BGG: Eternal Journey: New Atlantis Collector's Edition is the newest game from publisher Alawar Entertainment. The exciting title tells a mysterious story of an archeologist named Amrite Stone who is working on one of her latest archeological dig sites one minute, and the next, she finds herself awakening from cryogenic stasis 150 years in the future after a terrible accident. Amrite is suffering from amnesia, and she finds that she is alone aboard a futuristic scientific installation in space. Amrite then sets off on an adventure to discover what has happened to herself and the missing crew members with a friendly cat companion along for the ride. Eternal Journey presents a promising storyline that contains a memorable ending with the bonus content of the Collector's Edition allowing you to further explore the game's wonderful ending.
DHGF: Despite the thin storyline and mindless plot, Eternal Journey: New Atlantis delivers for those familiar with the hidden object genre. This is only if, however, your goal should be to challenge yourself with puzzles and mini-games, both of which are infantile in conceptualization and difficulty. The visuals, though stunning and breathtaking in limited glimpses, generally fall short with miscued dialogue and an outdated engine. Overall, if you are a fan of HO games and like the casual appeal, you’ll have an afternoon or two of entertainment to be sure.
Aptly timed to coincide with the Mars landing comes a new hidden object adventure from Alawar Entertainment, not afraid to go a little dark on its casual-gaming fans.
Alawar Entertainment’s latest release, Eternal Journey: New Atlantis Collector’s Edition, breaks the mould somewhat. While still remaining a fairly traditional story led hidden object videogame, Eternal Journey: New Atlantis Collector’s Edition isn’t about exploring the Amazon or escaping undead creatures of the night; it’s a science-fiction adventure that stretches throughout the breadth of space across centuries.
