Mothergamer (1511 KP) rated the PlayStation 4 version of Carto in Video Games
Dec 7, 2020
Carto is an adorable puzzle game. You play as a young girl named Carto who gets separated from her grandma cartographer. The entire game is about Carto finding a way to get back to her grandma using her own cartographer abilities. Carto can take map pieces and put them together to make new paths appear and new islands. The map pieces look like tiles and they fit together in certain ways to unlock these paths and new areas. As the story progresses the game shows new ways to do the puzzles and Carto makes new friends on her journey. The music in the game is very calming and I never felt rushed to solve the puzzles. You can take your time with the game and enjoy the cute characters and the charming artwork.

Transcripted‘s unexpected blend of shoot-em-ups and Zuma-style match three gameplay makes for one of the most refreshing and addictive experiences of the year, with the perfect mix of casual simplicity and hardcore depth.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2067 KP) rated The Puzzle Lady vs. The Sudoku Lady (Puzzle Lady #11) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Cora Felton meets her Japanese counterpart as a mysterious death happens in town. Now it's a race for honor to solve the crime. There's plenty of humor in this book, and the story is pretty good. But the characters are getting stale, especially Dennis. Enjoyable, but most for the fans.

Jun 9, 2018
Lots of fun!
One of my favorite Game Cube games was Star Fox Adventures.
Certainly very Legend of Zelda in style and gameplay with story, fighting and puzzle type quests. Not very much flying like in other Star Fox games. This one focused more on Fox out of his ship conquering quests.
There was enough variety to keep me entertained for several playthoughs.

James Koppert (2698 KP) rated Tents and Trees in Apps

Puzzling brain buster
This game is simple. By every tree is one tent but no tent can be pitched in any adjacent square, neither vertically or horizontally or diagonally. Now you go find those tents. The rules are simple but this will test your grey matter. It's a very clever puzzle game and works so well by giving you a sense of achievement.

Tamsin Clark (15 KP) rated Pixel Puzzles in Video Games
Jan 23, 2018 (Updated Jan 23, 2018)
Over 1000 achievements to boost Steam (2 more)
Lots of variously themed puzzle packs
Lots of customisation
The goddamn music (2 more)
Packs need to be bought
Time sink
Surprisingly addictive
I actually ended up with Pixel Puzzles from a G2A random game pack and left it in my Steam library for almost a year until I saw someone mention it again recently. I expected poor quality but actually, this is a really fun jigsaw puzzle game. There's a ton of achievements to be gained and by doing puzzles you 'earn' tokens that you can buy things within the in-game shop that you can customise your game with (backgrounds, music, cursors, even extra puzzles). The puzzles come in various piece amounts from 60 into the hundreds, and they are often created in various styles so it's not just the same old jigsaw pieces with different images.
The game is a time sink; before you know it you've spent 2 hrs on a puzzle or 3. There's so much in there and considering you can get packs for a couple of pounds in various places, it's a really fun thing to have in your library. However once you're through those cheap packs the new ones can cost a fortune, which is where this game loses points. Personally, I expect to be able to buy the game with all the puzzles, not have to fork out more and more money just to get new images.

Kirk Bage (1775 KP) rated The Keepers - Season 1 in TV
Mar 3, 2020
The second series I watched demonstrated a sharp contrast to that ethos. The Keepers is a seven part mini series that despite setting itself up as a mystery still to be solved, knows from the start that by episode seven it has exhausted its material and you will get your chance to scream outrage against the evil priesthood and the shame of masculine power at its worst.
The power of this one is watching first hand testimony of survivors that fill in pieces of a puzzle that should never have been a puzzle if not for the indoctrinated protection of a few outdated ideas of power at its very worst. The sadness is that a good soul had to die to prove it, and that it was almost certainly not special, but indicative. Listen to the contrast of how much the key victim was loved against how much the perpetrators were reviled, even though it took half a lifetime to bring it all to context.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2067 KP) rated Death by Pantyhose (A Jaine Austen Mystery, #6) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
The sixth Jaine Austen mystery finds Jaine agreeing to write jokes for an unfunny stand-up comic. But before she can get started, the woman is arrested for murder. The weapon, a pair of pantyhose. Definitely for those who love funny mysteries, this one will keep you laughing while you puzzle over the clues.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2067 KP) rated The Sudoku Puzzle Murders (Puzzle Lady #9) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Now the murder victims in Bakerhaven are appearing with Sudoku and Crossword puzzles on them. Can Cora solve the latest case? The book was still fun, but I am getting very tired of the stories involving the main character's personal lives. It's been the same for several books now. Really time to move on.
