Do not let the "2" in the title fool you. While this is the second Golden Trails game, I do not believe there is much that actually links this title to the first game, other than the style of gameplay, which is a good thing. So, there is really no need to play the first game first, but if you like the gameplay in this title, definitely give the 1st one a go.

So, there is really no need to play the first game first, but if you like the gameplay in this title, definitely give the 1st one a go.

The hidden objects are challenging, not to the point of being frustrating. Most of the puzzles also provide a decent challenge. And shooting the bandits for the hints is a nice added bonus and fun factor. The art/visuals fits right in with the story line and the gameplay. I think each piece has been balanced quite well.

Thanks so much Big Fish for releasing yet another award-winning game. This game is much better than the first one. The collector's edition was amazing - it contained a ton of material, and the bonus ending was worth it. Great for anyone who wants to play a beautiful hidden object game filled with tons of stuff and adventure!

Really enjoyed this game. About a "medium" hard. A lot of different areas to work through, but not enough to be frustrating. Shooting the bandits is a hoot (for hints). About 40 different trophies. I didn't understand about all the trophies at first, so I missed a bunch!! But the game can be played again of course and you have the choice of taking your score and trophies with you for the replay. ...Show more

This game had everything - everything that we have grown to expect with Collectors Edition games. The story line revolves round the fact that your grandfather had been arrested and accused of piracy and you have to find the missing ship's logbook and prove his innocence whilst having the adventure of a lifetime. The dialogue is appealing, with some reading and some voice overs between the various characters. The graphics are well defined clear and colourful. Most of the puzzles require some thought as they are rather challenging but interesting and give a sense af acheivement with a successful solution. The shooting of bandits is a pleasant distraction from the main game and bonus points (lucky Clovers) are awarded for your efforts.
Most of the hidden objects are reasonably easy to locate and some need to be found in a different area but occasionally a hint is required for the well hidden objects.
I ended up playing this game twice as I did not realise the first time that a number of lucky clovers needed to be collected to activate the bonus section, and I did not hve enough to qualify. Some of the lucky clovers are quite difficult to find. All in all a challenging, interesting and enthralling game. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Show less

This game will keep you "hooked". The rooms are exciting to play and there is a trophy room to check and see how well you are doing. You can even go back and challenge your ranking. When I only have a short time to play - this is the "go to" game.

I liked this game. I played it twice in a row because I wasn't paying attention to the clovers and finished without getting all of them (I was only missing one!).

Most of the mini-games were very rewarding to play, some so-so but that is the way it goes with games. Not everyone will love all of the games. I liked most of them.

The music was okay, not tedious and not an accordion within hearing. I give a game extra consideration if there is no accordion music. The background sounds were all right. They were game appropriate and not annoying in the least. The developer is to be congratulated.

The bonus game and secret mission game were pretty fine. You definitely get your money's worth. I like leaving one scene and going to another to look for items that you need for the first scene.

Watch out for those clovers and happy gaming! Show less

This is one of my favorite games, there are 3 currently available, and I own all of them. It's just one of the most entertaining Hidden Object games out there. This episode takes place in England when Captain Charley Morgan arrests your grandfather, Baron Edward Moore, AKA Billy the Kid. Captain Morgan tells you he will release your father if you can find his shipping logs, but for some reason grandfather is being closed lipped about everything. Could your grandfather really be Billy the Kid?

You choose different locations to search for some very well concealed or blended items, some of those items will go into your inventory list to be used at some point in the game. Items outlined in blue require the use of an inventory item, and you may have to visit another location to find that inventory item. Items outlined in yellow usually just require a click to expose the item inside, and items that sparkle usually have a really fun mini game to solve to proceed such as aligning books on bookshelves according to clues shown, selecting the correctly shaped skeleton keys or put together torn fragments in a jigsaw type puzzle.

Bandits will pop up throughout the game and your cursor will turn into a gun so you can shoot the bandits for extra hints! There are several Achievements or Trophies to earn which unlock features like the Shooting Gallery where you get to shoot all kinds of bandits. Each scene contains a Lost item that will glint when your cursor hovers over the correct item, and each scene contains several hidden Lucky Clovers (150 total) if you find all 150, a secret mission is unlocked. This game is really fun you should check it out, enjoy! Show less

I played the entire game, plus the bonus, on the expert level. I rarely used the hint button, but did need the strategy guide a few times, which was built in, a great feature. I think I skipped one mini game only because it was the kind that I can't do and frustrates me so that I don't even attempt them.

