Hidden World of Art 2: Undercover Art Agent by Meridian93 is more of the same story as its predecessor. This time pictures were not stolen, but spoiled violently. The unknown vandal painted in some extra details to the world’s greatest masterpieces. You are playing as a young, but talented restorer, who has to reveal those extras, erase them, and in the end capture the criminal.

Usually, gameplay is diversified with various interesting puzzles and addictive mini-games, but here the developers decided not to digress themselves from the primary genre and made it all hidden object. As a result the game turned out to be a high-quality one, but also a little monotonous. There is no time limit, but you shouldn’t think that your mission is going to be simple. All the hidden items are skillfully disguised and you are allowed only one free hint per level, after which you have to pay increasing amounts for additional hints.

On the scale of challenge, Hidden World of Art 2: Undercover Art Agent can be graded as a quite satisfactory game. There is a gallery where you can view all the paintings you have completed, with the name of painting and artist underneath, so the game also has some cognitive qualities. If relaxing pure hidden object play with beautiful backgrounds, good graphics and nice music is what you are looking for, you will undoubtedly enjoy playing this game!
