This game scenario is not usual for a HOG. You play as a pilot, Veronica, who one day receives an S.O.S. signal from geologists team from Alaska. While she was staying in north pole.
This mission leads her all around the world, using different portals. As you get to know the story of those lost geologists, you have to find many hidden objects in different indoor and outdoor locations. Unlike most hidden object games, all items, that you need to find are always relevant to the story or location. Besides the game hints you to keep found object in your inventory, in order you could use it to solve some puzzle. And you always can use a hint to find some object in some really messy location.
In order to find objects you have not only classical list of objects to search, but you also will have to find objects with the help of silhouette given or you might be asked to take a picture of some scene which you are asked to find. You also will have to use flashlight in order to find objects in the darkened areas. These features are really well done in this game.
Besides, after few levels you will be asked to solve some puzzles. They are pretty easy, but certainly it depends on your skills. From the main menu, you can go to each puzzle and replay it. And the items will be in different places again. This is a good replay feature.
Veronica Rivers: Portals to the Unknown doesn’t differ much from other hidden object games, but it deserves good mark only for everything (from the story to the art) done extremely well.
So it’s one of the genre titles which should be played, at least you should download the trial version.
