Secret Mission: The Forgotten Island Reviews

This is a short and sweet hidden object game. The game took me about 2 hours to complete and didn't have any frills, but it was a fine simple adventure to play. Because of how short and straightforward it is, you might want to wait for a sale on this one, but I still found it to be worth playing. There are a few cutscenes without voice overs for the most part, but with blurbs of text that explain a little bit of the story as you go. The hidden object games were mostly fair, I only really got stumped on one of them, but the pacing was good, I didn't think it was too hard or too easy. There are also some puzzles, and these were mostly easy to understand and complete. There is basic music, for the most part it just repeats one track but it's unobtrusive and does't really bother me. The art style is almost like a comic-type of illustration and I think it still holds up now. One thing the game does that I really like is the hint system for the hidden object games. Each hidden object game has blue crystals you can find as objects in the scene, usually 2. Collecting these gives you uses of the hint feature in the hidden object scenes (there is no limitation outside of the hidden object puzzles) but I loved how it not only adds a type of collectible that is useful, but I thought it was a really interesting way to handle hints; you have to at least find some things on your own to earn some credits to allow you to get the hints. And if you didn't need hints, you could treat them as collectibles and just see how many you can get. There is no bonus adventure and other than the hint crystals, there are no collectibles in this game. I did have issues using a touchscreen on this game, but that was the only technical issue I had with the game and this was a very mild issues.
