. It's always great to pick up and play for a few minutes. My favorite game is Spot the Difference -- it's a shame there aren't more of them -- and my least favorite is "Click to Swap", because the images can be hard to parse sometimes. I also like the default sorting/So Much Stuff games. The jigsaws are OK. That being said, I'm not 100% confident that this game wasn't AI generated...

Quite a retro HOG with 18 chapters of 4 different games each in the main section and 8 bonus chapters each containing 4 games in the CE content. Other CE stuff is a music player, several wallpapers of junkpile stuff, and a few extra picture frames of collectibles. However, the collectibles are all grouped together into 4 "rooms" which you can view at any time, so that part at least doesn't really look like much extra stuff. Lots of stuff to rearrange or pick up in five, not four, play modes. Sort is a clutter game where you click on matching pairs of stuff to remove. So Much Stuff is classic HOS stuff but with the list buried in the stuff itself, which gradually unfolds as you dig through the stuff. Click to Swap is a jigsaw puzzle variant of clicking on any 2 pieces until all the stuff in the picture is in the correct orientation. Jigsaw is a traditional jigsaw puzzle, but the pieces sure are oddly shaped stuff. The fifth play mode doesn't appear until quite late in the game and is Difference (spot the differences in the paired images of stuff). In the hidden object games you must also pick up all the fragments of the bonus item, which are mostly buried under everything else or at least don't become obvious until you've removed a good deal of other stuff. Finding all the bonus item fragments brings up a "continue" button so you have the choice to either quit and go on to other stuff, or keep on going with the scene until you've cleared all the stuff. All of the bonus items as well as stuff from the finished jigsaw puzzle images become collectibles which will fill the picture frames in the collectibles section. There are no bonus multipliers, no timers, and no score counter in any of the games, so you don't have to worry about losing your stuff over this game in frustration. It's the sort of stuff you do when you don't want to deal with stuff. Even the background music is pretty chill stuff which you might get bored with. Some stuff is strangely named or you might need some extra language skills to figure out just what stuff you're supposed to find in the HOS, but otherwise it's not a particularly challenging game even if the swap and jigsaw puzzles often feature some hugely cluttered, repetitive images of stuff. Some annoying quirks are that stuff in the HOS are literally spread all the way to the very edges of the screen and may only have a tiny bit showing along the edge. And if something is on the edge of the screen where the hint button is, you may not be able to pick that stuff up without pressing on the hint button too because even if you're not trying to hit the hint button, the stuff is going to get it for you more often than not. As a completionist, I like that you have the option to keep going with doing stuff in the HOS, but because the game doesn't automatically end when you've done everything, it's hard to tell when you're done with doing stuff because the continue button will just keep on sitting there until you click it. Quite a lot of Steam achievements, and not that hard to get as they are all of the "play long enough" stuff, never mind that with the "accidental hint button clicking" quirk you don't really even need to try to get some of the Steam stuff. There is some weird stuff going on with the stats in the post-game summary which should be ignored because, no, you really aren't among only 0.1% of players getting this stuff when you check the global achievement stats on your stuff. Recommended if you like going down memory lane with playing classic hidden object games and don't want to stress over stuff while still getting a tiny bit of challenge with sorting out the stuff in some pretty intricate jigsaw puzzles. I'll also give kudos to the developer for making this game not exactly like all their other HOGs which are starting to look like cloned stuff. Can't believe I wrote so much stuff about So Much Stuff, but now I'm out of stuff to stuff into this stuff, so am finally going to stuff it before you tell me to get stuffed.

A fun game where you complete category chapters, each with 4 parts: Hidden Object, Sort by Pairs, Swap to Complete Image and Jigsaw (there are a few Spot the Differences in place of the Swap chapters which I prefer). This game is similar to the Twistingo games with beautiful photo scenes and cleverly hidden items. There's 18 standard Chapters and then CE chapters. I really like this game because it's different from the usual HO games. An enjoyable way to pass the time and I will be looking for more!

While I enjoyed and appreciate the premise of this game, I found it much too easy and way too repetitive for each level to really enjoy it. The dev's write up mentioned different levels of difficulty, but I didn't see where that was a choice, unless you had to play through three different times, and trust me, I don't know if anyone could withstand that. Perhaps some will enjoy the simplicity of it and the lack of different types of challenges. And that's great, we're all different. I think they might add some sort of count to the find the difference challenges so it's known how many there are. I don't think I've ever played a game where the achievements required the player to use hints. And I must say that using the hint button in this game wasn't a plus for me. The hint generates on the screen your working, without any sort of flash or notable trail and as a result, most of the time you cannot see it. There aren't too many find the differences (thank heaven) and the placement puzzles have the most variety. I encountered problems with the circular puzzle (just the circle move one). It wouldn't let me move the circles after about five minutes. I could use the hint button to move them, but I couldn't click to move them. The jigsaws are very easy and won't cause any stress and the sorting and finding rooms go very fast. Anyway, give it a try, you may love it.

Absolutely loved this game. If you're into hidden object and puzzle games without the ridiculous story or characters, this game is for you. It's quite relaxing and the music is quite pleasant.