The ability to "win" access to unlimited playing of the HOS was a nice touch, but I didn't take advantage of it as by the time I was done with the game, I had no desire to replay them. In general, the HOS were pretty challenging and took some time to complete. You could also win trophies throughout the game, which also added a nice touch. I didn't get them all, but enough to be satisfied with my effort.

The animated graphics in some places were really cute. These showed up when you were at the place where you had to move to another location. The screen shows the various places to move to, and the small animated graphics in these screens were fun to watch.

The storyline was disappointing. It started out good, but became confused and seemed to end abruptly with a few things that didn't make any sense left hanging in the air. It almost seemed to me that maybe there was a deadline to get this game to market and the ending was rushed to meet this deadline. I was expecting more locations to open up, as they were shown on the location screen, but the game ended before they were explored. The extra chapter was OK, but was even more confusing and did not add anything to the story.

This game offered a lot of variations in playing that made the game interesting throughout. A very satisfying experience. Show less

Golden Trails 3 begins with Jacque waking up in a tavern after being knocked unconscious. He has a dangerous adventure on his hands that leads him to some surprising secrets involving the Knights Templar Order and a treasure. The game looks and feels simple if you just "stick your toe in the water" but it contains fun difficulties, the kind of challenges that don't make you want to pull your hair out in frustration.

I had a great time with it. There was an abundance of HOs and plenty of interactivity. In addition, there were lots of secret places, each hiding another object needed in your quest. And did I mention that the HOs are quite small and well hidden ? But that did not hinder the game at all. For me, it meant more fun...I love the extra challenge. Fear not, you will not be stuck forever as in so many other games. There is a great hint system...every time a pirate pops up randomly on your screen, be quick and shoot him for an extra hint. At the end of the game I still had 139 hints left ! The mini games were on the simple side, but I find that sometimes the simple ones turn out to be the best. At the end of each episode you get to view all the evidence collected along the way. A nice little extra !

There was very little dialogue but the voices were excellent and easy to listen to, unlike in some games where they are either irritating or are terribly bad. I loved Jacque's voice with his faint accent and pleasant tone. The dialogue was skippable if preferred. I never skip dialogue whether spoken or written, I think it is necessary... to carry the story along and "fill in the blank spaces".

The locations were always clustered in a small village setting so traveling back and forth was easy and the simple map showed where you had been and what was left to find there. It was not necessary to be anything more than just that. The scenes were nice and crystal clear which helped greatly in finding those well hidden objects. The colors used in the graphics were somewhat dreary in most scenes but it worked because it depicted very well the feel of that particular time in Europe's history (IMO).

The storyline was more so a mystery game rather than an HOP/Adventure I think, even though it contained all the elements of such. Golden Trails 3 is a great SE game offering extras that we love without the higher price. There were many trophies to earn, special items that earned you extra play/points. 3 hidden items to find in each scene to complete a collection of 150. And those pirates to shoot for extra points. Also, there is a timed Unlimited Mode as your bonus chapter, that was earned with a required amount of points during the game.

The ending of the story was quite a surprise and for once it was just right! Endings are my pet peeve...always so abrupt or just plain stupid ! But not the case with this one. This one wrapped up Jacque's mission appropriately.

The Golden Trails series is quite entertaining. There were no monsters or evil wizards showing up, ready to destroy anything that moved. Good, clean fun that everyone can enjoy. Certainly worthy of 5 stars.

God Bless... Show less

Review based on completed game (about 5 hours for the 5 episodes, plus almost 45 minutes for the secret mission, plus 75 minutes for the "bonus episode"... so at my pace, about 7 hours of gameplay!); slightly more than the 1st installment.

GOLDEN TRAILS 2 - THE LOST LEGACY is very similar in gameplay to the original game; it’s an old-school HO game; it has a story to move you through the various chapters and I found the voice-overs portions to be quite good (some parts of dialogue need to be read unless you skip).

I enjoyed story in the first game and in this one as well; the challenge of the hidden object scenes provides well drawn AND VERY well blended items into its scenes; some games have a lot more clutter but here, it's all about camouflage; you can get lots of hints (you'll probably need a few sooner or later) by shooting bandits. You need to find 4-leaf clovers (instead of sheriff's badges) to "unlock" the Secret Mission. This time around, you’ll need to sometimes play a mini-game (which can be “skipped”) to gain access to what you need.

Fortunately, at least for me, the game is NOT timed. Once you've completed all the episodes, you unlock the "unlimited mode", which consists of being able to re-play 39 locations, as much as you want, but this is timed (no limit) to see if you can break the fastest record.

A simple but challenging game for HO lovers. Looking forward to the 3rd/final adventure.

Played using Windows 10 without any problem whatsoever. Show less
