What's Not To Love About Awakening?
Admittedly I am the number one fan of the Awakening series, so naturally I was super excited to be able to play a never ending game. Queen Sophia has left me in charge of the Kingdom, presumably because of my fan status lol! Basically you are given quests, you accept them and get rewarded with money, or resources. When you upgrade buildings you have to wait or pay with elusive crystals to speed up the process. The Hidden object scenes are easy but fun and you do have to re-visit the scenes 5 times each. There are a bunch of things you have to do in between and it does tend to make the game a bit confusing. At this point in the game I cannot go to a HOS because my energy is low and the store is locked with every energy source so after this review I need to figure that predicament out. If I had any complaints there would only be two, the fact that you have to find the same items over and over and a hint button to tell me what to do now would be nice!

One of the Best FTP Games Out There!
This is an amazing FTP game based on one of our all time favorite HO game series. It was created by the same folks that created Antique Road Trip: American Dreamin', BoomZap. If you are a fan of that FTP game, then you will adore this one. This game has none of the awful glitches that have plagued American Dreamin. I have been playing this as a sneak peak for a week or so and am at level 25 now. It is so much fun. I hope you enjoy as much as I have. I have spent a few real dollars on this game because I have been enjoying myself so much. You don't have to spend anything at all, but it does make leveling easier if you can afford to do so

what a beautiful game!
Thought it's new game game from the famous Awakening series, but have been surprised - it's a new free hidden object game on Big fish games.
Because I love this series I've desided to try, but I'm not a fan of this kind of free games. And this is the defenitely the best free hidden object game so far.
Actually the game mechanic is absolutely similar to others, same objects, same puzzles, on the middle level of challenge, they are OK, some are really fun, but the art style is on the high level, this is buy me :-) Gorgeous fantasy world!
As for the story, all is clear-you can help to repair destroyed kingdom. There a lot of different puzzles and mini-games and, of-course, hidden object. Good game for play time-to time.

Nostalgia for the Awakening fan!
If you like the Awakening game series, then I strongly suggest you give this a try. It's complete nostalgia for anyone who's followed Sophia's journey from the Dreamless Castle to Moonfell Wood to Goblin Kingdom to Skyward Castle and to Sunhook Spire. It revisits locations from all these games, bringing back familiar characters, and using the same gorgeous music and scenery.
However, Sophia isn't present in this game -- instead you get to see the day-to-day lives of the citizens, which makes you feel like you're living in the kingdom! I love the variety of mini-games, which were borrowed from the previous Awakenings - such as Tangram, Glass jigsaws, and Picross, plus an adorable animal quick-find game which was new to me. The mini-games are a fast way to earn experience points, so I use them for leveling up quickly rather than buying energy.
I heard that Boomzap is continuing to develop the HOPA series with Sophia in it -- and the story there will be completely separate from this one. So you won't be missing out on Sophia's story if you skip Kingdoms. But if you consider yourself a true Awakening fan, at least give the developers a chance and try out what they made. To me, it serves as a very pleasant distraction, and a relaxing way to bide my time while waiting for the next Awakening HOPA.
I was very critical of the Free-to-Play model as well, but after trying it out, I realized it's not really the money-grabbing scheme that others are labeling it to be. Sure, it's only free-to-play for the first few levels, and then after that, you have to wait-to-play. But why rush through it? It's actually healthy that this type of game forces us to take breaks. And besides, I don't want to get to the end yet. :)
