Lost Horizon 2

I can not recommend this game at all, it's a sad and poor excuse of a sequel to a decent game.
I have all the Secret Files games from this studio and both LH 1 & 2 and out of all of them LH2 is the worst.
And yes this game can easily be completed within 3-4 hours.

I'm not a huge fan of the Lost Horizon series to begin with. I've seen too many times the LH games get compared to the Secret Files series and that can't be farther from the truth really... Especially in the case of this game.

This story is a continuation of the first game- with Fenton and now his daughter Gwen.
I know Fenton is older but they stripped his character of what he once was, now he's more serious.
A lot of the change is poor writing but more or less because Kim was tired of him-
Kim isn't in this game, her and Fenton are married yet not together in this one because she was tired of how he was so she left. She gets mentioned, but doesn't show up at all.

A lot of the charm and heart for this series is in the first game, from the characters to even the writing, and the puzzles.
I'm unsure what happened to this game but it's legit not the same.

There are bugs kinda riddled everywhere.
Playing this game it felt more.... like it was rushed or was forced to be 'finished' so to speak. maybe a very low budget.
Puzzles are anywhere from easy to hard, so it's mixed pretty well.
The graphics are...... wonky. Some of the graphics are ok, while others are worse... But to be honest after Secret Files 1 & 2 the graphic quality did start dropping.
They tried to do new things with this game too, which is where I think a lot of the downfall is.
The QTE's were a bad addition, like with the infamous motorcycle chase.

I wanted to like the game, especially being a sequel by Animation Arts, but this falls so short. It really should've been a completely different game.

Short, buggy and both too easy and too hard at the same time. Most of the puzzles were ridiculously easy, while some of the item interactions were ridiculous. Had to triage the game to get it to work right, but I am not sure it was worth the effort. Even at a reduced price I would not recommend.

I liked the sequel. Cool ending. The only thing missing here was Kim.

This game is full of bugs, the motor bike chase is almost impossible to beat, the phone in Keosslers house wont work, can't get much further. This game is a waste of money.

I didn't think it was as bad as some of the reviews had said. There were a few puzzles that could've used a bit more of a hint to solve but overall it was good.

not good

1+1= 2 GG THIS GAME HAVE HARD PUZZILE BRO

A shallow, unpolished, unfinished sequel that pesters you with unnecessary quick-time events that have no place in a point & click game, as well as some extremely annoying mechanical puzzles. The decent voice acting and some truly stunning settings cannot salvage this obviously rushed (and fairly short) sequel. Worth it only if you get it for a euro or so.

Solid game. Story had some holes from my point of view. Especially towards the end
There were a few action sequences that were more annoying than fun.

If you have a high powered GPU and are using windows 10 I would not recommend getting this game, unless you want to risk having a Fire in your PC!
Even if you set the game's Graphics perimeters to low; soon as you get into the main menu goes over 1100 FPS, 4000+ FPS if set to high. Thankfully I have customised my GPU cooling settings, having had 2 catch fire with other games.

As the game stands there is no FPS limiter in the game, and even if you use the GPU software the game overrights the FPS limiter to unlimited.

When in the options menu the FPS drops to a steady 125 FPS (Which is still to high for many cards, that have not set the cooling to maximum before the cards reach 50^C if left to default some cards like the AMD Radeon RX 6xxx XT series the cooling doesn't come on till it's too late; you will either have 1. Thermal cut out (with a painful reset), 2. A burnt out GPU, or worst case scenario 3. a Fire in your PC)
