The Dreamatorium of Dr. Magnus 2 Reviews

Not a bad game, as hidden object games go, with reasonably chalenging puzzles. Graphics are good, although the accuracy of the cursor is somewhat akin to using a sledge hammer on tin tacks. reasonable game length at around 3 hours. The voice acting leaves a lot to be desired. The lead character sounds like a drunk, stoned, C list porn actress of uncertain origin and the secretary is a Cockney bimbo who would struggle to count past 10. Worth playing if you like this sort of thing, but not at full price 78/100 Replay value = almost none, the puzzles remain the same

I like this game for its graphics. I agree with other reviews that the voice dub can be better, especially for the protagonist. The receptionist has better dub. And for a very short game (2 hours), I probably wouldn't have bought it for its full price. I bought it during the Christmas discount period.

If you like Artifex Mundi series, you will definitely like this game. Despite strange women voice acting, it's pretty solid and logical. Unobtrusive casual time killer with logical puzzles and point-and-click action. And yes, the help button. :)

Hmm...no. Just.. no. Although I didn't find the story hook to be bad, it is very poorly executed. - There's an unusual amount of plotholes and that says something for a HOG. - Characters could have have more depth, the usual HOG puddle depth would have been something - The voice actors are somewhat ok.. they are on the level of many HOG and that is ok - except the MC who is terrible. The MC voice is reading s . l . o . w . l . y from a script without even trying to get in character. - The important part - the HOG scenes are not interesting or challeging I did find one good part though, should you decide to part with money for this game, sale or not: It takes only around 2 hours before your trial is over. Edit: spelling and clearification on MC.

One of the best Hidden Objects games on Steam. Liked the story and HO scenes. Great puzzles. Easy to lose track of time playing this game. Finished it in one sitting, from beginning to end. Bought it on release day with the 10% discount. I believe it's totally worth the full price. Highly recommended if you like HOG's. You surely will enjoy this one. 10/10

Love the game mechanisms used here. The art is gorgeous and the puzzles interesting. The plot is average, and the voice acting ... oh my goodness, the voice acting. I got spoiled with the English voice actress who's done some of Artifex Mundi's stuff. Magnus was great. The female non-lead was great. Our female protagonist, though, could have been replaced by a bored 12 year old reading a book report and it might've been a slight improvement.

My gawd, the VOICE! i accidentally bought this on both Android and Steam, and only recently tried it on Steam (after having tried it some 6 months ago on Android). i literally couldn't handle the attrocious voiceovers and gave up after only a few minutes into it. i'm NOT picky about voice-overs, in particular in this type of game. They can be as cheesy as they like and it doesn't bother me. Cheesy is one thing, but... But... the main character's voice-acting was obviously done without the voice actor being shown any context from the scenes whatsoever, and with literally no hint of inspiration or drama. It's like she was woken up with a hangover, someone stuck a script in her hand, and asked her to read it line-by-line with no context whatsoever and no re-takes if it didn't come out quite right. The voice director, if any, deserves a good flogging for this one, as that single aspect is what makes this game unplayable. If you absolutely insist on playing this, do yourself a favor and disable voices. That makes it rather bland, but in a different way than the main voice actress is.

This is a pretty standard game for the HO genre, nothing standing out as spectacular but worth a playthrough. The HO scenes and minigames are standard fare, not too hard, sometimes pretty easy. Graphics are not spectacular but again not terrible. Nothing to write home about, as the saying goes. The voice acting is egregiously bad. This bothered the bejeezus out of me, but I'm also picky about voiceovers. It probably won't bother the majority of players as there aren't that many sections of dialogue. My biggest complaint was the playtime; I finished in two hours with every achievement completed in one playthrough. The game was overall very simple. Since the game includes trading cards, you may end up going and playing more to get all of your cards if you're one that collects (which I will be doing). Overall, not terrible and worth a play, but due to the short playtime I would suggest picking it up on sale. These games generally don't run more than about 3 hours for a playthrough, but two hours and lack of extra features makes this game not worth a full $7.99 to me.

This game was very short, but fun. The hidden object scenes were decent and there were enough of them. However, the main character was so annoying. Why did she talk like that? Who ever came up with the idea for the main character to sound like that should be fired. It was terrible - must have been someone's daughter or something. Anyway - the game was okay except for her voice and the fact that it was incredibly short. Also, the story line and ending were really dumb.

[b][u]The Game Review[/u][/b] Game Visuals I want to mention that the visuals in the game are well done. The visuals can be adjusted in the game's option menu. Game Audio I want to mention that audio for the game is well done. Even though the audio is somewhat simplistic and repetitive. The audio can be adjusted in the game's option menu as well. Gameplay There are four different difficulty game modes to choose from: Regular; Advanced; Expert and Custom. The notebook keeps track of progression in the game. Such as story events and clues. There is an interactive map in the game. It allows the player to fast travel between each location quickly without having the need to constantly backtrack. It also indicates that there are a variety of tasks that can be completed at various locations within the game. The interactive map is automatically given at the start of the game. There is a padlock feature that is available to lock the inventory panel in place to make it stationary. There are some interactive items in the game. Some of the interactive may require extra components before they can be interacted with. All interactive items are marked with a symbol in one of the corners. Magical Amulet that allows the player to reveal certain events that had happened in the past. Multi-tool device tool comes with three different tools: Screwdriver; Scissor and Knife. The hidden object scenes consist of the following: Reversed hidden objects; Fragmented items; Shadow items. Some of these hidden object scenes may require little or no interaction. The puzzles are fairly easy to solve without having the need to skip any of them. There is a collectible in the game: Eye of Horus. They are scattered throughout the game for the player to find. There are fifteen different achievements that can be unlocked from playing the game. Each of these achievements does come with some requirements that need to be completed before they can be unlocked. Miscellaneous There are extra features in the game: Wallpapers and Concept Art. Some of these extra features can be accessed only after the entire game is completed. There are five different trading cards to collect. Only three of those trading cards are given out by the game. There are several ways to get the rest of the trading card: Purchased from Steam's Community Market; Trade with friends; Booster Packs and its' Booster Pack Creator. Final thoughts: I have found the game enjoyable to a certain extent. The replay value for the game is low. I would recommend this game, but not at the game's full price value.
