The lost city game review

The game gives you tiny threads of story, but really relies on the ambiance and strange compelling puzzles to pull you along. For me, I relished my time on that weird island, and was sad when it was over and I had to come back to reality. Subscribe to GameZebo. Home Reviews Adventure. The Lost City Review.

The story line is phenomenal. You awake in a room with no memory how you got there, and a simple note is your only clue. Each step you take draws you deeper into a twisting, turning mystery. The graphics are moderate, but the music is haunting, and so fitting for wandering a completely empty city all alone. The puzzles and hidden object scenes are challenging but doable.

The game is longer than most; I have a habit of playing through a great game in a sitting and that's hard to do with this one. But you can't resist coming back again and again, and while some hidden object games have a predictable plot that you can see coming a mile away, you'll never guess where this one ends up. I recommend using ear buds, because the soundtrack is half the fun. Rated 5 out of 5 by crowweaver from Loved getting Lost in the City The visuals are amazing and the idea is mind bending.

It's weird and wonderful! Rated 5 out of 5 by colorsplash from How did I miss this One? Finding this game and Lost in the City Post Scriptum was like looking in your Jewelry Box and finding a diamond ring you forgot you owned. What a great game. Long and with a fairly decent story. Spent a couple of days Lost Rated 5 out of 5 by sandysamuel from Another New Favorite!! I loved this game!!

For those who hate how short a standard version game is, you won't have this problem. I don't think there is a CE and it ran at about 40 chapters. There were times when the Hints weren't helpful and the graphics were great, but I've seen better. These are the only issues I have with this game. I hope another edition comes out soon! Rated 5 out of 5 by wlkrwoman from Wow I was very surprised how this game kept me wanting to play and with all the twists and turns made it exciting.

The game gave me a good challenge and was worth playing. Out of all the many games I've played on Big Fish, this was my fav and hope to find more like it in the furture! OK, This is a great one-off game. It's unlike anything I've played before and this will probably be true for you as well.

It captures elements of Adventure, HO, and Puzzle but presents in a very different way. What is different about this? That's a hard question to answer. How 'bout this: comic strip like. There's nothing funny about this. What I mean is, each task you complete seems isolated, somehow You accomplish something, you've completed that section, but it still leads you to another task to be accomplished in another "scene.

This game lists chapters and there are As for the story line: it progresses incrementally. I got chills as I played it because the subject matter is scary in an Orwellian way.

There aren't monsters and goblins. The "set design" is spare and, with few exceptions, black and white. The coloration contributes to the "feel" of the game. I think you'll love it or hate it.

I don't think you'll be indifferent. I suggest taking advantage of the free one hour trial. You'll experience all the elements of the game in that hour and you'll know if you're going to enjoy it or not. From what I can tell about gaming experts, they complain if the game is too short, yet make sure to announce that it took them only three hours to complete. I don't judge a game by its length and I don't try to rush to the finish line.

I like to enjoy the game. Hmm, I'm probably not really an expert. I think this took me six hours? So experts will probably finish in two. If you were to run out of points the game would be "over," but you're given the option to try again. The points you accrue can be used to buy hints and solutions, basically. I forgot this was an option and so didn't spend any points. I did lose points for errors. It's just another way of getting blocked for too many mis-clicks in any HOG. Aside from the "purchase" aspect, there is also a help button, referred to as an SOS button in the game.

Those who were "offended" by the point scoring system need to think outside the box a little. If anyone happens upon this, as I did, just give it a try. It is such a little gem! Rated 5 out of 5 by Bonster81 from Worthy of First Review! This is the first time I've wanted to write a review. Are the visuals fantastic, are the mini-games super challenging?

This game was like a great book I could not put down and each time I thought it was at the end, it just kept going! I was definitely surprised by the length and detail of the story.

Also, to comment on a previous review I never even came close to running out. So I'm assuming this person clicked the "SOS" for literally every item. I spent a couple on the "secrets" but I didn't feel I needed to, the story in the game was more than helpful enough and interesting. Highly reccommend this game!
