Chimeras: Cherished Serpent

Let me start by saying that I absolutely LOVE every Elephant game I’ve ever played. I have no complaints at all regarding the games, although not too long ago I sent an email and got a very rapid reply regarding my not being able to play the games because of the new update. What I forgot to ask in my email to you was if this is going to be a permanent problem or not, regarding the games I’ve already purchased? Will I never be able to play those again? Or is this just a temporary problem with a fix in the near future? I would really appreciate a reply. Thank you for your time. - A dedicated fan.

Although I generally am not a huge fan of this particular series, I must admit that this was a very good game. It held my interest, and it was a decent length for a change. The gameplay was fast-paced and addictive. I liked the fact that a whole bunch of the puzzles/mini-games made you use your brain. The HO scenes had variety as well. Of course there were plenty of collectibles, for those of you who love them (not me!) The only issue I had was that the map did not function properly. It would teleport. However, the arrows did not work. Then you could not return to the game from the map and had to restart your game. It was very annoying, but since there weren’t too many locations, I just did not use the map. Still, it should function properly, especially with Elephant’s hefty price tag! My true rating will be 4.5 stars. By the way, everyone, I almost had a heart attack when I encountered the huge rat on the electrical panel. I was not the only one either! So I am giving you a heads-up. Update: Family Mysteries 3 will be released on July 15. Happy gaming, everyone!

Update 7/6:just finished and it was a very enjoyable game. It seemed a bit longer than we have been getting recently, and overall I will rate it a solid 4. Could have been a 5 if not for the annoying map problem. I was especially impressed with the variety of the mini games. Some were quite unique and definitely enjoyable. Just a heads up - rats in this game. Yuck! Also the map locked in Samantha’s room early in the game. Needed to restart to correct.
