Lost Horizon 2 for Android

At this point I’m stuck in the bridge room. I can’t cross over to the switches. Fenton just runs in place. Disappointing as I actually did enjoy the game up until this point. If this issue gets fixed I’ll change rating.

This was an interesting sequel to the first Lost Horizon. The character of Fenton Paddock is quite different from the first game but I think this is pretty realistic given the amount of time which has passed between the two games. The graphics and cutscenes are technically improved from the first game. However, I felt some of the charm and humor was also missing; additionally, the sense of mystery seemed lacking at times despite the interesting subject matter. Like the first game, the gameplay in the final chapter ends the game on a strong note. I like that both games in the series explore the physics of time, although it may have been a bit too neatly wrapped up for my taste in the sequel. Overall though, this is a solid adventure game with a lot of content. 🐐🐐😸😸

Parts are fine. Parts are awful. There are timers where there shouldn’t be, and certain parts that you may have to repeat a million times. I loved the first one and wanted to love this, too, but after my last half hour of trying to sneak past the guard, I’m just unable to find it in my heart. There are timers where there shouldn’t be, and “challenges” that aren’t puzzles at all. The reviews are not mistaken. There are real flaws in this second game. The story is good, but the gameplay is painful.

Game is very twitchy! Mid way through game started freezing. Each scene now freezes, saving freezes, saving takes 5-10 min as does each and every freeze scene. I basically have to wait everything out. Started around the Abby/graveyard. Saves don’t necessarily save which stinks cuz you have to redo things. I’ve literally had to redo the diamond section 12 times before I gave in and just waited 10 min each save freeze after every single diamond. This is so frustrating, only reason I haven’t thrown in towel is cost and I had back surgery so can’t do much else till I heal. Huge huge waste of repetitive time! Some annoying back and forth. Much preferred first one. I still like the story and mostly the gameplay itself. Getting around is a bit glitchy. Not a fan of the timed stuff or super long cutscenes since I like to play then do a chore then play. Fix the glitches and I’ll up my review since these point and click adventures are hard to come by, especially long ones!

Let me start by saying the first lost horizon was top notch in every possible way. From the length, the scenery to sounds, the puzzles were amazing n the voice actors really made it that much better. This game however left me scratching my head. For starters it made absolutely no sense. The characters are confusing as is the storyline. The voices are mediocre at best n don’t fit well. Most of all it’s the hidden objects n puzzles that don’t add up...literally there is zero rhyme to reason on what ur combining n why. When u finally figure it out...by simply combining whatever u can...it doesn’t make any sense. This makes it incredibly difficult to figure out n leaves you confused with no end to a means... This has the basics n could’ve been great, but feel they gave up on this one n didn’t put in the effort it soo needed. Ugh. So sad. Loved the first one,but this left me wanting more...not in a good way!
