The story is pretty straight forward and most of it is set in a fantasy world.The presentation is well done. Just the quality of the videos and the voice acting is sub par. Both don't affect the game much though and the graphics are just beautiful. The music suits the setting and doesn't get annoying.Some of the puzzles\/minigames are way too easy and only consist of matching shapes and\/or colors. The achievements in this game are also aimed at a *very* casual audience. The inventory based puzzles are much better though and they easily outweigh the weaker aspects of the game.The bonus chapter seems a bit rushed though with a lot of 'find x similar items to use in the next minigame' puzzles. Still the artwork and also the story make it worth at least one playthrough.Overall another fun casual adventure game that you can sink a couple of hours in.. Really enjoyed the game, love this series.. I've played a lot of Hidden Object games and Artiflex Mundi are normally some of the best. This, however, is a really sloppy example of the genre. The backgrounds are nice, the ideas for locations are good too, and thank goodness for once they haven't done the stupid swapping the two rings of beads puzzle which seems to be ubiquitous in so many of their games.My praise for this game ends there, however. The animations are sloppy - characters stand as stone while their mouths flap open and closed like recently hooked kippers. The story is so boring and derivative that I couldn't even tell you what it was. Blah blah blah save the land blah blah restore order blah blah destroy some artefacts... The hidden object scenes are dull, and many of the items you find are nonsensical. Some of the puzzles aren't puzzles either - anyone having fun while clicking on a piece to move it from one coloured square using the 'clues' which give you the colour of the next square you click on?A disappointing addition to the genre.. The puzzles can be quite repetitive sometimes, but I liked this sequel. It\u2019s definitely worth getting it if it\u2019s on a sale or a bundle. It\u2019s a direct sequel to the second game, so if you want to understand things better you should play Masked Intent first. I also found this sequel slightly better than Masked Intent. It also shares the same \u201cproblem\u201d too: the \u201cin game\u201d art is amazing, but the cutscenes are in a terrible quality.5\/10.. Average hidden-object game.Not bad, not good.Story is so-so.Long enough but a tad boring.. This was another disappointing hidden object game. The story is over in just 4 hours and that includes the bonus round. Not worth more than 0.99 cents. Looks good, but the story was not that interesting.. I liked both the time travel and nature aspects.. A meh "HOG adventure" which continunes a storyline that has already been played out in the first two games. It really feels like the developers phoned this one in.Nice graphics and sound.Way way way too many minigames. If you really like sliding-tile minigames, this is your game right here. So many.Far too few hidden object puzzles. All were astonishingly trivial to solve.I don't really bother trying to find all of the collectibles in this sort of game, but still managed to get all of them without any effort. They were pretty obvious. Painfully obvious in some scenes, like, hey, there's the collectible sitting right next to an object you need, big and bright as anything. (EDIT: Whoops, I apparently missed one golden dragon. So I got almost all of them without trying.)There are some major logic and sequencing holes in the run-around-collecting-and-using-stuff part of the game.The little helper-griffin was cute. And mostly integrated, though he could have been replaced by a pole with a hook on the end (which the protagonist has at one point).. some challenging puzzels, ok story line, graphics could of been better.. In our last episode, Sarah recovered an ancient scepter to negate the power of an ancient mask. In this game, Sarah must figure out how to contain the power of both artifacts, as they become unstable and threaten her father, her friends, and basically the entire world.Travel with Sarah as she goes back in time to learn more about these artifacts in her quest to figure out what to do. Solve hidden object puzzles, solve basic family squabbles, and save ancient kingdoms all while looking styling and showing your vocabulary skills.I recommend "The Secret Order 3: Ancient Times" to everyone who likes hidden object puzzles.
