I consider 9 Clues 2: The Ward as one of the best HOPA games that I have played. Similarly to Serpent Creek, it offers original gameplay (the crime scenes), a great story (which is a bit surprising for a HOPA game) and a creepy ambiance. In my opinion, it is an enhancement of Serpent Creek

A stereotypical Casual Hidden Object Point & Click Adventure game. Not exactly thought-provoking. Only take a few hours to fully complete. Mostly a bit of leisurely wholesome fun that doesn't take itself too seriously.

Owen is back! We are so back. Only 2 years after The Serpent Creek in 2013, 9 Clues 2: The Ward was released. This game is nearly a decade old by the time of review, but surpassed the expectations as a sequel of a great series. I think the depth to this is better than the first game. This was futher accentuated by the phenonemal delivery of the voice actors, there was variety to them and bits of their history based on hypothetical analysis. While there's nothing to say about the hidden object scenes and puzzles, the direction of the game is quite complex. I say this to acknowledge the latter as one of its strengths. However, a few setbacks experienced influenced my own rating for this game. There is no side story, and to compensate for a no-Expert clear achievement, you are required to play it twice because you're unable to complete the achievements in one playthrough. I remember playing this game a few years back and thinking this was more of my favorite than the first one in the series. This serves accurately proven with a replay of my today's playthrough. With only a little over 2 hours for first playthrough and an hour additional to complete the achievements, this game has relatively a better execution, therefore landing a solid 8/10 .

HAII I actually really enjoyed this series of 9clues. Of Course I played serpents Creek before this one yeas ago, so it was nice seeing the little 'teaser' of serpents creek in this one. Recommend it as the story building is interesting. I think ill say The ward is my favorite out of the 9clues series. Cant wait for more!
