I have played a ton of HOG games, and I have to count this one among my top favourites. The realms which you visit are extraordinary and filled with lush details from mythology to astrology. The puzzles are just the right level of complex, even the ones which involve some math (and I usually skip those). I enjoyed the story too, and the bonus level added a little extra to the narrative. Highly recommended! ^-^

Game is not too hard and has really beautiful backgrounds. There might be a bunch of items you collect all over the place... But it's not overwhelming. H.O. scenes are pretty spot on too. No crazily hidden anything! There is one in a Bonus Game that has all the objects that you need to find -> gem encrusted. They are all so shiny and pretty too! Especially the cute tiny lil ones... Like the turtle! Story 's not bad. Only problem for me were the Mini-Games (when are they not?). I am talking about the ones that have you do math. Thanks a lot. I can now be relaxed with some brain pain. But even so... You got me with that damn light puzzle. >.> WAH! I thought you had to connect ALL THE MIRRORS! Anyway. Not too bad. Had fun. Got to where I needed to go... Wonderful. Thank you! :3 :) =)

Recommendation : A decent hidden object game that avoids most of the pitfalls present in many previous Artifex Mundi games. Critique : This game should be called "Mythic Wonders: Something is Missing Here" instead, because you will constantly get the message "Something is missing here" throughout the game (I'm not kidding - if you see this message much fewer than 50 times in the game, I'll be very much surprised). Does this have a completely bonkers story? Yes. (But it's entertaining.) Does it have howlingly bad CGI for the cut scenes? Absolutely. (But it's better than a lot of the others.) Does it have illogical solutions to puzzles that ignore other items that would work better in your inventory? Sure. (But they're very, very consistent AND sometimes you will actually keep a tool to use again later!!!!) There are some irritating things that are blissfully absent in this game: - there's no instances of the wrong word being used to describe an object - there's no coin being used as a screwdriver (amazing!!!) - there's no alternative minigame requiring you play through the game a second time to get all the achievements - there isn't a huge list of alternative hidden objects that you have to find to accomplish secondary objectives (sadly, there ARE morphing items that you have to find, but they're very obvious, and there's only a few of them) - nobody is kidnapped or held hostage Most astonishing of all, I don't think there are any crows in this game. Is this a first for Artifex Mundi???!? What this means is that you have a fairly run-of-the-mill hidden object game that feels just slightly better than others, because of a bunch of little quality of life improvements. Instead of a buddy that helps you fetch items you can't reach (as in so many previous games), in Mythic Wonders , you get a magical device that allows you to alter your environment to reveal objects you couldn't access otherwise. Mechanically, it's almost the same, but narratively, I like it a lot better. Review : You play as Emma, a young woman in 1930s Europe who has been helping her uncle with constructing a contraption. She's gone home, but as the game begins, she is returning to rejoin her uncle in the laboratory. Upon arrival, she finds that her uncle has completed the construction of the portal and has gone through it. A guardian spirit appears to waylay her throughout her journey to be reunited with her family member. This journey takes her to different elemental realms where she must both: - reassemble devices to power up the portals in each of these worlds so she can leave - find and assimilate the elemental essence of that realm into a device called "the Philosopher's Stone" As the story continues, it becomes clear that her uncle is a bad guy who desires the ability of the Philosopher's Stone to control the elements for his own selfish purposes. But it requires someone "pure of heart" to assemble it, so that's where Emma comes in. The spirit guardian (as we discover in the Bonus Chapter prologue to the main game) was actually created by their ancestors to prevent the Philosopher's Stone from ever being reassembled. In the end, Emma completes the Philosopher's Stone, the guardian banishes her uncle, and she relinquishes the artifact to the guardian once more.

For a Hidden Object game, this one was actually quite good. Definitely a bit cheesy at times, like most HOG but it had substance, and was interesting. It does take a lot of inspiration from other popular ideas (totally not a Stargate) but that just makes for great personal humorous commentary. This is more family friendly than other Hidden Object games, its not too spooky and has very little violence if any, and is more of an adventure to find your uncle.

Very good old school HOPA. HIdden object scenes not cluttered, but interactive and lovely. Puzzle are easy and the adventure predictable, yet was an engaging game. Extremely relaxing. Loved it!
