I bought this game despite the negative reviews, after hesitating. I liked the predecessor and I really enjoyed this one so far. The story is good, the graphics are nice and the tasks are motivating. The locations are nice, varied and captivating. There are some glitches now and then with the animations, but they are not disturbing. I do not like the reaction-parts of the gameplay, fortunately there are not many in the first four chapters. I play the game with mouse only, just as classic adventure games are meant to be played and it works perfectly.

I really enjoyed this game. The graphics were beautiful. The story was captivating. Exploring old houses is especially fun for me. I experienced no technical issues throughout gameplay. In the style of point and click adventures, there was a lot of thinking to be done in this game.Most of the puzzles were easy. I would say the one at the end with the Nordic Boat was particularly difficult. I really enjoyed that the characters travelled all over the world. Some of the landscapes were very beautiful. I really enjoyed the fact that autumn leaves fell throughout certain segments of the game. It reminded me of another of my most favourite games,Black Mirror III. The learning curve seemed to fall on easy for most of the game until you reached the final chapters. It then seemed to soar up to rather difficult in certain areas. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys point and click adventures with a pseudo-historical narrative. Since Germany isn't allowed to utilise the swastika in games they chose a different symbol. This didn't take away from the overall story regarding World War II. It helped you understand the severe terror these people went through especially in their hiding from the Nazi's. In a way it reminded me of when I visited Anne Frank's house in The Netherlands.

pros
+ gorgeous looking, colorful and detailed 3 D background artwork
+ there are plenty of different interesting and exotic locations
+ the story that i believe is inspired by İndiana Jones movies is intriguing. there are also some cool stuff about scandinavian mythology in the end and i quite like it.
+ fun to watch cinematic cutscenes
+ nice background musics
+ three playable character
+ some action and stealth parts fun
+ some puzzles and mini games are enjoyable. they are not so easy or difficult. there are also inventory puzzles you can combine some items
+ when you press to space, hotspots highlighted so no need to pixel hunting
+ If you do get stuck, you can consult the in-game walkthrough
+ game drops cards
cons
- voice acting hit and miss. especially Fenton Paddock's voice acting quite wooden
- some frustrating puzzles
- short dialogues between protagonists cause lack of character development
- there is no linearity in the plot and it progress haphazardly. this makes the story uninteresting and boring most of part.
- there is no information about Fenton's wife. she was second protagonist in first game but she has been omitted from this game and there is no explanation about it.
- blurry and low quality cut scenes
- black screens between cutscenes and chapters
- script way weaker than first game
- there are no Steam achievements
- game little bit buggy and glitchy but it's not game breaking
- there is no auto save
- it's shorter than first game. last chapters also short and they looks like rushedly made.
Overall, LH 2 definitely not as good as first game in many aspects and somewhat flawed but yet i enjoyed from this game and recommend it to adventure gamers.

After playing the first Lost Horizon game I expected more from the sequel. But I'm afraid Lost Horizon 2 didn't improve on the lacks original had, actually it was a significant downgrade in every aspect. Game is much shorter, storytelling is awkward and gameplay puzzles are mostly generic.
Never the less if you are huge fan of original Lost Horizon I recommend Lost Horizon 2. It has some issues but main story is not extremely bad and game is rather short.
There are few new gameplay mechanics incorporated. Apparently controller support was implemented so in few cases player need to use controller (or a mouse) to physically move objects on the scene. This feels very out of place and I don't know why it was implemented. There is also one-screen simple minigames and quicktime event sequence (just once if I remember correctly!) as additional game mechanics added to the gameplay.
Lack of character animations, especially compared to the first game, makes storytelling dull (characters are just standing during long conversations).
Another reason why entire game seems unfinished is because of the big inconsistency in appearance of short animated scenes. Sometimes they are there and sometimes they are obviously missing... It seems to me developers had some production problems.
Graphically scenes look very nice. I was surprised to notice that, as far as I can tell, almost all the scenes were made in full 3D. Since camera is almost always static the choice to make 3D scenes is very strange. Modeling and texturing so many scenes is very time consuming compared to 2D scene painting techniques even when those require a base made in 3D.
Characters don't look as good as in the first game. They are 3D models as they were in the first game, but compared to original Lost Horizon game they stick out in the scenes way too much.
In all, original game was graphically much more consistent and appealing.
Lost Horizon 2 had a good premise but bad execution... It seems to me as developers had some production problems so I tried not to be too harsh.

Pretty unrecognizable from the excellent first game. Cut scenes were low quality, although the interactive scenes were nicely done. It lacked any trademark geniune humour or charm in the script/delivery from the voice actors. Puzzles were okay, but a few illogical ones were frustrating. And an annoying bug near the end game marred what was an okay journey overall. It's okay, but get it in the sales.

I like playing the game. Graphics are very nice, ambient sound and voice actors are great. Puzzles are logical and good, sometimes are time based puzzles anoying, you must repeat whole scenario again and again. The lenght of the game is acceptable, about 10 hours. Story is great, you playing with 3 difrent players, sometimes you must switch between two players for finish some task, and this is great implemented into the story. You visit many diffrent locations and they are very colorful. The story is presented with many great animations. I played the first Lost Horizon game and I like it and I must say that the second one is better.

It's not great, but far from the worst. I think this one should be a bit further down your list, but if you're starved for point and click adventures and have finished all the popular choices already, maybe give this one a shot. I'm glad I didn't let the reviews discourage me, so I'm giving it a thumbs up.
