Samantha Swift and the Hidden Roses of Athena

HOG Score: 4/10 Story: Average but cute. Puzzles: Extremely easy for dummies. Hidden Object: Average, somewhat. Graphics/Art: Cartoonish. Audio/Music: Text adventure. Ok music.

Not recommended, overpriced for an older hidden object game. I enjoyed this game despite its age. The graphics hold up fairly well, but don't compare to modern HOGs. The story is pretty straightforward, but works well for treasure hunter theme. The scenes and puzzles are decent too, but nothing really challenging. It's biggest drawbacks are its age which means it lacks the modern day polish and features, plus it is a bit short (3 hours) for the price. If you are a big time HOG fan, then maybe get it on deep discount.

Spiel lief bei mir wunderbar auf dem Steamdeck. Die Rätsel sind eher intelligent für ein Wimmelbild-Spiel. Hat Spass gemacht. Ich kann die schlechten Bewertungen nicht nachvollziehen. Wenn du wimmeln willst, dann greif ruhig zu.

I finished this game in 2.5 hours, it's not worth the price-especially because it's not a game you can easily replay without remembering every single detail.

Have played this game many times through the years and it still is a challenge.

Very good game. Just the sort of hidden object game I like, predominantly made up of searching scenes for specific objects. Not too difficult and hints aren't hard to collect so you have some on hand when you get stuck. Love that it isn't predisposed to leave you scratching your head and getting all frustrated. My only criticism would be that at times you will need to click on the same item in different spots before it recognizes it as clicked on. But overall I'd say I was very pleased with this title, especially considering that I purchased it at a significant discount. :)
