Granted, the approach this game took is much more realistic but it still became a little repetitive. I would not have minded scenes like this mixed in with other types of hidden object scenes, especially the more traditional kind where you look in what seems to be a mess for items. While this isn’t bad, it also wasn’t a favorite for me. There are locks to open and puzzles to solve in almost every hidden object scene. The hidden object scenes only offer shadows to help you find the objects, and then the object is used to perform a task, and then you repeat this process until you find the one item you need. Everything plays well, don’t get me wrong, but it seems more like one big puzzle game. The game is a hidden object game, however, this is where I take issue with the game. The villain of the story could have been fleshed out better but I understood his motives nonetheless. The locations are mainly indoors and could be anywhere in the world aside from them specifically telling you “This is the Metropolitan Museum of Art.” The characters are interesting, Laura comes off as a smart and capable female lead. The story is full of twists and turns involving murder, ghosts and even Nazis! I found the story to be very engaging, however would have liked to see more of New York city. It doesn’t take long for Laura to be dragged into a sinister story that is beyond what the average police officer can handle. You’re investigating what seems to be a basic murder case, however there are a few elements that don’t seem very normal.
Once again we play as Laura James, a smart and sassy reporter who also has ties to a secret organization that handles supernatural events. If you want something different that also has a nice challenge to it then this may be the game for you. This game mixes old time New York with supernatural elements and a bit of detective work. Then I played New York Mysteries: The Lantern of Souls and was treated to a breath of fresh air, and reminded how much I enjoyed the previous two titles in this series. While I enjoy the genre sometimes they become repetitive and even too easy and dull.
As a fan of hidden object games I’ve found myself playing many titles and experiencing a lot of the same elements.
