Traveling to what I’m guessing is an island off the coast of Mexico, we find the single Michelle Deanfield trying to get away for a well-deserved vacation. I mean winning the Pulitzer Prize should have some rewards right? Upon arriving to the island, Michelle finds a lot more than sun, sand, and surf, she stumbles upon some ancient Mayan remains. Mysterious and scary, the ever-courageous Michelle finds a lot more to the Island of Hope than she could have imagined.
A hidden object game, the Island of Hope was not sounding too promising when I first saw its preview. Upon playing the game, I was surprised to find a lot of depth and game play than the usual ones of its type. The Island of Hope’s minigames and unorthodox clues made it stand out among others. One such in particular was listening to a clue to figure out the object and then finding it. This was a good change from the usual list of clues and it held my interest for what was to come throughout the rest of the game.
Hidden object games are usually not my cup of tea, however Island of Hope was not a lost cause. The tropical island theme and Mayan mysteries are a fresh look compared to a basement or attic environment that these games mostly consist of. It proved to be more fun than any of the other hidden object games I have played so far and is worth it for any casual gamer. I give Island of Hope a 4 out of 5 stars.
