Hidden Expedition: Fountain of Youth by LynxMinx – Hidden Expedition: The Fountain of Youth (Full) Review

ATTENTION ALL! YOU CAN NOW PLAY PUPPETSHOW! Except BigFish doesn't know that! If you bought it and waited on the update, and didn't request a refund, you can reinstall it and it runs properly now! ERS brought out version 1.0.4, and it worked. I won't officially review it under this title, but it was a decent game. Not great! There were rodents, and I should have waited from a warning from Dracyy! On to the game. This is one of my favorite series from EIPIX. As per usual, there are 3 levels of difficulty, no customization of settings. The game was a decent length and had a bonus adventure, which focused on Magellan. There was no journal but objectives were regularly updated. As with the others in this series, you have your HELP box and collect fact cards and hidden symbols at each location. The graphics were magnificent and you go to several different locations, including Sri Lanka and Portugal. There is a teleport map (marked dependent on your settings) to transport you. Loading was not instantaneous between locations but the lag time was only a second or 2. Inventory was labeled and there were complex items to assemble. Certain locations had slide zones which made it a bit more interesting. There was a lot to do at most locations. The HO scenes had variation and some had micro-puzzles embedded within the scene. There were morphing objects in the HO scenes. It would have been nice if there had also been an option to play match-3 or mahjong instead, but they didn't give us an option. There was a large variety of puzzles and sometimes one puzzle led to another. There were games of skill, logic and of course there was some boring rotational junk, but there was something for everyone! This time EIPIX even gave us a super puzzle! What they didn't give us (thankfully) was rats! Note to Dracyy! I know you were frustrated with the focus game that you couldn't skip. I know you can do it, but not while enduring a migraine. It really took time to get it right but I have faith in you! You CAN finish this game! If I did it, and I am impatient, you can too! Good luck, my friend! I really enjoyed the game but I cannot give it a full 5 stars. I am deducting a star for lack of a cohesive journal, the confusing map (too many dancing circles and xxxx), and slight touch sensitivity issues when using inventory and playing mini-games. However it was an enjoyable game and I look forward to the next one in this series. Lynxie sends ❤️?? and holiday wishes to Dracyy, KimTwilight, Izzyoc, Sunshine Susie, Opinion and the rest of The DTE! Happy gaming everyone!
