Sea Legends: Phantasmal Light Collector's Edition

Sea Legends: Phantasmal Light is a new Hidden Object game from unfamiliar Shaman Games Studio. Will it be another outstanding game series or just shabby premise? Let’s us examine it carefully.

To start with the plot, your husband and you take a leisurely sail aboard but a heavy storm and huge waves break your hopes on idyll holidays. You both cast aground, and the guy disappears, you, the protagonist, goes on a search to find you dear husband. Today the stories about feeble guys and keen-witted girls tend to be rather standard. So, the task like “rescue the man” isn’t so exciting for us.

While the storyline is ordinary, the gameplay is still challenging. The hidden object scenes are very interactive and a bit more difficult than usual. The hint system works well, providing us with a good number of hints and tips. The puzzles are quite interesting, but could have perplexed our brain a bit more. Unlike most of Hidden Object game Sea Legends: Phantasmal Light has clear navigation without any irritating useless moves. There is a good amount of back and forth travel that doesn’t make you bored at all.

Visually, the nautical theme is well presented by the mean of very realistic animation. The view of water in Sea Legends: Phantasmal Light is beyond any praises. Although some scenes are a bit blurred and not as sharp as they should be. Anyway, the designers created authentic atmosphere that evokes uneasy feeling.

Summing up, this new game can excite most of Hidden Object newbies as well as amuse the veterans of this genre.
