Faircroft's Antiques: The Heir of Glen Kinnoch

This game is a bit different then Trip tp Europe & Park Ranger type of HOG's as there is a bit of a storyline and you'll repeat about 25 scenes throughout the 20 chapters as the story progresses,so you'll be playing the same HO scene several times throuhgout the game. The riddle HO scenes are sometimes real head scratchers, I find those quite fun and that's my favorite part which excuses the scene repetition, lol. The story is a bit cheesy at times, but it's a fun variation compared to these types of games that have no story at all. The background music is the best I've ever encountered on any game and it plays throughout. The art in the HO scenes is really soft and absolutely gorgeous.

A nice step up from the previous game in the Faircroft series, Treasures of Treffenberg. If you are familiar with the previous one, you surely noticed the recycling of hidden object scenes. There's still a lot of repetition in the hidden object scenes here, but not quite as much. Multiple different locations and (what seemed like) more items provided variety overall. While hidden object scenes remain barely connected to the story, the story itself is engaging. Puzzles fall on the "too easy" side of difficulty, but If you like these types of games, it's a very relaxing (and not frustrating) way to pass the time.

Beautifully done and great story-lines. Graphics and music is lovely and pretty difficult. Hope they make more games like this with different series/story lines. Super hard to find a hidden object game this immersive/ high quality/ clean. Would to totally buy and play if they did create more series with different story lines in this format!

Fun classic HOG where you restore art and discover hidden secrets. This is the second installment of a five-part series. Each part is a standalone story with no link between them. The only thing they have in common is the titular hero Mia, an art restorer who is prepared to help everyone she meets. Even better if it is related to her passion for art restoration. The game is divided into about twenty chapters. All of it takes place on the same map, which includes several sites throughout the city. The only difference between chapters is that you'll have to search through more locations to finish a chapter. Locations might appear again throughout the chapters, so you may return to the same spot multiple times. Each location is a usually a standard hidden object game. There are always 12 objects to find, including a particular item that is important to the story. Scenes are very detailed and crammed with odd things that may or may not belong there. I like that proportions of various things are not exaggerated. There are also some surprises. You may be required to search for only one type of object, find and then utilize an item to reveal a hidden area of the scene, search for unkn…

This P&C game is a string of hidden object puzzle scenes tied together loosely with a story accompanied by incessant background music and the puzzle scenes are for the most part repetitive and become monotonous quickly. That said the graphics are nice, but there are few mini-games consisting of mostly rearranging pieces of pictures. But these too become repetitive. No replay value and definitely not worth full price. But if its your thing, who am I to argue.

This is a straightforward hidden object game, but it has a story, which is great. If you've played the previous games, you'll be getting more of the same, which is a good thing.
