On to try the next one, hopefully it’s back to normal! ### 2/5 — Unlösbar *2026-02-02* Bei 18% des Spiels ist das Puzzle nicht lösbar. Im walkthroughvideo sind weniger und weniger komplizierte Teile. Manche Rätsel sind für mich unlogisch. Dadurch, dass man manche Teile erst später auf den Maps sehen kann, steht man oft vor der Frage „ wohin jetzt?“ „was nu?“ ### 3/5 — Was ist das für ein Spielsystem *2025-12-27* … auf einmal. Warum kann ich Gegenstände nicht gleich mitnehmen, sondern muss sie später einsammeln, wenn sie direkt gebraucht werden?! Steuerung funktioniert teils auch sehr ungenau. Gegenstände muss man mehrfach antippen, um sie auszuwählen im Besonderen beim Zurückkehren (runder grüner Pfeil). Langsam nervt es. Es gibt nut englische Sprachausgabe, obwohl man auf Deutsch umgestellt hat. Der Slang ist oft nicht gut zu verstehen, Wiederholung gibt ed nicht. So bleibt nur das Mitlesen. Ich möchte kein Buch lesen, sondern frei spielen. Leider habe ich an diesem Spiel schnell die Lust verloren. Die ersten Teile waren dafür super! Schade! ### 4/5 — More Susan! *2025-12-20, version 1.0.7* While it was sad to see Susan in a background role this time, I was still happy to see here, the series just doesn’t feel right without her! ### 5/5 — Great fun! *2025-07-07, version 1.0.7* Another great game in the Lost Lands saga. ### 5/5 — What I think *2025-07-02, version 1.0.7* I really love it that’s what I think about this game👌 ### 2/5 — Lost Lands 9 - another great game! *2025-06-26* I like the chapters! My biggest obstacle in these games is where did I see that lock or item or whatever. I have 25-30 different places and I don’t remember where. I have used my own notebook to keep track, which is cumbersome. Sometimes I use the hint button when I don’t use a notebook. That is my issue, not the game. The chapters are helpful to me because not as many locations to remember, and easier to check. I LOVE the puzzles, stories, graphics, and animation. It is my favorite kind of hidden object game because the object is hidden once and moves the story forward. ### 5/5 — Avis *2025-06-07* Très sympathique les énigmes sont biens et accessibles bravo ### 4/5 — 역대급으로 어렵다 *2025-05-13* 여태껏 했던 시리즈 중에 이게 가장 어렵네요 퍼즐깨면 또 퍼즐 나오고 패턴도 랜덤이고 또 아이템이나 스토리진행 장치도 교묘하게 배치해서 어디 함 찾아봐라~ 하는 느낌입니다. ### 5/5 — Recommend for Escape Game lovers *2025-04-26* I love escape games and these ones are always so detailed which i love. Another great one! Lost Lands are all pretty good. Try Rusty Lake also if you are an escape games enthusiast ### 2/5 — Frustrated *2025-04-09* I love Lost Lands and have played all of them up to version 9. I am 40% into version 9 and twice now it has frozen and looks like I have no choice but to delete the game, re upload and start all over again. I’m super frustrated. Has anyone else had the same experience? ### 5/5 — Great short chapters *2025-04-05, version 1.0.7* While I like the regular long form lost lands games that have just 1 plot, lost lands 9 comes in shorter chapters so I can play a little bit at a time. It's different but good. Considering the studio is affected by war in their region, it's amazing that they release such detailed, beautiful, clever games. Thank you! ### 5/5 — 시리즈 다 깼습니다 *2025-03-24* 완전 재미있었어요!! 스토리도 잘되어있고 한국어버전도 있어서 게임하기 편했습니다ㅎㅎ 또 다른작품 만들어주세요ㅠㅠㅠ 난이도도 이정도면 딱 적당한것 같습니다ㅎㅎ ### 5/5 — Kostenfreier Rätsel Spaß ohne Werbung. Daumen hoch *2025-03-04* Wirklich unterhaltsam! Mit viel Liebe zum Detail. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Way too confusing *2026-05-26, version 1.0.7* Why are things so far apart ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2026-03-14, version 1.0.7* Glitchy and way more forced than their other games. ### 1/5 — These are a waste of time, now. Annoying, and Frustrating *2026-01-16* The first six were really really good. The storylines, it was fun adventures, not frustrating, very easygoing. Since then they're awful. No more Hops?! Instead, you have to collect items in a certain order, or you can't pick up an item unless you have another item that has to go with it to get it. I reassembled the Juicer from being disassembled, and it's still telling me to reassemble it, when it's already reassembled. So Im stuck, or do I have to pay for the glitch the developers installed, to move on?? You decided to make everything from beginning to end of each Lost Lands from 7 to now 11, to be more frustrating to get through, instead of a nice enjoyable adventure. I assume you don't mind a 4.7 rating, then having a 4.8 that it used to be on the first 6. Developers lose their imagination, for money at some point. Also, going up and down 6 or 7, over and over gets tiring, and boring. They're now just annoying, and frustrating to go through. So much, that the