Like another reviewer said too many things to do and just over complicated, gave up very quickly ### 4/5 — Good (on the whole) *2024-08-06, version 1.4.6* Enjoying the hidden objects and progressing through the levels. However, energy runs out quickly and takes way too long to fill up again. I don’t like the puzzles to open the chests being against the clock. Makes me not want to waste energy opening them! ### 4/5 — Lost Lands HOG *2024-04-28, version 1.4.6* A fairly good game. Each scene varies in energy cost and there isn’t much energy available so you can only play for 3-10 minutes depending. However, this does force you to get off the game and go do something else for awhile instead of being glued to your screen. Watch your experience points levels because when you hit the next level your energy refills regardless of how much you have. So if you’re at or near full you won’t gain anything except an extra 10 energy and will have wasted energy that could have been used. Patience is definitely a virtue here. If you’re stuck trying to access a locked area because you need an item to unlock it (as long as you have the experience level needed to open the area), make sure all quests are completed until the quest comes up to access it, then click on the item needed and it should tell you where to locate it. I’d recommend it for some varied, limited screen time entertainment. ### 3/5 — Different *2024-01-07, version 1.4.6* I normally love bn games but this is very repetitive. ### 3/5 — Time filler *2023-08-30* Not the best and not the worst hidden object game. Best thing is that you can’t play for long, as you run out of energy quickly. It is entertaining enough that you’ll play as long as you have energy, but you don’t get upset when the energy runs out and you are willing to come back to it later. A game to play when you have some time to fill. ### 4/5 — Problems (updated) *2023-08-23* Even newer edit!: There are no more quests for me to do and there’s only one sitting there that says "a new update is coming" for about a month now. If there will be no update, I will go ahead and delete the app. (New edit: It would be nice if the game would save my sound settings. Having to make sure my volume is turned down before starting the game, lest I wake the whole house, gets old.) (Edit:The developer contacted me and said the issue was resolved.) Fortunately I thought I'd wait to delete the game and now I'm able to keep playing. Many thanks to the developer for the response! This game is a good one that's not too demanding of time. However, everything has been going great as I've been playing for a couple of weeks. Until last night. The game just stopped loading. Can't get past the opening screen. Had to delete it after several attempts. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We are sorry to hear about your inconvenience, we know we haven't updated our old games for years.

Energy based unlike all other lost lands. Stop at lost lands 8 is my honest opinion, the story and game in this are inferior ### 4/5 — Entertaining *2023-05-08, version 1.4.6* The game is fun to play if you like this style of app. ### 4/5 — Lost lands hog *2023-03-22, version 1.4.6* Good so far not been playing for long ### 4/5 — Review *2023-03-21, version 1.4.6* Fun game but very limiting. Takes a long time to see progress however if patient the game takes off eventually. ### 4/5 — Problems (updated) *2023-02-28* (New edit: It would be nice if the game would save my sound settings. Having to make sure my volume is turned down before starting the game, lest I wake the whole house, gets old.) (Edit:The developer contacted me and said the issue was resolved.)

However, everything has been going great as I've been playing for a couple of weeks. Until last night. The game just stopped loading. Can't get past the opening screen. Had to delete it after several attempts. **Developer response:** This issue was resolved in a few days. But since you've deleted the game, you have lost all the progress you've made, as your device is the only thing that keeps your savings and progress. ### 4/5 — Short play *2022-11-14* Still enjoy this game. Graphics great. Wish the play time was longer. In an out to much. ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2022-11-13, version 1.4.6* The introduction was beautiful and the Game looked promising. However, once started it was such a let down. The game has been over complicated, find certain objects in a certain time, build energy by drinking a mug of stuff, collect stars, can’t access places until enough energy earned et etc. unnecessary and annoying, I deleted after ten minutes. ### 4/5 — Problems (updated) *2022-10-22, version 1.4.6* The developer contacted me and said the issue was resolved.

