The Mystery of the Crystal Portal: Beyond the Horizon

Did anybody believe that The Mystery of the Crystal Portal was over? Of course, we didn’t! Big Fish Games could not miss the opportunity to push this intriguing storyline. So today we are able to play The Mystery of the Crystal Portal: Beyond the Horizon, a fresh sequel to the well-known hidden object game, which sends you on another mission with Nicole and Igor to save Nicole’s missing father.

This hidden object adventure hybrid has returned with high-quality visuals and adorable game environment. In comparison with the previous installment, The Mystery of the Crystal Portal: Beyond the Horizon became more prolific, pleasing us with its polished graphics and addictive gameplay. There developers try not only to keep the successful gameplay of the preceding edition but put some gimmicks there. So you will see there an upgraded item system that became more organic and few original puzzles. Surely, it is not a groundbreaking decision but the appearance of ringed menu around the object makes the quest more convenient. 

Contrary to the first chapter, The Mystery of the Crystal Portal: Beyond the Horizon looks quite robust and impressive, still lacks for challenging mini-games and puzzles. Most of the tasks are clear and often requires doing useless moves that make the gameplay very annoying. If there were more exclusive mini-games, it would add complexity to the search. Moreover, you may find this game a little short and too brief. Despite few tedious quirks, this title offers you a well-designed hidden object experience. Good luck!
