A good old adventure story
Lost Horizon is an adventure game in the purest sense: globetrotting, puzzle-solving, running away from bad guys etc. It is, really, the closest thing to the Indiana Jones movies that you will get in the adventure gaming world. And I say this in a good way, the game is still original enough to stand on its own merits, but it's impossible not to get that "classic" Spielberg-esque adventure feeling while playing Lost Horizon. Which is great. Good characters, good voice acting, gripping story with a few very well done sections. Classic game mechanics, there are no silly puzzles or strange design decisions, it plays like a smooth classic adventure. The artwork is excellent, there is plenty of attention to detail, so the world feels immersive enough to drag you in, as you were playing through a past reality that is somewhat plausible, and not something cartoonish. Also a shout out to the game;s music - there is one jazzy track (recorded specially for Lost Horizon, I believe), that I think manages to encapsulate the whole tone of the game - you'll know which one when you hear it. So lots of positive aspects to Lost Horizon, it shows that it was done by people who like a good old adventure story, there is no out-of-place aspect to this game, at least none that I can think of. It is not perfect, it does not push any boundaries, but it is a visually beautiful game, that is also smart and entertaining. And that is a rare combination.
