Solitaire Mystery: Four Seasons Reviews

this game would not play, it just keeps flashing.

If you are looking for a straight solitaire game with side puzzles and hidden objects mixed in then this game will give you about 70% of that. The other 30% is a strange and extremely frustrating variation on solitaire where you must match cards (both number and suite) in a Mahjong inspired mode. This Mahjong mode doesn't seem to play correctly and is a bit of a head scratcher. I am not even sure if it is possible to solve those puzzles the entire way ? Maybe I missed something ? The only saving grace for these levels is that you can skip over them quickly by running through all of the cards in the deck twice. The story and graphics are acceptable and make this game just barely recommended. There are other much better solitaire games out there.

Very fun and relaxing game, not a bad price either, I recommend giving it a shot if you love solitaire!

Barely recommended, just barely, if on a good sale. Otherwise, I'd skip it. The concept is great: a mix of HOPs, solitaire games, and Mah Jongg games. If that's what this game actually was, it would be a huge winner. But the execution is lacking. The HOPs are great, a nice mix of conceptual matches and simple find-the-object puzzles. And there are the standard "twirl the lock bits to solve the lock puzzles" to move between rooms. But the solitaire and MJ games aren't really either one, they're very basic card-matching games, and depend almost entirely on luck. Towards the ends of the card games, there's a lot of clicking through the deck until you find the one card you need. And if you don't win the card game, the deck is reshuffled and you play it again. You can skip after the second loss. Which is all OK, basically, but the real problem is that you need to play 24 games to collect all the parts of a "key". And some wins don't result in getting a part. There are 4 keys. So that's well over 100 dull card games total you have to click-click-click through, and you have to play several card games in a row before getting to the next HOP game. Yawn. There's no real story to the overall game, just a slow progression through a card-themed town, with a slightly annoying newspaper boy "helping" you along the way. But the HOPS are indeed pretty good, and the card games aren't terrible, just simplistic and a little boring. Too bad--if the creators had made real straight-up solitaire and MJ card games, this game overall would really be great. As it is, mehhhhh.

It's ok, the card games seem to involve more luck than skill. There aren't many Hidden object scenes or puzzles and not much story. There are 2 card games, one is your run of the mill solitaire, take a card 1up or 1down and put it on the pile. The other is a game where you have to match 2 cards at a time to get rid of them, either matching with other cards on the table (of the same value) or matching the pile - and there are 2 piles instead of one and two cards dealt to the piles at the same time. The screen issues are half fixed, the game can be played in windowed mode. Full screen is unplayable with big flickering areas that are unbearable. I had to change desktop resolution to 1280x800 to get the window to fill most of the screen. [edit] Got all achievements so they're working. Still worth it deep discount. [edit] The game may simply be partially working because I turned steam overlay off.

Very bare-bones. There are 4 maps, each with 24 games, but a lot (read: too many) of them are mahjong solitaire. There are no points, combos, powerups or other gimmicks, just some hidden object and slide/jigsaw puzzles between hands. It's functional, the achievements unlock, but there's really not much to it.

It looks like a game that hasn`t been finished yet. Almost every button in the game says undefined. When you click on a wrong card, once again it says undefined. When you open the menu all you see is undefined.... so it is sometimes a mystery to find the right buttons. The game is playable but not challenging. Whether you pass a level looks mostly based on luck than on tactics.

this game was not so joyful. It's extremly repetitive and riddles are either too easy or you can hardly figure out what to do; you cannot get any hints if you can'T find a hidden object and there is no penalty if you start clicking all over the place, the card games are all following the exact same system and most buttons don'T have an interface yet - sometimes you don't even know what you are being asked from the game; overall it feels like a student tried to make a game and wasn't interested any more after some time so he/she left it unfinished ...

There are two different kinds of Solitaire and some puzzles like find an object in a mess or replace a thing in the right order. You can skip level if you find it boring or challenging. You can use tips. Great relaxing experience.
