Christmas Stories: Alice's Adventures Collector's Edition Reviews

I picked this game up despite no reviews at the time because it looked like it would be a cheesy story that would amuse me. This is indeed the case. The mini games are built to take a long time. I tried many times and couldn't beat the "infection"/othello clone game, there was a match 3 game that took forever, and there was some game about picking desserts for kids that no matter what I did I couldn't figure it out and get it to budge even one step, and a 4th game where I just didn't understand what it wanted. I did like some of the different takes on the hidden object sections so far, any hints I had to ask for is just a skill issue there. :) This game does have a full walkthrough which is wonderful (though I don't think you need that with the hint system) and the ability to skip any minigame you want. But I feel the minigames could have been better designed to where a veteran HOG player shouldn't need to skip or at least not be confused as to what goes where. I decided to recommend this despite my issues but ONLY because it is so accessible with a walkthrough, hint system, and skip button that will get you past the obtuse mini games. Veteran players who will have their experience ruined by this issue may want to pass.

Another one for the pile of Christmas themed hidden-object-games my wife seems unable to outgrow so that we can finally move on and play the same idle clicker games... The game is alright, but more of the same when it comes to BFG titles. Kinda like how most Disney+ shows nowadays are kind of alright but very forgettable. The only unforgettable thing is how creepy this game's rendition of the cheshire cat 0..0'

Adorable game, very much enjoyed it! Cute characters, decent puzzles, adorable story!
