Hidden Expedition: The Golden Secret Review
As always, I review mostly on the game play and leave the story to others to review. Oh, and if you just don't like HOPS, you can always switch to a mini game to help complete the scenes. I actually don't mind easy puzzles, as long as they are fun. My reviews are based only on what I happen to enjoy in gaming and you might like something different so, as always, please try the demo to see if you might enjoy this amazing game.
I'm really liking what I'm seeing from this new game. The Mini Games are easy to medium in difficulty. As always, try if out for yourself and see what you think. Hidden Expedition: The Golden Secret - the Collector's Edition - comes with all the goodies one expects from one. We get easy to find Collectibles, wallpapers, art images and a bonus chapter.
Most of the time, the game is pretty predictable. Hidden Expedition: The Golden Secret does not disappoint when it comes to length either. Playing on the easiest mode, we spent over six hours on the main game. Puzzles are simple and don't take any brain power to complete, but done well. The HOPS are excellent and varied with some being different than those normally seen.
Yes, the game will be a buy for me. Not only are there a lot of puzzles but some are different and some are challenging. It seems like all of the serial games are basically the same. This game seemed more geared towards the beginner player, as it was on the easy side.
I am playing these games to relax and for their entertainment value so I don't want to be stressed to much with puzzles I can't solve. The Strategy Guide, of course, tells you where they are. The graphics are beautiful and, yes, icy but perfect for a cold and rainy day here in my town. The remaining extras are the standard fluff but for new gamers the in-game strategy guide is always a benefit.
The production team did a great job with the sights and sounds. All in all I highly recommend this game. You truly do go on a nice little adventure. Hidden Expedition: The Golden Secret has a terrific gameplay and an excellent storyline. They were creative.
Many of the scenes have puzzles incorporated as well as some interactivity when it comes to finding many of the items. Music is soothing until something is either happening or about to happen, then it cuts loose. For some the puzzles might seem very easy but I am guessing that most gamers enjoy puzzles that are not "rip your hair out" difficult. The story doesn't get a lot better as you play, you have cliche over cliche with a few minor exceptions which I won't reveal in order not to spoil your experience, the story of the game seems uninspired and It really can't draw you in.
Animation is excellent, movement are very smooth.
