Mythic Wonders: The Philosopher's Stone HD - A Magical Hidden Object Mystery 9+

As others have pointed out, there is a problem with the hint button working only once. It looks like it is not recharging after a usage. I have to get out of the program, double tap the home button and remove the program and restart it. No need to reboot the machine. The puzzles are good and the plot is good. Over all it is a fun game to play but the hint button issue is an obvious testing mistake.

Mythic Wonders Philosopher’s Stone has the ability to be a great game. I’m looking forward to their next game. It’ll allow me to have more of an idea of the “style” of the programmers.

All in all, I enjoyed the game. But there were a few issues that bothered me enough to give 3* rating, rather than a 4*.

Cons:
•Some of the HOGs were badly done. Things hidden behind others, or are at the very edge of the screen.
•The Puzzles didn’t always have the best directions
•It was too touchy with the directional arrows. I was thrown out (backwards) of almost all the HOGs/Puzzles at one time or
another.
•No custom controls. Actually, it’s just expert or casual...which is really annoying to me.

Pros:
•Beautiful colors!
•Interesting storyline
•Interactive map (but still needs work.)
•It has a unique storyline twist. I’ve never seen this situation before, and it was interesting to see where the programmers were taking the story.

I enjoyed this enough to be interested in playing the next game they release; hopefully they’ll read reviews & change a few things before releasing it.

The best graphics I’ve ever seen, truly brilliant! New puzzles and just challenging enough to think but not get frustrated…..original. True the hint button stops but the scenes are so fun to be in I didn’t mind hanging to solve myself. Map is useless! Stories are usually insignificant to me anyway but the artistry kept me engrossed. KEEP these artists!
