Intro
Time Mysteries 2: The Ancient Spectres is a sequel to Time Mysteries: Inheritance - Remastered (my review), a hidden object game focusing on time...
This one is actually kind of annoying. Every time you change times there's a dumb clock. The story is ok. The hidden object spots are hard and the map is necessary.
Time Mysteries 2: The Ancient Spectres is a fun little hidden-object adventure. The time-travel theme is probably my favorite part, and I liked seeing how the different locations and periods connected to the story.
The puzzles are fairly easy, so don't expect a major challenge, but they are varied enough to keep things entertaining. The artwork also...
This was originally released in 2011 and so you can expect a lot of pretty old school HOGS and not so many puzzles. However, it has a great alternative game. if you don't fancy the Hogs.
The story is pretty good and there is a great time machine instead of a map.
It's amazing to think Artifex Mundi made this and led the way to the current genre.
