The latest Event in Hidden City (Dream Studio) is atrocious for finding items, flashes of light scenes are not only making it difficult to find what you're looking for, it takes a toll on your eyes. There's something wrong when you use a tool that shows you where items are and you still can't see them.
A lot of the previous scenes are deliberately darkened, have muted colours, anything G5 can do to make sure that the player has to use and buy more tools.
The number of ads now is overwhelming, the game is less about improving my memory and seeing how much I'm willing to spend on it.

This used to be such an enjoyable game and now it's all about the mighty dollar. I've been a player of Hidden City: Hidden Object Adventure since it's inception and witnessed the numerous changes that have really destroyed the enjoyment of playing.
In the past few months I've had my game reset 4 times and even though I gave my progress stats (I keep a log before I finish playing) it never goes back to where it should be.
Another issue is the constant barrage of ads, in a survey (not that they ever listen to the players) I suggested an icon for daily/weekly specials and if players want to purchase then they can click on that themselves instead. It's annoying when you're using hard earned timed boosters and your game disappears when g5 open a browser hoping you'll download the game just advertised. They also send game invites on behalf of players, which in my opinion, is a breach of privacy. Not fun getting abuse from a player who clearly states in their banner "No Game Invites" and me having to explain to them that I didn't send the invite, blame g5 for that.
They are making the game more expensive by getting the players to use more of their resources, tools etc by nuance & muting of the colours making it very difficult to distinguish between objects, moving the item list from the side to the bottom of screen therefore unable to view scene as a whole when using compass tool. Mini-games such as Gemstone Vault cannot be accomplished now without using heaps of tools.
There are so many broken issues with this game now that should be fixed before introducing any new 'skills' to the game. The current Order's Chest lost horseshoes, meaning club members were ripped off, Gemstone Vault kicked players out of the game after the 3rd level and still numerous players whose Results board still show no progress.
I have spent hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on this game, I do have 2 accounts, but no more.
I really don't know why g5 bother to send out surveys to the players when nothing we say or suggest is warranted for change. The biggest message is, 'If it ain't broke then don't try to fix it' & fix what's broken first!!
I could go on and on about numerous other issues but it's like flogging a dead horse, all they want is your money but hey if you have hundreds to throw away and get nothing but frustration in return, then this is the game for you!