Had to delete it after several attempts. ### 3/5 — Rather repetitive and dull *2022-10-16, version 1.4.6* Follows in the SimCity Buildit mode of never ending story line and frequent offers to spend more money to get along the journey faster. The game has its attractions but after a while it gets rather tedious. Not prepared to waste money on buying more and more coins/ diamonds. ### 4/5 — Good game *2022-06-01* I like this game so far. Doesn’t have a story line like the others that I love, but isn’t bad. Energy can run out quickly, but that keeps me from being on it all day and night! ### 4/5 — Ok *2022-02-15, version 1.4.6* Ok ### 4/5 — Great hidden object game! *2022-01-23, version 1.4.6* Great variety and has various difficulties! ### 4/5 — Good game *2022-01-17, version 1.4.6* Good scenes, but a tad repetitive, lots going on though! ### 4/5 — Like it *2022-01-01, version 1.4.6* Very enjoyable ### 4/5 — Mr *2021-11-22, version 1.4.6* Great game but takes too long to get energy. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dumb *2024-01-18, version 1.4.6* Difficult, impossible, and really extremely dumb. ### 1/5 — Too small *2023-06-07, version 1.4.6* I was looking forward to this game but I could not get to go full screen and the print was way too small. I deleted it before I even got to play it. No way I could play with words and screen so tiny. ### 1/5 — Awful if you were hoping for another Lost Lands story *2023-04-23, version 1.4.6* There’s disjointed time dependent search scenes which are pretty awful from the start. Anxiety producing for some of us. ### 1/5 — Ripoff :( *2022-08-24, version 1.4.6* I paid $2.99 thru special offer and I didn’t get more coins and gems in my game account. Please do not buy anything because that game website is down and not reachable. ### 1/5 — Takes too long time to renew energy points *2021-12-18, version 1.4.6* Takes too long time to renew energy points ### 1/5 — A pointless slog *2021-08-29, version 1.4.6* Sorry, I really can’t see what the point of this game is. What is supposed to be the final objective? ### 1/5 — AWFUL SERVICE *2021-08-17* The game is fun but it’s impossible to play more than 5-10 minutes without spending money and your money is a complete waste. I bought several gem “packages” and they never came through. When I contacted customer service, I was told “I probably just didn’t notice” as if I don’t know how to count or there was an error they can’t do anything about. Don’t create an app if you have no system in place for error resolution. ### 1/5 — Repetitive *2021-03-18, version 1.4.6* You have to play the same boards over and over. ### 1/5 — Money grab *2018-08-04, version 1.4.6* The “free” version has in-app purchases, then, after you advance as far as the “free” version allows, you are expected to shell out $20.00 for more of the same nonsense. Five-BN has joined BF as shameless money grubbers. ***Update*** After playing the game long enough that I was able to start producing weapons, collection items, etc., I discovered another huge bummer: when an item is produced, the game does not begin generating another item until you retrieve the first. Logic would indicate that if a certain item takes 12 hours to produce, then in 24 hours, you would have two. But not with this game. If you don’t play for 24 hours, you will only have one item when you resume. I went on vacation for a week, and when I returned, instead of having a boatload of items waiting, I had only one of each. The developers have to change this. This is just one more reason NOT to invest one penny in this “free” game. ### 1/5 — Not good *2017-05-19, version 1.4.0* Boring game ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Needs more levels *2025-03-16, version 1.4.6* Love the game played through a few times now. It’s a shame the devs have decided to just leave it midway to go do other games. ### 5/5 — Winter Blues *2025-02-07, version 1.4.6* What a great game to pass these horrible Midwest winters. All warm and cozy playing this awesome game. ### 5/5 — Slow burner *2024-09-17, version 1.4.6* Great game, started slowly but is picking up now, plenty to do, just need to increase energy quickly ### 5/5 — Nice game *2024-04-20, version 1.4.6* I just started playing this game yesterday, so far so good. ### 5/5 — Good *2021-11-10, version 1.4.6* Really enjoying so far but early days for me. ### 5/5 — Good Game *2021-06-13* I wish everything was a little bigger. I love hidden objects but at 61 my eyes are not what they used to be. But I love this game and play anyway. ### 5/5 — Lost lands *2021-05-05, version 1.4.6* I am enjoying this game haven't had any problems. ### 5/5 — Just Jude *2021-03-01, version 1.4.6* Great game just learning ### 5/5 — Poca energía para jugar *2020-06-16, version 1.4.6* El juego es muy bueno, me gusta mucho pero la razón por lo que lo voy a desinstalar es porque la energía se acaba muy rápido. Es una pena pues el juego es muy bueno. ### 5/5 — Great game *2020-01-08, version 1.4.6* Great game great story and lots of fun hope more comes soon for I am at a point where I need to do the light house. Well worth playing still playing now past the light house still cool to play got past the light house now just waiting for a update please do the next up date full enjoying the game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
