Hidden Expedition for Pc

Although I love this series, I did not love this game. I cannot and will not rate a game 5 stars when I feel it is flawed. You could customize settings. The storyline was easy to follow. There was no cohesive journal but objectives were regularly updated. The graphics embodied the culture of each nation one visited; however they lacked visual acuity and should have been way crisper. Inventory was labeled and there were complex items to assemble. There was a marked teleport map to transport you instantaneously between locations. At each location you must collect a key symbol; the indicator changes from a pale yellow to a bright golden hue. You must also collect fact cards, which impart knowledge and are enjoyable to read. There wasn’t a plethora of tasks at most locations. The HO scenes were not extraordinary and it would have been nice if an alternative puzzle had been provided. The puzzles/games were for the most part on the trickier side; I like to find solutions so at least there were some new ones and they weren’t simplistic. On occasion there were some touch screen sensitivity issues, but they weren’t overly noticeable. This game was extremely short even inclusive of the bonus adventure. I deducted stars for length, graphics and lack of enjoyment. My actual rating will be 3.5 stars. Happy gaming, everyone! UPDATE: to those of you who haven’t played Noir Chronicles, it was a winner!

I only hold back one star because it was a bit short and the puzzles were very difficult. The bonus was VERY short. But it was a nice adventure detective-style.

H.E. Series has always been known for its attention to detail (each game plays as a stand alone) and this latest offering is no exception! Immaculate details, gorgeous artwork, and interesting facts. Gameplay is smooth, storyline is action packed and around every corner is a new surprise! I never would have guessed I’d be going toe to toe with a ninja! Perhaps the best part is all the personality they give those characters you interact with....like the one ninja playing around with the pearl and his sidekick whaps him and tells him to knock it off all without a word. It’s just a hoot! Verdict: Buy and enjoy!

This game seemed promising at first. I especially enjoyed being caught under water! There were lots of creative problems to solve, but as the game went on, they became harder, not as interesting, and frustrating. The game play is way too small for iPhones. I couldn’t scroll through my items without activating the map. Most puzzles I couldn’t solve because the parts were too small on my phone. The HOPs were ok, and the story went nowhere. What did the pearl have to do with anything. Guess I’m just confused. Don’t pay full price for this one, folks.
