I prefer the old-school hidden-object games like this one--a bunch of scenes with lots of hidden items to find, with the bare minimum of story to tie them together. Not even a story, more like... a theme. Most "HOGs" today are really just point-and-click adventures with maybe a few hidden-object puzzles thrown in, which are fine, but sometimes I just want to mindlessly scan-and-click on a screen for a few hours. It's like solitaire, but with a cluttered room.

Among the classic HOGs, Escape Rosecliff Island shines for me for these reasons:
- The backgrounds, and items to find, are fairly clear and sharp.
- At least for an American English-speaker like myself, the words used to describe the objects are accurate.
- The background music is fitting for the atmosphere of the game, and even though it repeats, it never gets annoying and the loop isn't really noticeable.

My only complaint about this game is a very minor one. When you're playing the "story", at the end of each level is one of a few different types of mini-games that you have to complete in order to move on to the next level; for example, swap or spin tiles to match a picture, a match-3 game, and I think a "spot the difference" one, too. Once you reach a certain level or complete the story, you unlock only one of the mini-games as a bonus to play on its own, and it's my least-liked one: the match-3 game. Given that, I'll never play it, so it's not really a "bonus" for me. Told you it was minor. :)

The more important unlock for me is the "unlimited seek & find" mode, where you go to a location (scene) and find all the possible items as they are listed, still 10 items at a time like in the story.

I bought this game directly from PopCap and completed it years ago, and when I found it here on Steam, I snapped it up again right away. If you're a fan of the old-school HOGs like me, you can't go wrong with this one.
