Sail Ho! T'is Fine is Thee Truth! – Sea of Lies: Leviathan Reef - Hidden Objects Review

I always appreciate a refreshing change in theme and setting as I embark on a nautical adventure full of mysterious intrigues; murderous mayhem; and, of course, those greedy, mean-spirited, swashbuckling, plundering, and one-eyed pirates! You travel around the West Indies as you explore the following: wild, tree-covered jungles leading to debris-ridden beaches that partially cover weather-battered ships; the skeletal remains of hapless victims who met their fateful ends; and an old tavern with broken-up wooden floor planks, hanging beer mugs lining the walls, and hidden chambers within the upper level. It is no surprise that the graphics are visually unremarkable; they appear blotchy and impure since they lack the crispness and clarity of details. I wish Eipix would clean up these unwavering imperfections, which are an unfortunate distraction. Since the majority of the action occurs during the dusk hours, the color scheme is dominated by a monochromatic bluish background, with the only transparent light source being the reflection of the moonlight. You can customize your settings; options should meet everyone's standard. The inventory is labeled and interactive; items require assembly. You receive the teleport map a bit of a ways into the game, and it is located on the main screen. In custom mode, the teleport map enables smooth travel to labeled locations and indicates available actions. The themes of the HOSs are state-of-the-art, and they are cleverly interwoven into the storyline; I like the one where the water on the beach keeps flowing forward to introduce additional items. Furthermore, this developer's distinguished use of multi-layered formats, whereas one HOS with a particular format will follow a preceding one with a dissimilar format, continues to reach a core within my imagination. The varied puzzles are interesting and include: moving patterned tiles around to their proper places, as well as following the jungle's paths to get to your destination, in accordance with a map's instructions. The collection sets can blend in well into the background; pay attention to the HOSs where you will come across some. Moreover, you should be aware ahead of time that there are some treasure chests to collect that will allow you to play some extra puzzles in the Extras. Overall, the main features that we yearn for have been presented. A journal would have been a nice addition to complement the storyline, but one was not included. However, this is a solid offering from one of the forefront leaders in this genre. I suggest this one!
