HOG = Hidden Object Game ^__^

What Viking setting/related/themed games are in the catalogue? There's Volgarr and the forthcoming Mount & Blade DLC, but are there any others?

Let's start with the freebies, shall we?

Mystery Case Files: Ravenhearst and Fairway Solitaire:

MCF: Ravenhearst is a straight HOG, but is the beginning of the Ravenhearst-themed games. I did not like the look of this one AT ALL when I first saw it, but the story was compelling, and I'm glad to have been able to see the roots of the Ravenhearst saga. There are a lot of HOG scenes, interspersed with the now-famous door-lock puzzles, as well as finding new pieces of the story and jigsaw minis.

Fairway is a completely addictive solitaire game. If you need any help understanding the scoring, let me know -- I have it all typed out in my review ^__^

Linking to the PC version, but you can get both PC and Mac for free if you wish :D

Now, for recommendations, do you want ones that are only available on Steam, or do you want recommendations for Big Fish, too?

The Banner Saga!

Rune Classic. Was about to say no, but then I remembered that one.

I'm sure I've seen others but I can't find them right now.

Edit: I need to learn to read OPs better. :/

Woah, thanks. I already have Rune Classic, and The Banner Saga and new M&B Viking Invasion are wishlisted. Didn't think about Settlers 4, but it looks good. Has anyone had experience of Settlers games - which one is best?

If you didn't see my edit in the previous post:

As viking as it gets. ;)

Yeah, if its that Viking we could have a winner... Investigation time. Have you played it?

Not yet.

Thanks genkicolleen! A good start. Personally, I'm only interested in the ones I can get DRM-free, as you might expect. :)

Aarrghhh, I HATE these things!

I don't mind the ones where the screens don't look like a bomb went off in a junk shop (the Drawn series springs to mind and the Tiny Bang Story was fairly fun) but mostly I find them extremely boring. Some of them have some interesting puzzles in between the hidden object parts but as much as I've tried, I just can't bring myself to sit through one of these games.

It looks well liked, a Settlers with a similar cartoon feel but more depth. I love playing god with the little people, getting them to do all sorts of stuff, keeping them busy, doing a little pillaging along the way. Methinks this one is a definite contender.