storyline suffers because to many again, to many annoying puzzles to get through that you can't enjoy the story, and the adventure that goes with it. Even Big Fish didn't continue with their walkthroughs, anymore after 8. ### 1/5 — Intentional $ drain *2025-11-25, version 1.0.7* Love the visuals, mini games, and story line, but the developers clearly are interested in only one thing…sucking every $ they can from you. Run far away until/if they give us the collectors edition (which based on the last 3 games just won’t happen). ### 1/5 — The worst of all Lost Lands so far *2025-10-04, version 1.0.7* Glitchy, boring, illogical progression so need lots of hints. Such a shame ### 1/5 — Frustrated with this game *2025-07-18, version 1.0.7* I’ve updated my rating to 1 star because of the lack of hints and “unavailable” videos to watch to earn any coin or star toward getting a hint. The past 3-4 days I’ve been able to watch a video once per day. I’m very disappointed with this type of play. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-12-26, version 1.0.7* I love all the other games this company puts out but I tried this one on my old tablet, couldn’t get the meat into the pan in the first chapter, didn’t work. Tried it on my new android tablet. Didn’t work. Tried it on my laptop. Didn’t work So tried it on my IPhone. Still can’t get the meat into the pan even after doing everything else in the first chapter. Tried clicking to move it, tried holding down and dragging it, tried numerous times. No matter what the meat just sits there. I even tried the hint button thinking it was trying to make me waste a hint and still nothing. Only game I have had serious problems with so far and I have played more than a dozen. The Horseman one and Golden Curse were awesome. This one probably would be if it only worked. ***And I double checked the walkthrough guides and putting the meat in the pan was all I had left. The hint even directed me there but apparently the developer didn’t read my comment and just gave the generic “It isn’t our fault, you must just be stupid” response to my issue. Typical game developers, too egotistical to admit their game might be buggy. ### 1/5 — Cash grab *2024-11-17, version 1.0.7* No map to show actions available, hints cost coins, and if you want the option for unlimited hints you have to pay 19.99. I don’t mind paying 5.99 for these types of games when you do get those features. ### 1/5 — Mega screwed up puzzles, tons of programming errors *2024-04-23, version 1.0.7* This is so sad. I really love Five-BN games a lot. But this last episode of Lost Lands is unfortunately mega flawed. Many puzzles are NOT working, at least not on an IPAD! One example: the final totem string puzzles is completely screwed up. There is no way to ever solve it. 10 coins are needed to skip it. Please fix ASAP and TEST! ### 1/5 — Developer is the global best, but… *2024-04-22, version 1.0.7* $19.99 to unlock the Collectors Edition? Pure lunacy. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ten stars! *2026-08-12* I cannot say enough good things about five-bn. Im new to video games in general, but have always been a puzzle lover. I discovered and fell in love with escape games. When I played my first five-bn game, I was hooked. The graphics are incredibly detailed, to the point I thought they were AI. Maybe they are, lol who knows? Smooth game flow, interesting plot, and the effects aren’t in your face and annoying every time you make a click. The puzzles have a perfect level of difficulty where I find myself getting frustrated but still motivated to figure it out. I could go on and on. Im replaying all their games the second time, and when I’m done idk what I’ll do bc no other even compares!! ### 5/5 — SUPERBE *2026-06-28* Quel passe temps agréable avec ce jeu magnifique que ce soit les lieux et toutes ces énigmes à résoudre pour arriver à la fin. Un grand bravo pour le créateur et le réalisateur de celui-ci ### 5/5 — 무료겜인거감사한데 *2026-06-09* 아이템파밍 자유도 낮은거랑 세번째 이야기에 광차 타는거 진짜 너무 짜증남.... 이건 뭐 보고 푸는것도 아니고 계속 몇번을 헤딩해야돼서 너무 답답함 ### 5/5 — Five bn *2026-04-11, version 1.0.7* I don’t know how many games I’ve played, but I enjoyed every one of them ### 5/5 — Muito bom! *2026-03-13* Gostei bastante da história e dos enigmas ### 5/5 — Player response *2026-02-18* Addicted of lost lands series for sure once started to play ### 5/5 — 너무 재밌어요 *2025-11-04* 선생님이 만드신 게임 다 해봤는데 .. 제발 더 만들어주시면 안됩니까?이것만큼 만족되는 게임이 이젠 없어요 ### 5/5 — The best game ever ❤️❤️❤️ *2025-10-04, version 1.0.7* Perfect graphic and perfect puzzles, love it ❤️😍 ### 5/5 — Well Done *2025-09-07, version 1.0.7* So far so good! ### 5/5 — 진짜 너무너무 진짜 너무 화나여 *2025-07-29* 개재밋어요 매일매일 업뎃기다립니다 사랑해요❤️ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
