Lost Lands 8 9+

Fun and entertaining

The story is a great addition to the series. It has a nice variety of puzzles and hidden object scenes. It makes the game enjoyable, and keeps it from feeling tedious. I also appreciate that the character is smart enough to hold on to her knife and assorted tools rather loosing them after every scene and having to locate replacements (common trope from other developers).

I did have to use a couple of hints because there is a part in the game (In the centaur village) where I was unclear on the next task. Perhaps because F2P games are on hard mode and you get less clues. Also, some of the click areas when picking up objects or activating actions were very small and I missed them. But overall these were minor issues and did not detract from the overall fun.

Hidden objects behind displays

This is an amazing adventure puzzle solving game. I have played all 7 and working on 8. I love the depth, difficulty and the immersion. There are a couple things I’d like to see the developer change though and I’ve had these problems with all of these games. On my iPhone, sometimes things we need to find are hidden behind the displays on the screen (like the coin display top right). I end up having to waste a hint to realize the object is behind the display. Then I end up tapping and tapping trying to tap the object without tapping on the display (which is difficult with fingertips). I’d need a pen especially for my phone. It’s frustrating. Also, some things I have to pull down are at the very top part of the screen so when I touch them and pull down, I end up pulling down my Lock Screen instead. And some things are simply not visible because they are cut off and I can only see the bottom of the objects or they are hidden behind the displays. I realize this game was probably intended for a desk or laptop but it’s available for phones. It’s just not very compatible with the screen functions or display features.

Any update on the CE?

I loved the Lost Land series, from a young mother looking for her son, to the developing friendship between Susan and Maaron, to Susan the War-maiden Some issues with 8 that are too big to overlook: 1) the Graphics are dark and monochrome. One of the best things about other BN games is they don’t rely on the dark fuzzy graphics to make puzzles more difficult. Ex., key puzzle (within HOP) teeny gray-on-grey detail, & no way to zoom. 2) not being able to have an item in inventory until one has found the clue is a bit controlling. I’d rather a ‘puzzle’ where one has to solve, rather than a ‘tapping game’ to find the prescribed order. 3) I expect the money BN makes from the ads must be more than the CE version. I didn’t want to keep waiting for the CE for iOS, so finally tried this F2P. I don’t watch ads, and would rather buy. I understand the developers are is a tough spot right now but I’ll look for other B N games as a way to support rather than continue with this one for now.
