Sarah Maribu and the Lost World is a new hidden object game by ERS G-Studio. On this time the protagonist has to travel to mystery island in order to save her kidnapped husband. 

To start with if you are looking for a game that won’t leave you stuck somewhere with no clue what to do next, in this regard Sarah Maribu and the Lost World will be fine. But honestly, it would be too easy for hidden object pros. It seems to be aimed to play by rather young audience, 10 or 12 year olds can enjoy it without too much help. Though it could easily be a game for children, its theme is a bit more adult. 

The gameplay cannot boast its originality, so you can find there quite common and basic mini-games or puzzles. You are made to find all items, use some of them as a tool, do dozens of basic tasks, open a new location, proceed to next level and so on and so forth. The title -Sarah Maribu and the Lost World - consists of 25 chapters, which can be completed just in a few hours.   

However, Sarah Maribu and the Lost World is a relaxing game as it has no timer and provides with plenty of reloading hints. Graphics are beautifully done so there is no trouble to explore one or another hidden object scene and every item makes visual sense. But music background is not so good rather repetitive due to short parts and unsuitable mood. Thus this title lacks atmosphere and the gameplay seems very methodical and annouing sometimes. Overall, it is an enjoyable way to spend some boring day.
