Hidden Through Time 2: Myths & Magic Reviews
Hidden Through Time 2 is the perfect family game: relaxed, interactive and creative, and it's one of those rare titles that will keep you coming back for months to find just one more thing.
Hidden Through Time 2: Myths & Magic is fun, but some significant issues (at least on Switch) make it fall slightly short of its predecessor. It might be better to grab this one on sale or when DLC arrives (hopefully with a performance patch). Creative types might not want to wait that long.
While it may not blow anyone’s mind, Hidden Through Time 2: Myths & Magic is a serviceable hidden object game with an exception level editor.
Hidden Through Time 2: Myth & Magic brings a more of the same comfortable and fun hidden object search. I missed the aesthetic evolution, but the ambition was invested in the Architect mode for the creation and sharing of new levels, greatly increasing the possibilities of enjoying this lovely and relaxing game that, even if it is for only one player, can be enjoyed with the whole family.

If you enjoy seeking and finding, you’ll get a big kick out of playing Hidden Through Time 2: Myths and Magic. With more than 30 beautifully designed environments, there’s plenty to keep you searching – and when you’ve had enough, you can try your hand at making your own levels. Sure, it’s not going to be for everyone, but if hunting out objects is your jam, there are several hours of fun to be had here.
Hidden Through Time 2: Myths & Magic may be a casual game, but it offers a hardcore experience for the fans of the hidden-objects genre. It is a puzzle game that has a catchy visual style, it is full of details and offers many hours of fun.
If you have a soft spot for cuteness and love finding hidden objects then you'll absolutely adore Hidden Through Time 2: Myths & Magic.
I think Hidden Through Time 2: Myths & Magic struggles trying to turn what is essentially a 5-minute activity book into a fully fledged game, and it just isn’t fleshed out enough to make it engaging. Once you’ve played for 10-minutes, you have experienced all there is, and if you’re looking for something a little more enticing then this isn’t the game for you. I do still think that if you’re the type of person who enjoys games where you don’t have to engage your brain and just like to pass the time with a harmless task then this could be worth playing (as long as you’re ok with long loading screens).
Hidden Through Time 2: Myths & Magic is a very enjoyable production that stole just over an hour from my life. I am able to recommend it to anyone looking for something calming, but also warming up some of our brain rolls. What's more, you can see at a glance that this title could have been done a bit better. However, it is already not bad and is a game worth recommending.

Hidden Through Time 2: Myths & Magic is a great, enjoyable experience for me, and it’s worth the money if you’re a fan of the Hidden Object genre. My initial reaction was skepticism regarding Rogueside’s ability to separate this game from the previous in a way that would warrant a sequel rather than merely being a DLC offering; nonetheless, they were successful in doing so. Despite its seeming simplicity, the game offers endless activities.
Hidden Through Time 2 is the perfect relaxation game. There are no time limits, scores, penalties or major mistakes you can make. You can also play the game nicely together, an extra pair of eyes certainly helps and makes the game even more fun. It looks very colorful and with editor and hopefully an active community you can expect many more levels. The only frustration here is when you can't find the item. I must have spent tens of minutes looking for a spoon before finally finding it in a very logical place. The feeling of victory was great after finally finding that spoon and that is why these types of books and games have been popular for years.

An unusual title that feels like it would be perfect for even younger gamers, but may be too hard for them to stick with
Hidden Through Time 2: Myths & Magics takes advantage of simple gameplay to create a fun game that's great for relaxing. Its concept of searching for hidden items in scenarios is not new, but it is well executed by bringing colorful, well-animated maps with a certain level of interaction, even if it is not ideal. Its creation mode is an excellent complement to improve the experience, as the campaign can be finished in a few hours. Even with some small limitations, Myths & Magics is an excellent recommendation for anyone looking for a pastime to relax.

The list of things to find might seem a little short at first, but it’s remarkably devious and should keep you searching for a consistent stretch. If you see the scenes above and think “that looks like fun,” hey, you are probably going to have a good time.
Hidden Through Time 2: Myths & Magic simply wants players to experience ease in finding objects. Finding lost or misplaced items in our lives can feel frustrating and dire in our moments of need.
"From cute visuals to the occasional brow-furrowing object hunt, Hidden Through Time 2 is a mostly relaxing object hunting game. Lots of levels to take on that’ll keep you busy for some hours. Though the time mechanism isn’t all that and the single-looping songs might get a bit unpleasant, it shouldn’t stop you from getting a warm feeling of finding a well-hidden book."
Slap together a scene, hide a few objects, and voila – that was the formula for the first Hidden Through Time, and that’s the formula for Hidden Through Time 2. Why change what works?
Hidden Through Time 2: Myths & Magic is a fun game with some interesting concepts, mechanics, and environments with tons to do. Be creative and make your own maps and challenges for other players with your own find-and-seek games. You can also take on the campaign mode, explore, and hunt for hidden objects through some of the most iconic myths. Hidden Through Time 2: Myths & Magic is definitely worth giving a shot and will hopefully get some attention on the quality-of-life side of things.
Slightly better puzzles and more visual variety make Hidden Through Time 2 more enjoyable than its predecessor, but do not expect a lot of depth from this pastime of a game. There’s just so much you can do with a game that’s essentially Where’s Waldo with a different art style. I appreciate the improved presentation, better UI, and community-created content, even if the latter will remind you of how unfair the first game’s puzzles were by the end of it.
Hidden Through Time 2: Myths and Magic is an adorable hidden objects game with light story and cute sprites. It captures the joy of the first game really well and is perfect for any fan of the genre.
