Beautiful graphics to escape into – Awakening: The Golden Age - A Magical Hidden Objects Game Review

Not sure why this has some bad reviews... Gorgeous graphics of magical worlds that make you just want to jump into the screen, good voice-overs, especially in the bonus section with some great comedic character voice-over talent--finally a game that uses real actors! Although, if I remember correctly, the lead actress was NOT very good, but some of the character actors playing the sprites in the bonus game were spot on satirically funny! And there IS a bonus game, you just hit play again after the main story. I like that you find out that the bad guys aren't really bad, there is just a misunderstanding and you work together with them, a strong political and philosophical statement... Good transporting map, nice cut scenes, story, dialog.... Cons are that some of the instructions on the mini games were not explained well, sometimes the screen was not responsive enough to touch, no diary or back button, I was constantly being sent to another screen if I clicked slightly to the side of center. You collect fairies, but not sure why, no reward, besides an "achievement." This is a great game before sleep, beautiful relaxing music, easy, non-frustrating puzzles (once you figure out the instructions, if you can), but mostly just a beautiful vacation into a magical world...
