Hidden Expedition: Midgard’s End – Review

Eipix might have been hit-or-miss with some of its series, but we know we can always rely on Hidden Expedition. Ever since Eipix took over the franchise, every single sequel has been nothing short of amazing. Hidden Expedition: Midgard’s End tells a rather cliche story about a stolen artifact, although delivered in such a way that is both interesting and creative.

They said first impression is everything, and Midgard’s End did a fantastic job with its epic opening sequence. This installment of Midgard’s End is also more action-packed than ever, with uses of savvy technology and cool gadgets. This, combined with Eipix’s usual gorgeous graphics and epic soundtracks makes Midgard’s End one thrilling game.

Hidden Expedition: Midgard’s End focuses more on the hidden object scenes than most games from this developer do. This is not a bad thing since all of the hidden object scenes feature smart interactions and fascinating themes. These hidden object scenes balance well with the mini-games and puzzles. The puzzles in this sequel are particularly difficult. The majority of them are not totally innovative, but they take hints from the standard ones and add some flair and twists for complication and challenge.

Regardless, we still find the adventure part of the game to be fairly easy. This might explain why Hidden Expedition: Midgard’s End feels like short game; it only took us barely 3.5 hours to complete. As for the Collector’s Edition, it equips with a 50-minute bonus chapter, wallpapers, concept art, soundtracks, cutscenes, achievements, collectibles, replayable hidden object scenes, replayable puzzles and a secret room.
