Lost Horizon

I expected a cheap knockoff of one popular franchise. What I got instead was a decent adventure game that stands on its own. Playing Lost Horizon feels like watching a classic adventure movie with heavy Indiana Jones vibes. That is (what I believe) the developers were going for and they succeeded. If what I described sounds appealing to you, give this game a chance.

Somewhat on the easy side, but overall very well-executed. The story is fine, the characters are really good (finally!). Especially grateful for the unique puzzle-mechanism in the last chapter, that was great! Way to end an adventure. Can't say a bad thing about it.

I bought this as part of a Deep Silver bundle and this is probably the one I have enjoyed most so far. The puzzles are challenging without being super frustrating and the plot/characters are just cheesy enough to be interesting. Can't say there is anything really dazzling about it but if you are in the mood for standard adventure game and this is on sale, I could recommend it.

The only thing that holds it back ever so slightly is an ending that doesn't quite match the very strong rest of the game. However, I did truly love my time with this one, and nothing expresses that more than the fact that this game marks my return to adventure games and has re-sparked my excitement for them. Fun no-need-for-a-guide puzzles, lovely graphics and a whimsical sense of adventure round out a pretty superb little experience here. Strong recommendation from me.

A pretty long (about 10h for me) gaming experience, a rather immersive narrative, a bit Indiana Jones-esque, slightly erring on the side of the pulp. Pretty focused on its core gameplay of point&click item & puzzle management, despite its narrative being action-themed (go around the world, and obviously, save it from evil evildoers). All in all, puzzles are quite intuitive, through rigourous item management (obviously split in scenes each with specific items) and subtle hints and nudges from character commentary. An enjoyable experience, fresh and immersive. As an old school point & clicker (king's quest, larries; lucasarts, etc, I enjoyed the continuity with refreshing content and production, on par with XXI century. I hope you will too!
