Lost Civilization

For a hidden object game, Lost Civilization is a very well-done game, certainly one of the best that I've played. While on the short side (what HOG isn't), the few hours that you spend clicking around the screen is worth the story. And the fact that you do more than just find junk hidden throughout screens that'll make a hoarder blush makes it worth playing. I'd actually consider this title more of a hybrid of HOG and PnC adventure game because it has you solve puzzles in addition to randomly clicking on a cluttered screen. Any fan of hidden object games should feel right at home playing this one.

Seriously? Lost Civilization is a rip-off from NiBiRu. I spend 5 Euros for a game I already know. Did the original devoloper know that you "borrow" his entire screens and settings? I am very disappointed and will never again buy a game from you.

Too simple and over too quickly. If you can pick it up for around $0.50, then I'd say it might be worth it. But still, it's just an easy little filler point-and-click and hidden object game. Even though it says six hours on record, it probably took me less than an hour total to complete. I am a homeschooler, so I often leave games up while I'm actually taking care of or teaching the kids, cooking, watching T.V., or playing Minecraft.

With a gripping plot, Lost Civilization is definitely one of the better "casual games" I've played. Most hidden object games can be quite dull, but this one feels like a hybrid between a hidden object game and a traditional point and clicker. Many of the puzzles in the game are well thought out and well executed. However, the voice acting (not that there was much) definitely could use some work. Also, the game was quite short, but I think in games like this, shorter is sometimes better. Overall, Lost Civiilization is another winner for Phoenix Online. 7/10.

If having your hand held at every moment sounds like a great time for you, this game is for you. Not only is it the most "on-rails" adventure game I've ever played, every single puzzle is along the lines of "It's a cup, I think it needs some water." and "It's water, I think I can use it in a cup." You literally never have to think, and only one path is ever open even on "expert." The plot is a nearly invisible thread barely linking a bunch of disjointed, nonsensical puzzles together, and the hidden object scenes are weird and random. The bizarre minigame where you have to place objects with their pairs is neither executed well nor fun. Even the voice acting is random; only about 1/4 of the dialogue is acted. Overall this snoozer should have been a fan-made demo game, not an embarassing commercial release. Props for making the Guatemalan "wise man" look like a Navaho, though. Apparently there's no Internet wherever this game was made. It's not often I say this, but it's actually much ...

I was really disappointed that Lost Civilization was more of an arcade game for kids type of "adventure" than a real point and click.

pros + a intriguing and exciting story about the search for evidence of a 12th planet with alien life and technology that the Germans were trying to acquire during the war. you are an amateur female archaeologist who try to rescue her kidnapped fiancé from some bad guys. + differently designed and nice variety HO scenes which prevent to repetition + easy and fun to solve puzzle and mini games + nice musics + limited but decent voice acting + hint system and diary helpful + it's sequel to my favourite point and click game NIBIRU: Age of Secrets + three difficulty option cons - slow trips on the map getting tedious after a while - there are no steam achievements and cards - could have been more challenging - no map - too much unnecessary talking for an hidden object game. i skipped some of npc conversations Overall, this is an decent hidden object game.

When Suzanne's fiancee goes missing in Prague after asking for her help in explaining what a Mayan artifact was doing in the middle of Europe, it's up to the player to help her save the day! This will be accomplished by lying to, stealing from, and in one case, actually poisoning the innocent bystanders who stand in her way. Adventure games with jerk protagonists are nothing new, but Suzanne is a special kind of self-centered a-hole. I understand that her cause is essentially just, but wow, is it strange how quick she is to deceive and inconvenience people to suit her own interests. Also, there's a part where she uses firecrackers to scare of some pigeons, presumably deafening them, when the same end could have been accomplished by simply walking up to them, waving her arms and going 'shoo'. So yes, I was a little uncomfortable with her as a main character. Also, the game takes weird liberties with the hidden object formula, which I'll get into in the Hidden Object Criteria! Criteria...

Lost Civilization is a fairly solid casual hidden object game. There is a lot of variety in the puzzles and I did not notice any bugs or major problems while playing. Some of the hidden object scenes are a little jarring and make no sense to the game's story, but personally I feel that is a minor inconvenience. A more wordy review follows below, but here is the tl;dr version of my opinion: Gameplay: 8/10. Good variety in puzzles and very little sense of repetition aside from a few hidden object scenes that show up more than once. Story: 1/10. I give it one point for being interesting and coherent enough to follow. Unfortunately, it is completely stolen from an older game called NiBiRu: Age of Secrets. Once I realized that (it took about half an hour at most), I lost a lot of the anticipation and enjoyment I might otherwise have gotten from the story because I always knew what was coming next. Graphics: 6/10. Perfectly acceptable but nothing spectacular, about what I would expect...

Even on expert difficulty it's extremely easy and boring. Completely railroaded, there's nothing extra to explore and no challenge.
