Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Mystery Expedition: Prisoners of Ice is a Hidden Object Game with an engaging Arctic shipwreck setting that most players find entertaining enough for a few hours of gameplay. Common praise includes good graphics, creative puzzles with varying difficulty, charming live-action cutscenes, and nice features like collectibles and jigsaw puzzle alternatives, though players note the actual video sequences often lack audio. The main complaints center on inconsistent Hidden Object scene quality ranging from cluttered to well-designed, occasional puzzle confusion without clear in-game explanations, and
[i][b]Mystery Expedition: Prisoners of Ice[/b][/i] is a fair Hidden Object Game. The storyline and the gameplay are ok. As far as H.O. Scenes are concerned, their quality is very fluctuating. Some of them look like a bunch of stuffs thrown out there, while others were rather good or high quality and very enjoyable HOS. The puzzles/mini-games difficulty level ranks from easy to average. The least one can say is that there is an effort to implement innovative puzzles in [i][b]Mystery Expedition: Prisoners of Ice[/b][/i]. Graphics are good. I usually don't like the use of videos in-game and still don't, but these ones.. well, they truly made me laugh, like in front of some cheap production movie ;D I do recommend this game. It's quite short though and can be completed in less than 2 hours and a half. (I spent almost 7 hours on the game because I had to go through 3 runs to finally manage to gather all "Beyond objects" (achievement related), after several long minutes of screening). If you're low on money wait for a sale. Otherwise get it now. In both cases, playing [i][b]Mystery Expedition: Prisoners of Ice[/b][/i] is a nice way to entertain a few hours.1 found this helpful
Mildly recommended if it's compatible with your current operating system. The game dates from 2015, and I see from the unanswered questions in the discussion section that some people have had trouble. As a hidden object game, the formula is fairly predictable, but the setting is novel, a shipwreck in the Arctic under heavy weather and further burdened with some curse or other because someone violated the space of the native inhabitants. So the environment is somewhat spooky and there are a few encounters with bad guys who tried to hijack the expedition, whom you ultimately defeat in a cutscene at the end. By the way that cutscene was quite interesting, but for some reason I had no sound at that point, so it didn't make the intended dramatic impression.
the game had a puzzle flow that was easy to follow. It abruptly ended but was fun for a few hours.
I loved that real actors played the characters! Game play was 3+ hours. The intro video was impressive. All other videos & cut scenes had no audio at all including the big finale. No sound! An interesting adventure with good music, graphics, journal, hint/skip button. You have an option to do a jigsaw puzzle instead of HOS's. Collectibles - coins, artifacts. Use coins to buy the penguin stuff for his igloo, cute! The wheel/plank puzzle - I had no idea why I could switch some planks and not others. Rotating the wheel didn't help. I skipped it. moon phase puzzle - rule of thumb is that the solution to all puzzles should be found in the game somewhere. The HOS's were well drawn but were always a big pile of stuff. I felt like I was cleaning a bunch of kids' rooms.
This was a delightfully challenging Hidden Object game with great adventure and a wide variety of puzzles. The ending sequence was epic and jaw-dropping. If you are choosing games based on the "casualness" of them, this one tends toward a more challenging (and rewarding) experience! Hidden Object puzzles were also a cut above in detail and depth. This was one of the better games i've played in recent months and the effects and difficulty of puzzles were intriguing. The game has withstood the test of time, as relevant today as it was at its release years ago. Highly recommended!
I liked this one. Standard HOG with puzzles. Decent storyline. They tried some low quality FMV for the actors. It works. Um. Theres coins to collect to buy stuff for a penquin in a igloo. I don't know. Didn't find them all. It does have a map which is always nice. I'm going to recomend this one. Maybe wait for a sale, maybe not. Worth buying at any rate.
