Lost Lands: A Hidden Object Adventure Reviews

Lovely graphics, the characters move subtley as opposed to being still graphics which is a really nice touch. The game is very enjoyable with lots of perks etc that you can buy. Not a fan of micro transactions but this game is free so fair enough I guess. You can easily play this without buying stuff which is really good. As far as the hidden objects go it's challenging but not insanely hard. There is an energy bar which needs to refill for so you can search different areas which is a bit of a pain, it can be a bit slow going, but it's pretty addictive so I keep going back. Would definitely recommend this game to others, just be mindful of the micro transactions or you'll spend more than if you paid outright for the game :)

It's fun to play - but it is very up front with the in-game store. Several achievements appear to be tied to how much you buy there. If that's OK with you, get on in there!

Not bad. Not what I expected though. I expected a walking, go through hidden object. Not particularly fond of the energy system thing either. I'd rather be able to play the game I downloaded for as long as I'd like without having to pay real money for fake energy. However, as a free game, it's not horrible.

This game is all right. For a casual game that I play for a bit before or after work, I see no problem in the energy system. I don't like the pay-to-play aspect where you can use real money to buy in game currency, but I don't like that in any game regardless. I recommend this game if you don't have a lot of time to play at once, or if you don't mind waiting for the energy system to refill so you can play some more. The only real beef I have with this game is that the achievements gotten in game are not transferring to my steam account and I'm not sure why. I've looked for a solution to this but have so far found none.

I really love this game, because I really dig the theme. And the whole "lost item" thing is a lot of fun. As a game it's cool, because even without buying stuff with actual money, you can just pop in now and then to kill time and have fun. I personally find this and Clover Tale to be relaxing for that very reason.

This game was released in 2015 with promises of an update but is unfinished as of Feb 2017. It will just end on you as some of their other free to play games do also. The main object searching is too simplistic and the grind becomes apparent quickly due to the same objects being needed for most collections to progress. You will literally be grinding for 3 or 4 items constantly while sitting on 75+ of other objects that are barely used. I've also had missions to collect 15 of an item to then have to collect 10 more of that item for the next mission. Since some are only available from one place that means searching the same location up to 25 times in a row. Don't start it, you will get bored quickly.

A wonderful game to waste some time! Some people may frown at the energy bar (to explore a location, the player spends "energy", which is refilled either by waiting or with buying it with $), but for me it works just alright. In a lunchbreak you turn on the Lost lands and click through 4-5 locations (up to 15 min), then you go on with your life. Same thing could happen in the evening- 15 more minutes of elf saving. This way the player doesn't get bored, even though the very nature of this genre is repetitive. The game itself is quite high class. As you can see on the screenshots, the colors, the contrast and the object placing are very good. This means fun and not mindless pixel- hunting. p.s.: there are also quite a few puzzles, too (9th and 12th screenshot, e.g.). You'll love some and hate others with passion, but they are not fristratingly hard and also add to the fun factor. Enjoy! ^_^

OMG this is the most boring game I've ever encountered. I think this is the first game in my life that I've stopped playing after less than 2 minutes. You literally just search through 2D drawings for random items that you require for some unknown and non-sensical reason. It's as if the devs stripped away all of the good parts of a point and click adventure game and left you with only the worst part which is searching through a screen on a pixel hunt for nonsense. If you actually like fun in your games, steer clear. I don't know how this got "very positive" reviews.

This would have been a far more enjoyable experience had it been based around an upfront cost rather than feeling pressured towards their IAP model. If we had paid $15 we would have been happy to just enjoy the gameplay as-is; however the incessant "buy now" really compromises the fun-factor making it feel insidious and love-less. Disappointing.

I love hidden object games, and have played enough of them to know what a good one is like. While this game has some potential, there is a lot of room for improvement. Pros: Story line is pretty decent. Cons: Each time you explore an area, you use energy, and a large amount of it. You either have to wait several hours for it to replenish or spend money to buy more. The amount of time you are given to explore an area is only 1 minute. This is not enough time to find hidden objects, especially if the graphics aren't that great. If you are zoomed out of a picture, they graphics are nice, but when you zoom in to locate a hard to find object, the graphics become pixelated and somewhat distorted. Also, when you find a chest, you only have a very limited amount of time to solve a puzzle to open it. Overall: Game play time is limited and you almost feel rushed to complete puzzles and hidden object areas.
