Antique Road Trip USA

If you start out with hidden object and puzzle games, Antique Road Trip USA from Boomzap Pte. Ltd. gives you a fine chance to perfect your searching skills. The story dwells upon the adventures of Grace and James, who dream of running their own antique business.

Dark, gloomy and spooky stories are so usual for this sort of games, but Antique Road Trip USA is a nice change from them. The game resembles to Gardenscapes, but this time around you are to decorate your antique shop. You step into relaxing gameplay, where the items are not so hard to find, although they are thrown out into classic hidden object scenes. However, this title is badly suffers from repetitive points. For example, you keep going back to the same four areas of the country and play the same four types of mini-games. If there could have been more sceneries and a little more of a variety of mini-games, it would have been a little more captivating.

Antique Road Trip USA will never make you frustrating because the graphics are well, you needn’t take a magnifying glass to fine one or another item. Still, there are few tiny objects, but the hint button let you find all of them. As for its tender points, we don’t like the ability to decorate the shop; we cannot see what item will look like before you buy it as it is possible in Gardencsapes, for instance. The music background is perfect if you are mad on banjo. But if you are not a big fan of this sort of music you will immediately turn it off as this tune repeats from scene to scene. Not bad, but rather middling.
