Vacation Adventures: Cruise Director

Decent Hidden Object game, with few easy puzzle games every now and then. Entertaining to play and ok to buy given the relatively low price, but it does have some annoying issues: - There are two special categories you can find on each search map, one is trash such as empty cans and bottles, the other are "souvenirs" that you see the silhouette of. These objectives often don't work right and are shown as not fulfilled when you finish the map despite them being fulfilled, or the wrong one shows as fulfilled. It also often says there still is trash when there isn't. - Sometimes you have glitches on the map when objects flicker in and out of the picture. Highly annoying because it disrupts focus. - The "dialogues" between maps sometimes are cut off mid sentence, or there only are a few words. - The game is extremely Americanised. Some search terms mean little to people who aren't from the US so you don't know what to look for. Same goes for some of the puzzles. All in all, so far the game I enjoyed the least in these series.

This game was originally released in 2014 for PC, and later ported to Amazon devices like the Kindle Fire, and then on to Android devices. I am ecstatic to see it here on Steam! Because it is an older game, well - it's slower than modern games. Your cursor will probably seem like it's doing resistance training. And some of the puzzles (especially the slider puzzles) are hard. There is also a LOT of in-game dialogue missing here that was present in the original version. I'm assuming this is due to issues with the port / remastering process itself. (Ex: In one scene a character says "Hi" and nothing else before a puzzle scene begins). Personally, I find the dialogue glitches hilarious, and the gameplay functions BETTER than the original. Hidden objects are much sharper and easier to see than they were in the original release (they got rid of a lot of the "graininess" of the old version). I absolutely love this series though, so I'm a little biased. Some may be off-put by the glitches in dialogue and the slowness - but if you can get past that and love classic hidden object games, or if you want the pure nostalgia, I say it's 100% worth it and strongly recommend!

great seek and find game keep them coming
