Hidden Folks

 Hidden Folks was a game that might have a lot of promise in a different form.

It is a Where's Waldo sort of game where you try to find people in a busy town, but there is no ... rhyme or reason or puzzle or ?? to do other than calling it done.

It also appears that some of the levels must have randomized elements because I'm about 90% positive there was a perfectly matched person that did not match for me. 

This game will put you to sleep ...

Dave the Diver

 Dave the Diver has you scuba dive (shocking I know) to hunt for fish to support a sushi restaurant.  It's a great game with obvious upgrades to allow you to withstand greater pressure depth and collect/hunt more fantastic fish for your restaurant.

But this game suffers a bit from .. over production?  Not only am I managing a sushi restaurant, but I have a farm, a water farm, a fish farm, a mermaid plant farm, a second restaurant, a social media account, I'm taking photos, collecting playing cards for some reason, doing "green ocean" missions, hunting rare fish, racing seahorses, playing cards, I'm researching for a scientist,... oh, I'm doing missions.

Maybe if these additional features had been rolled out after I was done with the game as other ways to play, or just presented in a way that left them as less urgent than the main quests ... as it was, it was a bit overwhelming.  DNF.
