An enchanting HOG

Lovely locations.

I think I might be overdoing it on the HOGs so this will be my last for a while, though it's certainly one of the better of the genre that I have played. The story is the usual fantasy nonsense but the graphics are just lovely, with enchanting, atmospheric environments and an easy-going difficulty level. The hidden object scenes themselves mostly add a new twist instead of just the usual list of things to find, and you'll make frequent and pleasing progression without hitting any dead-ends and you'll earn achievements/trophies every 20 minutes or so. A lot of HOGs suffer from translation issues which can be quite frustrating for English localizations, but Eventide has no such problems.

Of the 25 trophies I got all but one (the bookworm trophy) but once you finish the game it won't allow you to go back through all the locations to find you missed, meaning you have to play it ALL again just to get a perfect game. Kinda uncool. Trading cards are also included. There's only 5 to collect so I got all the way to badge level 3.
