Strange Investigations: Two for Solitaire Collector's Edition

Strange Investigation becoming my favorite series Hope you guys not ruin it like Mystery Trackers.

The main game had an interesting detective “who done it” story with plenty of twists to keep the story interesting. But I found the story of bonus game more fun to play. Most of the puzzle-solving was unrelated to the story itself [help solving an inheritance-case] . The adventure part of this Hidden Object Puzzle Adventure is also very easy. Everything you need to proceed, you can find close-by, usually in the same scene. I liked the hidden object puzzles. Except for the one, in which you have to use the medicalkit on your partner. this HOG was too much a trial and error. It involved a lot of random clicking in the hope to find the right pixel of a puzzle item. A tedious mini puzzle is in which you have to choose the right trail to avoid your enemies. There is no logical solution only and error and timing! A too short game to pay the full price , but I do recommend this game if you buy in a sale. I finished the main- and bonus game (inclusive finding all the collectable) with all of the collection edition extra-puzzles in less than 4 hours!

It's a pretty little fun HOG with entertaining puzzles and good music. I do agree with the other review here, though, that it is way too short to be $13.99. The main game took me 2 hrs, and the bonus game took me 40 minutes. And I'm a little puzzle-challenged, so I'm kind of a slow solver lol. I'd still definitely recommend getting the game on sale, though!

only took 5 hours but had a little extra play in bonus section

excellent

PROS 🟢 Gripping detective story with engaging bonus content. 🟢 Excellent artwork, well-designed HOPs, and mini-games. 🟢 Perfectly complementary, detective-themed music (though potentially recycled). 🟢 Exciting end-game content. 🟢 Innovative post-game object collection system. 🟢 Strong addition to the Strange Investigations series. 🟢 Excellent voice acting. 🟢 Well-balanced thrill factor. CONS 🔴 High cost relative to gameplay length REVIEW The latest "Strange Investigations" HOP game stands out with rich bonus content and an atmospheric detective-themed soundtrack, though some elements may be recycled. Its end-game and post-game collection system offer unique challenges compared to other HOP games. The narrative features high-quality voice acting and a well-balanced thrill factor. Overall, it's an engaging adventure recommended for genre fans and newcomers, but the cost might be a concern given its short length. Consider buying now or waiting for a Steam sale.

This is a beautifully well done game with an interesting story but it's just over 2 hours in length including the bonus game. It might be worth it on deep discount.

Good story, interesting characters, good music. Some difficulties when you need to assemble an item consisting of parts, because you need too find the right place to click on. Will search for other games of the series.
