Travel Riddles: Trip to Italy
Yes, this is a Match 3 game (M3) and I LOVE a GOOD M3.
Unfortunately, THIS is far from "good". 
Graphics were .... ok. I felt the tiles were too small, thus making the items on them too small
. Music 
was quite lively. Best part of the game! No voiceovers.
2 modes of difficulty: timed or relaxed. You could only have 1 profile at a time - that I could tell.
So, if your friend, relative, etc. wanted to play, YOUR profile would be deleted. After ALL that hard work!
There is a tutorial AFTER each level but it does a very poor job of explaining things.
For instance, HOW, exactly, do we earn the gold stars? (You can earn up to 3 
per level.
I figured out myself that there are pieces of a 'relic', 'artifact', etc. that we have to get down the bottom of the game screen. We also have to get "x" number of items. For instance, 12 pieces of grass, etc. to pass the level. You DO NOT earn any bonuses for matches of 4 or more - that I could tell. There is a "shop" but I was never directed there.
No storyline, no helpful tutorial, no entertainment value, no "Italian" anything. NO purchase for me (figured I'd keep the 'no' pattern going
). I definitely DO NOT recommend this game for beginners because of the poor tutorial.
It's actually quite a boring
game and I was so glad when the demo ended. I'll be closer to Italy eating spaghetti for dinner tonight! It just wasn't for me.
Overall Impression: Only play the demo if you have an hour with nothing else to do. Run, don't walk, away from this game.
