Ready for another class in Norse Mythology? The fantastic four, the huntress, the shield maiden, the seer and the skald, have a new task: The Wild Hunt is lose, interfering with all rules, set by the gods. So Odin needs help again.

Who is our opponent: The Wild Hunt, ghostly huntsmen passing in wild pursuit, a threat for the living. But it is said as well to maintain the balance between life and death. In our first role we play as the huntress. We meet Ull, god of living hunters, who gives us a background on the wild hunt, how Odin is originally responsible for their existence. As often, things go out of hand and even though Ull has no idea who summoned those dead wild hunters and why, he tries his best to help.

The Hunt is basing on the other games, it is a series, where you continually progress on your ways with the same protagonists. A summary is given at the beginning and you can read about previous adventures in your journal, where you may look up terms and other useful hints. Features, like the HOS and puzzles, are not difficult and you won’t stumble over them every two steps. So the plot can unfold in an acceptable pace. As for me, games like this one, need a good story in the first place, even less HOS would have been sufficient. Puzzles are placed mostly in places, where you feel them as a logic step to go on. The visuals are stunning in this monumental game.

All, who like this dive into the world of Nordic Mythology again, should take theirs bows and arrows and go after the Wild Hunt! Show less

I recommend this game!

This is the 3rd installment of Saga of the Nine Worlds. IMO the 1st game is outstanding while the 2nd failed somewhat to warm the cockles of my heart. Fortunately this 3rd edition restores my feelings for Saga as The Hunt ( at least the demo ) is fantastic.
Once again the player is in the midst of the Seer, Skald and the Huntress and the HUNT involves a quest to find and defeat not so dearly departed beings who are bent on destroying the world as we know it and drop everything into a abyssmal void.
During the demo the player acts as the Huntress and she must return to her own people to gain assistance from her kind and also restore her image to the great god ULL.
She, of course, must coordinate her efforts with folks met along the way and gather items and forge things necessary to her quest.
For starters The Hunt is stunning on the eyes as everything encountered is extremely lifelike. I am a bit surprised that there is not one hidden object segment in the demo but this fact does in no way diminish the excitement this game holds for me. There are loads of puzzles, the variety of which HOPA players have seen quite often. The manner in which these are presented while not unique offer entertainment and some degree of challenge that is a key factor in any very good game.
I suppose The Hunt includes morphs and collection items yet I became so engrossed in the quest itself that I did not bother to look for any extraneous items which as we all know well enough hardly ever impact the game.
Players who relish more of an adventure saga than merely facing constant HO segments should truly enjoy this hunt.
Being entrenched into more Norse mythology along the ride is an added enjoyment to a fantastic game. Show less

I can see why this game could be not to everyone's taste, but if you have any interest in Scandinavian sagas, like I do you will enjoy it. it is slow all right but totally gripping and a good attention for detail, Not sure that the vikings had bolt cutters, but for me this is a minor setback, I suggest that you try but dont expect anything to happen too quickly. I just hope that this is not the last one in the series, You have to play to the end to see why i think it might be so. Show less

I thought the puzzles were excellent at a varied levels of difficulty. There is a significantly lesser number of HOP's, and they were not over difficult by comparison, but they were very attractive.

This review is based on the demo only. This game is the third installment of the saga of the 9 worlds series. Your "team" of 4 which is nicely reviewed in the opening, is called upon to retrieve the fragments of a horn which can summon "the Wild Hunt" although this is not immediately clear. In the demo, the huntress journeys to get more information and learns she has to find the horn pieces. The storyline is rich in mythology and the tasks are consistent with that. There is plenty of explanation along the way of what is driving the hunt. Some might find it boring. Others might find it helpful to understand the motivation. There is a lot of interspersed information about North mythology although it is woven well in the story. The character is consistently having to "prove" herself in order to move forward. It's nicely done and consistent. The visuals and sound are in keeping with the tone of the story. If you like this kind of tale, it's great. You can get totally enveloped and the tasks make sense. (No zipper pulls with paper clips, making ladders, LOL) The map is very helpful. I agree with a previous reviewer, the bear puzzle needed more instructions but overall the puzzles were good and a decent challenge and worked well with the storyline. I recommend you play the demo and see if it works for you. I liked it as it really was an escape to an interesting time and place. Show less

