The Secret Order 5: The Buried Kingdom

A decent Artifex Mundi hidden object game.

寻物小游戏，挺好玩的，要是我小时候也能玩到就更好了，有时候真希望时间回到过去，能以小时候的姿态玩玩我当初最爱的游戏。

It was alright, especially if you can get the collection during a sale. Not much to loose if you don't play this... It have nice amount of achievements...so i kinda like it. 5/10

I am playing through all of the secret order games in order. This was a real upgrade from 4, the puzzles made more sense, the plot made a little more sense, it was a smoother game in general. If I were to start over I probably would skip the first four games and start at five. 6/10

喜欢这种奇幻主题的，不吓人，嘿嘿

Ce sont des casse-tête différents, j'aime beaucoup.

[u]Recommendation[/u]: Another fun entry in what may be the silliest series of hidden object games Artifex Mundi has published. [u]Critique[/u]: This is a bog-standard Artifex Mundi hidden object game: it doesn't make sense, it has terrible deepfake character animation, there's a little helper (who looks like a cheap Spyro knockoff), there's a blend of supernatural and fantasy technology, there is a meta-game of finding/collecting certain objects from the "adventure" screens for achievements, you use a coin as a screwdriver, you rescue an imperiled family member, it has a good mix of different types of puzzles that all strongly resemble the puzzles you find in nearly every hidden object game you've ever played, and the hidden object puzzles are generally fair (few instances of not knowing what you're trying to find) and not too difficult (getting the 'solve a puzzle in less than a minute' achievement is almost a given). That this is the fifth in the series doesn't matter - any connection with the previous games is tenuous at best, and there's nothing you need to know from the series that will help you understand the plot better. Are you playing the same protagonist from the previous games? You can assume so, but it doesn't really matter if you are or not. The main villain MAY have appeared in an earlier "Secret Order" game, but if so, this is the first time he has a name: Chiron, a leader of the Order of the Dragon. I'm not sure that the Order of the Griffon - the order we have represented in the previous games - is even mentioned in this game. Most of the game takes place in an undersea biodome, but it's never clear WHY it's taking place underwater: there's nothing in the story or setting that involves the ocean until you've finished the main game and are playing the bonus chapter, where the ocean becomes a setting for a couple of adventure screens. But why worry about the plot? Like most hidden object games - and particularly the "Secret Order" series - the plot is just a loose framework for stringing a bunch of unconnected adventure screen locations together in a series: you enter a new location unrelated to the last, interact with an NPC there who gives you a mission/asks for help with a random task, and then you move from one adventure screen to another in that location, solving puzzles and gathering items until you fulfil the random task and can move on to the next location that has absolutely no connection with the one before or the one after. These locations include: an undersea facility, a castle in the sky, a dream dimension, and so on. All of this is pretty standard, and feels comfortably familiar to me. One of the few things that annoyed me in this game was when you arrive at a new location and can see a dragon egg and/or a morphing object (the two collections that you are trying to complete for achievements), you cannot click on them (or anything else) until you talk to/interact with the NPC who is waiting to demand that you help them with some random nonsense that they should be able to handle themselves ("I lost my gloves"). Also, why is it referred to as "the Buried Kingdom" when the whole game takes place under the ocean? Shouldn't it be "the Undersea Kingdom?" That was jarring, every time. [u]Review[/u]: You play a woman [spoiler]whose archaeologist friend is kidnapped in a hilarious cut scene where she is on her phone and she is grabbed from behind and the very near-sighted villain grabs her phone, brings it up to his face to see what he's holding, and then ends the call. You take it upon yourself to rescue her. As part of your investigation, you discover that the people who took her are members of the Order of the Dragon, and they are looking to harness the power of dragons for world conquest. The dragons disappeared from our world long ago, leaving for another world which can only be accessed through the Buried Kingdom, which your archaeologist helped find. The Buried Kingdom itself is accessed through a secret science facility on the ocean floor, so you dive down and enter the facility. Going to the world of dragons, you see that the Order has captured the Mother of All Dragons and is holding her hostage so all the other dragons will do the Order's bidding - their plan is to bring the dragons through into our world so that the Order can conquer everything. You put a stop to that by freeing the mama dragon. On the way, you find your friend, who is miraculously still alive, and escape out of the undersea facility.[/spoiler]

별 지랄을 해도 클릭이 안되다가 힌트 누르면 육성으로 욕이 절로 나옴 저혈압 치료됨

After the horribleness that was Beyond Time, the series has returned to its standard mediocrity.

Стандартный поиск предметов от Artifex Mundi, ничего необычного для данной серии игр. Все типичненько и банальненько. Пожаловаться в принципе тоже не на что. На один вечер со всеми ачивками.
