Lost Horizon 2

The first game was much better. Had a good story, good characters and charm. This sequel is just bad. A certain character is absent from the game, and the ending sucks. Hope they make a Lost Horizon 3 to fix the series. The series has great potential and setting

This game is not as bad as most people here seem to make it. Is it worse than the first part? Absolutely. Does it have some flaws, like ultra low quality cut scenes, some fade-to-black scenes where content seems to be cut out? Yes, a few. Does it have annoying arcade events? Only very few, not enough to make or break the game. If you are new to the genre just looking for a point&click adventure to enjoy, this game is not it. Play the first part, as it is quite a good game even when compared to the genre classics. If you are really keen on the genre like me and think you need to revisit some titles you have missed in the past, I would recommend this one. I would say it is at on par with secret files 3 (the worst of the main secret files games), whereas the first part is much better than all of the secret files games combined.

...w poprzedniczkę(ograną jakiś czas temu) grało mi się znacznie lepiej. jest rok 1956, a Fenton Paddock musi tym razem odnaleść swoją córkę Gwen. Sprawa łączy się pewną szkatułką, zagrabioną podczas II wojny światowej: wszystko to zmusza Fentona i pomagającą mu Annę do podróży od Moskwy przez Gotlandię aż po Islandię, gdzie cała historia ma swój-nieco zastanawiający- finał co do mechanik rozgrywki to jest łatwo. zagadki i łamigłówki da się szybko i sprawnie rozwiązać, jednak w wypadku dłuższego zastoju można skorzystać z pełnej( tak!) solucji wpisanej w samouczek. Sterujemy głównie Fentonem, ale czasami wcielamy się w inne postacię np. pierwotnego właściciela szkatułki w rozgrywającym się w 1942 r. prologu. Są też sekwencję z udziałem Anny i Gwen( tej pierwczej poświęcono jeden z rozdziałów). brak natomiast fragmentów współpracy pomiędzy bohaterami poza typowymi zagadkami można natrafić na kilka typowych zagadek na czas, dwa fragmenty, kiedy trzeba przemykać za plecami strażników, a także dość irytującą sekwencję QTE nie jest to całkiem zła gra, ale niekoniecznie to czego oczekiwałem

Niestety wstawki zręcznościowe, być może do przejścia z pomocą gamepada - myszką zapomnij. Pierwsza część była klasyczną grą point and click, ta niestety jest nie wiadomo dla kogo. Dla zwykłego zwolennika tych gier - nieukończalna. Nie polecam.

To beat a dead horse real quick, yes, the graphics are bad. It looks like a 2007 game, even though it came out in 2015. That said, I happen to like 2007 games, so let's get into what actually matters. It's a point and click adventure game, and as such, the puzzles are... good. Arguably just as clever as they were in the first game at times, even if the runtime is far shorter. There's also a single QTE section near the beginning of the game, but it's short and unobstrusive. From a gameplay perspective, it has what you expect in the genre. No more, no less. And like the first game, you still get to go on a globe-trotting adventure through various Cold War settings, although sometimes it feels like we're just being shoved through each location in pursuit of the next. Remember how the first game took you to Berlin, and there were like 30 puzzles to solve? Well, in the sequel we go to Moscow, and solve a grand total of *one* puzzle. Yes, only one. In Soviet Moscow, which should be the big setpiece of any game set in the Cold War. One puzzle. It's a good puzzle, but it's the only one you solve before you leave. The entire game has this feel to it. You feel like there should have been more to explore in each region, instead of just coasting from place to place. None of this is helped by a storyline that seems to have forgotten to have any sort of tone whatsoever. LH1 had a fantastic blend of humor and adventure, and while *I think* LH2 wanted to do something more serious, it doesn't really show in the final product. The dialogue is lifeless, and characters only ever have simple motivations for anything they do. If the writers didn't want to retread old ground, that's fine. You can still see inklings of a much darker tone that could have worked really well, if they had stuck to it. Instead, the tone gets stuck in this murky abyss that doesn't feel dark, or light, or funny, or sad, and barely even adventurous. Obviously, this game was unfinished. And it shows.
