Hidden Through Time 2: Discovery Reviews
Hidden Through Time 2: Discovery is exactly what it needs to be, and a great option for anyone looking for a different kind of cozy puzzle game.
Anyone who has played a Hidden Through Time game and enjoyed it will love Hidden Through Time 2: Discovery, as it truly is just more of the same. While it could have been sold as an expansion or DLC to Myths & Magic, it still has a lot of content for a decent price, coming in at around $10, especially when you take into consideration that these maps are hand-drawn. The relaxing experience of searching for hidden items in the whimsical maps with aliens and monsters provides a cozy experience. Having more of the same isn't a bad thing, and not every game has to be fantastically updated or changed, although it still confuses me why Hidden Through Time 2: Discovery isn't an expansion.
Offering more of what gamers saw in the last entry, Hidden Through Time 2: Discovery rounds out a worthy trio, even if it curiously shares numbering with its predecessor. A sizable bug, presently rendering the game impossible to 100%, can't be ignored. But, with a slightly better optimization overall, plus an improved theme, this is still a good entry to grab when it's discounted or patched.
Hidden Through Time 2: Discovery has become one of my new favourite wind-down, cozy games I play before I head to bed. My nine-year-old and partner both play with me and have played the level I created, too. Hidden Through Time 2: Discovery is more than worth its price and a definite recommend to anyone who enjoys puzzles, hidden object games, or level creation.
Overall, this is a perfect budget friendly cozy game if you’re looking for something simple and stress free. Let us know what you think in the comments!
If you like hidden objects or are familiar with Hidden Through Time, you'll enjoy this one! It has more charm, quality-of-life improvements, and features.
Hidden Through Time 2: Discovery keeps the series smooth fun. If it were a DLC rather than a standalone game, it would make HTT2 a whole greater than the sum of its parts by building on and augmenting everything we've seen in Myths & Magic in Architect mode and its online creations. In this way, however, we only have the strangeness of seeing a sequence separated into two isolated parts that, even though they are good in themselves, divide forces instead of adding them.

Hidden Through Time 2: Discovery is simply more great object-finding fun. If you enjoyed Myths & Magic then pick this up as well.
As stated at the outset, for Hidden Through Time 2: Discovery, I could have reused the previous review, but that would not have been fair to the development team's efforts. They worked hard to offer a series of new levels for our pixel-hunting pleasure. While everything changes to remain the same, the game offers a light and fun experience. More like an add-on than a new episode, it's perfect for a few relaxing hours during this hot summer, a perfect appetizer while waiting for more substantial productions.
