Not my cup of tea either, but we can't all like the same thing. I love some of the strategy games eg Cradle of Rome, Cradle of Persia etc as well as HOPAS. Mary

The games I play from Big Fish are mainly the "adventure with a story" type which (hopefully) don't have loads of hidden object scenes. I think if I attempted anything like time management or strategy my characters would probably all die from starvation or homelessness or some other kind of dreadful neglect !!

Sometimes I am in the mood for something totally mindless like one of my old - really old! - HOGs. And I play the Incredible Dracula time management games as a time killer. But again, I only like the old ones!
I've given up on the mainstream Big Fish Games. I just find them so repetitive with the same old tired graphics and insipid dialogue. I loved the Drawn games and wish there were more like them.

I agree, in that TM games aren't my cuppa. I had enough stress with real-life "time management" during my 40-year design career! I play to relax from life's stresses and give the old brain some mental exercise. ha ha Still, I know I am in the minority among gamers, clearly, due to the overwhelming percentage of combat and time management games vs. adventure-style or HOA play. Different strokes, I get it, but it is disappointing to see HOA releases declining in favor of the other genres.

Yes... what Marian said. Most all of them offer a "relaxed" mode.

I also have noticed BF is overdoing it with all the TM games. First there was a glut of Christmas games and now this!

I agree with GuybrushThreepwood, I find these games to be very annoying, it's almost like the stress of work without the pay.
I have tried a few TM games to see if it was just one particular, but no I hate them all.
Having said that, what a boring world if we all liked the same thing.
