Mythic Wonders: The Philosopher's Stone HD - A Magical Hidden Object Mystery Reviews

Shows promise, but...

Opinion02122

I just played to free sample. The map allows you to teleport and shows you all the locations you have been to, but gives no hints as to where you should go. The hint is okay, but you have to keep hitting it to find your next move. Most of the moves have no logic to them, but a few do. The game is confusing to me. In most instances, I had no idea what I was supposed to do until the hint told me to. The HO scenes were odd. Some were in lists, which I prefer, some were pictures, and some were a number of items to find. Trying to find some of the items was pure luck, sometimes too easy because they vibrated to catch your attention. Etc.all in all, the game needs some work. I'm disappointed because I'm boycotting all games that have no free play. I won't buy some completely unknown game, only to find I hated it. I'm so disappointed with Big Fish. It's new owners are ruining a once great gaming company. Second time through, a year or more later, and I find this game more annoying. The artwork is rather blurred and trying to find items is very difficult if you can’t identify them. The worst wast the HO scene with flowers. The items are minuscule and ill defined. And the map is useless. Trying to see morphing items in a scene with unified items is ridiculous. So sad. It could have been good, I think.

Strong basis!

Mythic Wonders Philosopher’s Stone has the ability to be a great game. I’m looking forward to their next game. It’ll allow me to have more of an idea of the “style” of the programmers. All in all, I enjoyed the game. But there were a few issues that bothered me enough to give 3* rating, rather than a 4*. Cons: •Some of the HOGs were badly done. Things hidden behind others, or are at the very edge of the screen. •The Puzzles didn’t always have the best directions •It was too touchy with the directional arrows. I was thrown out (backwards) of almost all the HOGs/Puzzles at one time or another. •No custom controls. Actually, it’s just expert or casual...which is really annoying to me. Pros: •Beautiful colors! •Interesting storyline •Interactive map (but still needs work.) •It has a unique storyline twist. I’ve never seen this situation before, and it was interesting to see where the programmers were taking the story. I enjoyed this enough to be interested in playing the next game they release; hopefully they’ll read reviews & change a few things before releasing it.

Very interesting concepts and art work.

Hint button doesn’t work

Name taken.......

The hint button only worked if you quit the game and restarted it. Then it only worked once. The order of the game guide did not sync with the game. Complaints about the hint button go back two years. I should have read the reviews before I got the game. Obviously the creator didn’t make any attempt to correct this after all that time.

I already purchase this game. As a matter of fact all the games that coming out, I buy it at once without even trying your trials. I do appreciate if you keep your word that once we purchase the game I can keep it forever. Please give my game that I already purchased.

Tiny objects and overall boring

Barely made it through the free portion.

Too much blind tapping for items that are not in the least visible (to my old eyes). Slow to react to scene changes although i appreciated the teleporting map and quick recharge of the hints. Not buying though

Not a keeper

Very boring. Hint button doesn't work. Could not finish the bonus game even with the help of the guide (that darn little vial for the dew was impossible to find).

Bought it!

Decided after a short whole it was worth a purchase. Thanks for the sale price", 25%off.

Ugh!

This is by far the worst game ever! The hint button doesn't work. When I go to access the map, it doesn't tell me what places that tasks are to be done. It just says "You are here" and "Undiscovered." I gave up before I finished the trial. I definitely won't be purchasing this game even if it is on sale. Zero stars if I could.
