93/100

Hidden Through Time 2: Magic takes everything that made the first game a delight and sprinkles a healthy dose of wizardry on top. This is the ultimate 'Where's Waldo?' experience for the modern era, featuring beautifully animated, hand-drawn dioramas that span multiple magical eras. The new 'Reality Shift' mechanic is the star of the show, allowing you to change the time of day or the season with a click, which in turn reveals hidden objects that were previously tucked away.

The charm of this game lies in the details. Every tiny character in these massive scenes has their own little animation and personality. It’s a peaceful, 'cozy' game that encourages you to slow down and really look at the art. With the inclusion of a powerful map editor, the community-created content ensures you’ll never run out of things to find. It’s heartwarming, visually stunning, and arguably the best hidden-object game on the App Store today.

Not that great

Sun Mar 03 2024 Eeeehdjjxhxjsjdbdhdnxjjdhsj

The nighttime version isn’t that great, it’s just struggling to see that is not fun. The biggest issue I had was the game not letting me click the objectives. I had to click an objective several times for it to acknowledge that I found the item. Before I figured out that this was an issue, I thought I had not found the items, when indeed I did, but the game didn’t pick up on me clicking them. The levels are short, and not very interesting. I got through this game too fast. I think it was rushed out, and I wish they had put more lovey into developing it to be better.

Just meh

Like some other reviews have mentioned, night time is horrible because you can’t see literally only because it’s dark. Other times, touches won’t register, making you feel as though it’s wrong and you’re just not seeing it correctly. And even worse, some objects are nearly completely hidden by others with barely a piece of color sticking out. So you click on it only out of desperation, not because you believe that it is the actual hidden object. It would be much better to put the objects on top of others, not behind. But obscure them with color/pattern. I played it only because I purchased it, but can’t keep going because of how frustrating it is to play. Not an enjoyable search game at all.

too many bugs

i wanna love this game. it’s fun. the different night/snow/day/rain modes are fun, but so many of the online games never load. the app freezes and you have to force quit it and try to start it again. it’s especially problematic with the maps where the previews won’t load. i hope the developers take the time to fix the app’s issues.
