Eternal Journey: New Atlantis Reviews

If you want to get through the game quicker, make sure you the map to get between points of interest. It's also a good way to check and see if you've completely all the current tasks at your location.

Fun, easy for the most part, and nostalgic for me personally. Plus, an actually intriguing story with good lore. Would recommend!

20 THUMBS UP What a big surprise!!!! I haven't even played the bonus game yet. This is an ADVENTURE HOG and is amazing! And guess what? No magic! The journal is so good to read & adds to the story and records clues, You will find devices and notes along the way that keep filling you in on what happened before you got there. You start out at Atlantis and end up, ---- guess you'll have to play it to find out! :P New locations are constantly opening up! The HO scenes are very clear. The music is just right, not distracting. Artwork and voice acting is excellent. There are a couple of surprises towards the end, but I don't want to spoil it for you. The puzzles/mini games are just right. I think I only skipped a few, but I actually enjoyed them. Use the map to jump to other locations if you want to. Really, really good story! YES! Buy this game!!!!

I really enjoyed this game. The story was intriguing, and while fairly predictable, unraveling the details was quite fun and interesting. You can play this game in two different modes: a casual mode or a challenging mode. For my first play through (which took just under three hours) I chose the more casual mode, which gives you more hints. The puzzles in this mode were not difficult, and the map gives you prompts on where to go next, and things like that. It combines puzzles, hidden object scenes, and some other things to progress through the story. If you are feeling impatient or struggle with the minigames, there is an option to skip them after a certain amount of time. The story feels slightly rushed near the end, but it does have a complete ending in my opinion. It could definitely answer more of the questions I had on what was going on in the station, but again, for the price and the length of the game, it does a pretty good job of implying those details. I suggest clicking on everything you can, and finding everything you can to read up what's going on. For how short the game is, there is a decent amount of world building. I got this game on sale for a couple of dollars, and its definitely worth the full price for what it is. The majority of the game looks fantastic for its age, with the cut scenes being less attractive. It isn't enough to cause headaches or truly be annoying, but there is that difference between game play and cut scenes. Sometimes the voice acting is a little stilted, but there really aren't that many times you hear them, so it isn't a huge issue. Overall, the game is interesting, fun, and pretty cool. I definitely plan on playing this again, which is the most important factor of a game like this!

This is quite honestly a brilliant game. As an HOG it doesn't offer anything you won't have seen before, hidden object scenes, simple and occasionally challenging puzzles. But the story weaves together everything you're doing so that it's completely engaging. There is a map with action indicators and fast travel and did I ever use it. I've never needed one before but this game has so many areas and things to do, you would honestly get lost without it. For those who are a little squeamish like me, there are some creepy crawlies, just a warning. But they didn't diminish my enjoyment of the game. And also a cat! :) Having a companion was comforting, even as a player. I found myself talking to her at times. This is quite unlike any other HOG I have played, the sci fi and mythological aspects were fascinating. The bonus chapter was also quite satisfying, serving as a prequel for what you will discover in the main game. ^-^

A really great game in the style of house of 1000 doors. The story is really cool and the lore is pretty deep. One of really few HIOs that use collectibles to give more information about the game world your in. I love this game through and through and it makes really fun to play it again and again. I can really highly recommend it.

You don't often get a HOG set in a more futuristic space setting so this was a nice change up from the usual forests of most fantasy or medieval settings. Puzzles and HO scenes were decent with about the right level of challenge. Voice acting was good and there was a lot of animated cutscenes and background building video logs to find along the way. This game has a completely open map through the whole game which can cause some navigation issues trying to find your way back or figuring out where you need to go next, thankfully the quick travel map helps a lot with this so you aren’t revisiting the locations constantly trying to get to the right location. There is a hot moment where you get to see a character walk around in their underwear, so that is another reason to give this game a play. Also, you get to save a cute cat!

I kept staring at this game and wondering why in the hell do I even know what happened in it...? Even going as far as knowing what the ending was like...? That's because I accidentally played it in: "Hidden Object Bundle 4 in 1"... I apparently didn't notice I owned this game separately. Oopsie. Anyway, this was a good game. I dislike the Sci-Fi aspect of it. But that's just me and the most important part of it all? Was the cat. Really. When a cat is the savior... Hands down: Good game! :> :3 =)

Byer beware: This game is also in the "Hidden Object Bundle 4 in 1". I bought this as part of another bundle, and because "Hidden Object Bundle 4 in 1" uses another executable, Steam did not detect that I owned that game already and didn't display me a warning message that I already own an item from the bundle. Therefore, I payed twice for this game. The publishers rebundeling is not okay, because the bundles overlap each other but that is not displayed by Steam.

I enjoyed this game. I played it years ago and remembered it as one of Alawar's gems. Now, even years later, it is still a very engrossing and fun game. Sure, it has a lot of hogs but they are not junkpiles and the items are mainly relevant to the locales(as all the developers were 5 BN who have a wonderful rep as game developers) It's more a light adventure than any thing and is a very well written sci fi story, It has great voice overs and wonderful and imaginative graphics. (plus, it has a cat ..which doesn't act cutesy but DOES give a little help )
