I played Hidden Through Time back in 2020 during COVID-19. Hidden Through Time was such a soothing game which is what I needed to get through that tumultuous time. I was scrolling through Steam as you do and I saw that there was a sequel. I was ecstatic! I immediately purchased, downloaded, and spent seven hours playing all the maps. Hidden Through Time 2 improved upon the first game, yet didn’t deviate from what made the game fun.

Hidden Through Time 2 is a hidden objects game with several themed maps. There are four themes within the game, they are 1001 Nights, Greek Mythology, The Middle Ages, and The Magical 80s. Within each individual map, there is a row of objects at the bottom of the screen. These indicate which hidden objects the player will need to locate. If you hover over the object, a hint will pop up to help direct the player to a specific area where the object can be found. In Hidden Through Time 2, there’s a new feature. Towards the top, the weather on the map can be changed to sunny, cloudy, snowy, or rainy. Some objects can be found in both weather maps while others can only be found in a specific weather pattern. The goal of the game is to locate all the objects within each themed area.

I loved the maps! I was partial to The Magical 80s and The Middle Ages. In The Middle Ages maps, there’s an Owlbear! The Middle Ages felt more like Lord of the Rings and Dungeons & Dragons than King Arthur which I liked a lot. I liked the weather setting. I thought it provided more of a challenge since some objects would appear darker on the map, so it took longer to find them. With the weather setting, it offered more replayability since it added more to the maps. Playing Hidden Through Time 2, I looked forward to getting off work, driving home, and playing this game.

Hidden Through Time 2 was so cute. I loved every second of it. It’s a game I would absolutely uninstall, reinstall, and replay it again. Hidden Through Time 2 does have a new DLC which I will be playing next and of course, I will write a post about it once I finish the game.
