Little hidden city Review

Little Hidden City is a hidden object game featuring six main levels and a bonus stage, where players search for various items in detailed 3D environments. The game offers a unique twist with interactive elements like opening drawers and car trunks. However, the experience is marred by inconsistent art styles, awkward controls, and repetitive, sometimes annoying sound design. Many players find the game short, with completion times under two hours, and criticize the lack of progress saving during levels. Achievements are abundant, with one for nearly every found object, which some see as excessive. While the price is low, often under a dollar during sales, the game struggles to match the polish and depth of similar titles like Hidden Folks. Players appreciate the charming Lego-like figures and detailed maps but feel the game lacks replayability and polish, making it a mixed experience overall.

Highlights

Players praise the game's detailed 3D maps and charming Lego-style characters, which add a unique visual appeal. The interactive elements, such as opening drawers and car doors, are well received and add depth to the hidden object gameplay. The gradual increase in difficulty and larger levels provide a satisfying challenge. Many also appreciate the game's low price point and consider it a decent casual pastime. The graphics, while inconsistent, are often described as crisp and colorful, contributing to an engaging visual experience.

Criticisms

Common criticisms focus on the game's short length and lack of content, with only six main levels and minimal replayability. Controls are frequently described as awkward and unintuitive, with issues in scrolling and zooming mechanics. The sound design receives negative feedback due to repetitive and irritating noises, including constant beeping sounds on certain levels. Progress saving is limited, causing frustration when leaving levels mid-way. The art style is inconsistent, mixing various assets that feel mismatched, and the excessive achievement system is seen as a cheap ploy. Several bugs and glitches, such as unclickable objects and inaccessible levels, further detract from the experience.
