The Secret Order 2: Masked Intent
The Secret Order 2: Masked Intent is a suspenseful adventure with historical elements based on the theme of the conflict between good and evil.
The daughter of the Master of the Order of the Griffins receives an alarming call. She is the only person who can stop the new member of the high council – the Secret Five – from destroying the Order. The organisation has guarded the world for centuries, but recent events have brought it to the verge of ruin. Embark on an epic journey full of magical items, forbidden mysteries, and time travel. Restore the order of the world and make amends for the sins of the past. Learn the secrets of forgotten artefacts, travel to the 17th century, earn the trust of the spectres imprisoned on a mysterious island, and discover the seat of the Clan of the Dragon, whose only mission is to thwart the efforts of the Order and to spread chaos.
Will the two powerful artefacts be returned to their rightful places and will the world be saved from destruction? Will the Master’s daughter live up to the task?

Recommended, but only on sale.
It's a 10y old game and the graphics are accordingly. The gameplay is very simple, don't expect much. But if you like HOGs, try it - I think it's well made, the background story about secret orders and magic is not too absurd and I didn't discover any bugs.

These Artifex games aren't bad in general, but this one isn't their best. The puzzles are a little too easy and somewhat overused. How many concentric ring puzzles can we put into one game? There's also several jigsaws and key quests upon key quests. The HO scenes are moderately challenging, especially if you are trying for the speed achievement. The artwork (and the dialog at times) has an AI feel to it. I did enjoy the "Enigmatis" series but this one has a less interesting story. I may get some of the others in this series if they're on sale.

I recommend this but only if it's on a heavy sale because the usual 15 bucks is too much for this game.
It's the first one I tried in this series and it's not the best work from Sunward. It's a little boring and... I don't know.
It's a game to relax and if you like Hidden Objects Games it's nice but if you can grab other games from the developer, try these.

A very detailed and well-thought out HOG, that also took me a very long time to complete! I love the storyline through various settings and how each one was well-established. The style is a bit older, but this HOG is extremely well done.

It's an Artifex Mundi game. What do you want?
If you've played one, you've played them all. I'm not saying it's bad. I honestly recommend that everybody play at least one AM game. Once you have, you'll know whether you enjoy it.
If you did, this is more of the same. Get it and have fun. If you didn't, well... this is more of the same, and you won't enjoy this one either! :P

Easy, but kept me entertained. a typical game of this genre. Some of the music was very spooky. Only bad thing was the hint button made an annoying dinging noise once it was refilled and kept making noise until you used it. easily turned off in settings though.

(Played 2x, so that's why the hours are so long. While it's a long game, it isn't that long)
A good game if you want more bang for your buck. Very, very long with tons of hard puzzles and HOPA scenes. Wonderfully challenging and fun to play. The only complaint I have is the use of 3D animation because it looks horrible. The game would have been better off in 2D. I don't like 3D HOPAs because companies don't have the money, time, or resources to make 3D look good.
But if you are willing to look past the really, really bad graphics and are more in it for the gameplay, then I say go ahead.
