Good Concept, Greedy Execution – Hidden Objects Mystery Society Review

A really fun game until you encounter all of the pop up ads along with the many micro transactions that are required to advance in the game. The game requires you to reach certain levels before certain countries become available. You then have to purchase visas via in-game currency to access to the country, but you can’t access that country anytime you want. You have to have tickets to access them, with which the game is extremely stingy. So, if you want to play those countries regularly, you have to buy the tickets individually. The only tickets I get regularly are for a country I have yet to buy a visa for, but I rarely get tickets for the four countries for which I have purchased visas. As usual, it’s another good game ruined by the developer’s greed. The push for micro transactions would make more sense if they weren’t also pushing ads all the time. Pick a monetization scheme and stick with it.