I thank the Dev's for their innovated story and graphic but please -- more hidden object scenes. The only thing I did not care for was the lack of what to do in a few mini-games but I ether worked it out or skipped it when I started gritting my teeth
I did have a problem finding the collectables and finally gave up since I missed something about just what I was supposed to be looking for.
So I'm chalking this game up to a visual change of pace and do not know if I will get another one as I played all the previous ones.
This one gets a 3 *** and 1/2 * on my personal enjoyability scale. Show less

When I finished the third chapter I check the replays you have only after you finish them in the game. Well, the replays were 23 mini-games and 5 hops. Very uneven. After the four chapter which is the end of the main game it had 26 mini-games and 12 hops. After the bonus chapter 29 mini-games and 14 hops.

I did like the 20 Souvenirs and 37 Hidden signs, 14 morphs in the hops and 11 videos. Playing the Harp. There are interesting characters. The only blur I had was the back ground when someone was talking. I thought it was a conscious focus.

I was bored after the third chapter.

The Seer has just had a dire vision about "The Wild Hunt" a vision of Death and Despair. The Hunt is interfering with the rules the gods have set, and the gods are angry. The Shield-Maiden is eager to take on The Hunt, she is prepared to do whatever it takes to defend the Nine Worlds. Stories of the Wild Hunt prophecy have been passed down for generations in The Huntresses Clan, and she has agreed to visit the elders to gather vital knowledge to help them on their quest. The Skald is ready, willing, and able, to play a song??? It's hard to take this game seriously when all these epic visions and battle-ready characters inspire everyone, and then the camera pans to the Skald who's casually strumming a tune and say's "Surely this shall be an event worthy of a song" Seriously?? That's easy for him to say, does he have to walk around with antlers strapped to his back having visions of doom and gloom? Does he have to carry a large wooden shield and defend everyone from Dragons to otherworldly creatures? Does he have to Hunt down prey from wild Boars to Giant Bears? Nope, he's just sitting around waiting to play a stuid song once the battles been fought!

The Hidden Object Scenes are fairly mia in this puzzle-heavy game. The scenes themselves are located in interesting locations, and for the most part, are well done and story related. There are Silhouetted Shape finds, Keywords in Sentence finds and one where you must find the correct faces on several figurines. In this Collector's Edition version, each scene has a Morphing Object to find, and the morphs are slow and well concealed.

The Mini-Games are more abundant than the HOP's in this game. Personally, I found many of them to be far to easy to solve, some of which have lengthy, and/or confusing directions. If you choose to Skip a game, you'll still have to wait and watch a step by step replay of how it's solved. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games you'll encounter during the demo:

1) Select identical buttons in the same horiz/vert/diag line.
2) Use a viewfinder to locate & focus all rock formations.
3) Shoot all sandbags when target crosshairs turn green.
4) Plan correct sequence using attack/defend/heal icons.
5) Match all tokens to remove them.
6) Replicate a sculpture by choosing the correct designs.
7) Drag tokens along tracks to their matching slots.
8) Choose 2 stones that have the correct symbol sections shown.

This Collector's Edition has 8 Wallpapers, 4 Concept Art pictures, 8 Character pictures (split dev/character) 8 Music Soundtracks, 11 Movie Videos, 13 Achievements to earn, a Journal (w/characters) 14 re-playable Hidden Object Scenes, 29 re-playable Mini-Games, a Bonus Game, 20 Souvenir's to collect in the Souvenir Room, 14 HOP Morphing Objects, 37 Hidden Signs (different signs in each of the World's you visit) 4 Main Chapters +Bonus Chapter and a built-in Strategy Guide, enjoy!
