Persian Nights 2: The Moonlight Veil

Overall, this one was very good. Lovely art, satisfying puzzles. The characters were interesting and the plot was engaging. There were some references to real myths (like the lamassu) that are seldom seen, though the interpretation was a bit loose, naturally. The bonus chapter was surprisingly cute and well made with the most adorable purple-skinned genie, love her. A couple things dragged on too long, like slooowwwwly crossing an ice bridge, but that's a very minor criticism, and that's about the worst thing I can say. I missed one of the collectibles… I know exactly which one, because I saw it in the cut scene and my brain went "ah, there it is, satisfied" and forgot to make me click on it after the cut scene had ended. And of course that was the only time I was ever allowed in that room. I realized it a room later with a sinking feeling. But the game was good enough that I'd like to replay it in the future, and hopefully I remember to click on it next time.

Gra opowiada Historię o dwóch bliźniaczych księżycach które zdarzają się tylko raz na 26 lat. I musimy powstrzymać szaleńca który będzie chciał opanować taką moc, bo dzięki tej mocy będzie mógł zmieniać bieg Historii. Wcielamy się w studentkę o imieniu Malika i próbujemy odnaleźć siostrę o imieniu Jasmin i odzyskać jej duszę. Będziemy mieć do pomocy 3 urocze stworzonka, które posiadają swoje niezwykłe moce, jak ogień i lód i czas. Ale stworzonka trzeba karmić za każdym razem jak użyjemy ich mocy, bo nie będą wstanie tych mocy potem użyć. Stworzonka nazywają się Moonlingi. Jest to gra Hidden Objects, jest to gra logiczna, mamy przeróżne zagadki łamigłówkowe, trzeba połączyć jakichś przedmiot z innym przedmiotem żeby coś z tego powstało, a potem użyć tego przedmiotu na odpowiednim miejscu. Będziemy bawić się w Alchemika i robić mikstury, które Malice będą potrzebne. Mamy możliwość konwersacji z osobami których napotkamy na swojej drodze. Mamy znajdźki musimy postarać się znaleźć 32 lustrzane różowe księżyce. Bo przejściu fabuły głównego wątku mamy jeszcze dodatkowy bonusowy rozdział który zaczyna się przed tą główną linią fabularną. Bakhtak został wysłany na misję przez Lamassu po pewną rzecz, ale nie mógł się powstrzymać od błyszczącej się lampy i wparował do środka lampy dżina z pierwszej odsłony tej produkcji. I Bakhtak przestraszył przez przypadek Dżinkę jak próbowała rzucać czar ale zamiast tego serce lampy zostało pęknięte, i Bakhtak będzie próbował pomóc naprawić tą szkodę wyrządzoną przez niego. Bonusowy rozdział nie jest długi. Gra jest fajna, ma fajny taki Perski klimat, zagadki są fajne ale zdarzają się też i trudne nad którymi trzeba pogłówkować trochę, ale jest możliwość pominięcia zagadek, mamy też taką pomoc jak sugestia która nam podpowie co mamy teraz zrobić, na wypadek jak by ktoś nie wiedział w danym miejscu co trzeba zrobić. Grę polecam.

I have really enjoyed the history, music and lore in both the Persian Nights game, and I think the games are fun to play. However, I have started to really loathe the "hurry up" nonesense and nagging. Please stop, I know we're in a hurry, because you told me multiple during every single location I've been to! Yasmin was a real hotty though ;D! The short story is that you're in a magic school, very unlike Hogwarts, and you've got a really hot sister called Yasmin, which sort of is a troublemaker. The fight between good and evil, with an extra bonus game in the end, with a sort of different variety than we are mostly used to! What more to say? Well, if you do achievements, make sure you exhaust every single conversation topic there is. I'm pretty sure I did that, but still had to replay 40 minutes of the game, only for the final achievement to pop up... Speaking about achievements, the collectibles for this game are the most annoying collectibles I've ever looked for in these games from Artifex Mundi. It takes up very much of your focus for the actual game and story, and it's really not that good. To make it even worse, I tend to feel those collectibles are shifting in and out, so sometimes they might be there and sometimes not. I actually had to click wildly to get some of these, because frankly I couldn't see them! This game is more worth your money, as it's twice as long as the first! Still, I would recommend playing both of the games. In fact the first one might have been better, even though it's shorter.

An average hidden object game that is animated and voice acted. Compared to its predecessor, this game shows some improvements but also some regression. Graphics are mostly OK; however, it is not as good as it was in the previous episode. Also, the complexity and quality of the artwork seems to decrease with the progression of the game. Sounds and music are fine. The quality of the voice acting is average. The audio for several lines seems to be missing. The story is generic, nothing special. It is also not connected to the previous entry. The hidden object scenes and puzzles are decent, introducing the little creatures as reusable tools was a good addition. However, several of the item descriptions are strange or straight up faulty (skull for a goblet or vase). Some of the objectives are confusing and are hard to follow. The map is set up pretty strangely and is more confusing than helpful. There is one set of collectibles but this time they are much easier to spot. Also, the sign showing whether the collectible has already been found at the location is still available. There is a bonus story that connects this entry to the first episode.

Sehr schönes, anspruchsvolles Spiel!! Schöne Geschichte, wunderschöne Orte, tolle Musik, nette Charaktere. Einige Minispiele fand ich sehr schwer, diese werden auch teilweise nicht erklärt, man muss selbst drauf kommen. Ich habe selten so oft den Tipp benutzt. Ich werde das Spiel auf jeden Fall noch mehrmals spielen. Dieser erste Durchgang war streckenweise etwas chaotisch,😉😁 Trotzdem, es gefällt mir sehr.👍🏻

I have played through so many bad or repetetive hidden object adventure games lately that this game was a breath of fresh air. The previous entry in the series, Persian Nights: Sands of Wonder was an adventure game spin on the prince of persia series, but had a very unique feel to it to all the other artifex mundi games, and buried within it was a deep chunk of lore. This game expands upon the lore of the fantasy world named Persia, this time around talking about how magician's lose their power once every 26 years during the double full moon, and that's how they started creating all of the magical constructs, so that they wouldn't be powerless during a double full moon. It the deepest lore I've found for a hidden object game, and actually seems to be a fully fleshed out fantasy world. I didn't feel like any of the situations in the game were shoehorned in, and the narrative of the game flowed naturally. A lot of these hidden object games have nonsensical plots or plots that go nowhere, bland boring worlds, or forgettable characters, but this game has both a solid plot, interesting world, and memorable characters. The bonus chapter for this game is actually a team up of one of the side characters of this game with my favorite side character from the first game, the djinn Mina. This game also had fun mechanics, unique from other Artifex Mundi games. Returning from the first game, is the ability to switch temporarily to one of your companions perspectives to solve some puzzles. This was used a LOT in the first game, but not as much in this one. The other mechanic is your elemental pets. You have to find sources to 'feed' the pet, so that you can use the pet to solve other puzzles. They're adorable little critters and it was a nice addition that had me constantly trying to keep the pets fed and happy so I could solve puzzles. It had me thinking outside the normal Artifex Mundi box for a bit. Highly recommend this game and its predecessor. The game also hints that they are going to make a third, but it was 2 years between the first two games and 3 years since this one, so I'm not sure they will revisit the series or not.

Okay for a casual HOG player, not the most straightforward scene solving but the story was fine with some cheesy voice acting. Bakhtak was cool.
