SEARCH ALL - RUNES Reviews

What an adventure! Heading into a wonderfully drawn Viking village, calming music and the excitement of hunting down ancient runes, this was fun! I recommend the entire Search All series!

these games are so fun. this one was a tad more challenging than the others, but i love that!

It is the twelfth game in the Search All series. [h3] STORY [/h3] There is no story, background, or setup to the game. [h3] GAMEPLAY[/h3] There is one picture with animated scenes where you need to find and click the runes that are hidden. Once found they will highlight and be visible. There are 100 runes to be found and only a few are hidden where you must really look for them. [h3] PLAYTIME [/h3] The game is extremely easy. Play time for this game is ~5-15 minutes to complete the puzzle and get all achievements. [h3] COMPLAINTS [/h3] The hit box for some of the objects may require zooming in due to their smaller size. [h3] REPLAYABILITY [/h3] The game has no replayability, since you would be finding the same items all over again. [h3] RECOMMENDATION [/h3] I recommend this game to anyone that likes casual puzzle games or is an achievement hunter, but only when on sale.

This is a search game where you need to find all 80 runes and unlock all the achievements.

The "Search All" series is a good set of HOG games. Runes are too small for my taste. But they were still very easy to find. The music is serene. The art is good. But there's no consistency in the resolution of background objects: some blurred more, some less. On-screen controls are a bit clumsy, but WASD for movement will do fine.

Absolutely loved the art in this one, would love to see more like this in the future! I thought this one would be very difficult, but it wasn't too bad. The last few runes were hard to find, but the hint button helped with that. Recommended!

Another hidden Object game, look harder at the beginning but is not that Hard! Amazing music, great art! Don't follow the guide, is easy to win! :) Once you get 100% will not count as "Perfect Games"

So, technically the game functions just fine. But the main failing of this little game is that the runes you're looking for can barely be identified as such. In fact, you end up just looking for small objects that look like they somehow don't belong visually, even when you can't identify what it is. Even when zoomed in, you can barely tell what they are. And even then it took less than 10 minutes to get through the game. (Had to open and idle the game to be able to write a review.) Also, all achievements just unlock all at once when you're done... Why have multiple achievements then? Achievement spam.

Very nice, i liked it. Took about 10 minutes to complete, and I bought it at 40% off. Overall very nice artwork and fun to play

The "Search All" series is a good set of games if finding things style games are for you. Do not get me wrong I feel that in many ways they are lacking compared to some of the other games, due to the blend of background vs object art, controls and a few other aspects. However, these things do not make them a bad games by any stretch. The addition of the HINT option on the majority of the series really saves any down sides mentioned, my biggest pet peeve in hidden object games is getting down to that last one or two objects. As with all games of this style I feel the play time vs price, even at the low price they are, is cutting it close. A few games in the series I had to leave them running long enough to leave a review, and for those of you not in the know reviews require at least five minutes of play time.
