Doesn’t work

Bought the full game, but it’s slow, short, and the bonus game doesn’t work. Also can’t update the game to the newer version. Waste of money.

Glitches in mini games

I was enjoying the game but kept getting glitches in the mini puzzles. Very frustrating

An Intriguing Game, But Where’s The “H.E.L.P”?

You are an expert at deciphering the ancient language of the Aztecs, and you are sent to an expedition site in Mexico to work alongside the ever-so-famous H.E.L.P. organization to learn about the Aztecs’ secrets. There, a revengeful Aztec Goddess is unexpectedly awakened from her beauty sleep; and you must discover a way to prevent her from destroying the world. The storyline maintains the thematic cliché of saving the world from an evil force; however, it’s conveyed in an interesting way.

The sights and sounds are splendidly immersive, creating a sense of realism that I am lost within the wild rainforests of Mexico. The environmental exploration is magical and lively, as you traverse through diversely and vividly colored landscapes that complement the rainforest-like orientation. The ambient sounds of the exotic birds’ screeches as well as the gushing of water spilling over the rocky cliffs evince an organic authenticity, connecting me to nature’s bounty. I am amused by the entertaining background animations that breathe life into the environments, as I watch exotic birds fly away upon touch.

Unfortunately, this series has been stripped of some of the very assets that distinguished it from other series. H.E.L.P. is lacking some “former help” in this game, referring to the disappointing omission of the H.E.L.P. Fact Cards, a former trademark of this series that added an informative aspect as I learned about historical backgrounds, technological advancements, geographical locations, etc. However, thankfully, there are plenty of collectibles in this game that describe the same concepts. Also missing is the engaging use of technological devices/equipments, which provided a scientific edge to the previous storylines.

The adventure portion of gameplay gives way to some dramatic twists and turns, like a heart-pounding task in which you must find a way to get off the island within 30 minutes before the bombs explode. The conceptual presentation of the artwork as well as the storyline are successfully integrated into the HOSs. The variations of such are pleasantly interactive, with puzzle-like elements strewn in. I was delighted that my favorite type was included: Find and Use (aka Progressive Silhouette) in which you find an object within the scene and then manipulate it back into the scene.

The puzzles are configurable under custom settings, and you can solve challenging puzzles on the harder mode. The puzzles reflect the objectives a player is undertaking, and they are cleverly tied into the storyline. One favorite is the one in which you clear the field by connecting pairs or more of the same colored tiles. Some puzzles are multilayered in structure, such as the mini-puzzles on the computer at the H.E.L.P station. I haven’t found any glitches, aside from occasional touch-sensitivity issues when acquiring items.

Overall, even though the adventurous aspects significant to this series are still prevalent, the absence of the previously mentioned features that set this series apart makes me feel as though I am playing a game from a different series altogether. I would love this developer to bring back the magnificent H.E.L.P. Fact Cards and innovative technology that elevated this series to stand-out status. Nevertheless, this is still a terrific game all around.

Confusing

UPDATE 9/28 - I wanted to clarify that even though this looks like an EIPIX game, it clearly isn’t. The only thing related to EIPIX is the name Hidden Expedition. They are the ones who used the H.E.L.P team as a game construct, and I believe some players may be confused by that. I certainly was. I expected the same tools and team members I was used to in the EIPIX series, but was disappointed.

First of all I want to say that I have recently realized how much time and effort LynxMinx expends in communicating with developers to get these games released. She deserves a big thank you from everyone in the gaming community who loves this type of game. Please give her a shout out in your reviews. NOW, on to my review. I will begin by saying that with this game I experienced something I have never incurred in my many years of playing these games. Let me explain in detail. I purchased this game at the beginning before the trial and everything was going great and it seemed to be a really good game. When the scene changed to the flight to Acapulco I was asked to unlock the game again. So I indicated I had already purchased and after a couple of tries the game unlocked. At that point I was on a plane so I thought everything was ok, however the storyline seemed strange and not following the characters I had started the game with. Oh well I thought, I’ll finish and maybe it will start to make sense. I completed the game in about 1 hour - wow, really short I thought. Maybe the bonus will be better. Much to my surprise, I couldn’t open the bonus game as it indicated I had not completed the main story. ??? What ??? At that point I reset the main story and started again. Needless to say, when I got to the flight to Acapulco I expected to be on a plane as I had before. Much to my surprise the story took off on a completely different track altogether. I had not played any of the ensuing scenes before and was totally confounded. I couldn’t understand what was going on, but continued playing. After completing this new game, which was a decent length, I came to the end without ever encountering the original flight crew I had met in the previous game. It was when I opened the bonus game (it let me in this time) I realized that when I was asked the second time to unlock the game I had been taken directly to the bonus section. At least now I didn’t feel as though I had been in the Twilight Zone. I finished the bonus game and other than this unfortunate experience, the game play was very good. If it had proceeded as it should have I would have rated it much higher, but unfortunately, this is an unacceptable occurrence. Hope no one else has to go through this, but if you do, know you are not alone.

Finished. Great game.

Thank you to Lynx for the hard work.

Only a slight delay in purchasing but went to main game and am still playing. Love the variety of hos and vivid colors. Will update when completed. The update did nothing I can see for me unless there were problems I had not hit yet.
