Pretty bad HOG
Overview
Alex Hunter is a weak offering in a genre with plenty of superior alternatives.
Positive
- Nice music.
- Extra symbols to find in locations.
- Fairly long for a Hidden Object Game (4+ hours).
Neutral
- Map travel.
- Available actions indicated on map.
- Passable graphics.
- Passable videoclips.
- In-game achievements.
- Interactive objects in Hidden Object Puzzles
- Functional hints/puzzle skipping system.
Negative
- The worst puzzles i've ever seen in a HOG. I skipped about half of them.
- Objects in HOPs are sometimes unresponsive when clicked.
- Interactive objects in HOPs are rarely logical and overly hard to find.
- A number of item interactions are illogical (opening a drawer with a machete).
- Some items are used as keys despite not looking like keys.
- It lacks Steam achievements that might motivate you not to use hints.
- Too many 'relief keys'.
- Too many 'reproduce symbols from a note' "puzzles".
- Overly flimsy story even by the low, low standards of HOGs.
Conclusion
Aside from it's length, Alex Hunter scores average marks for most features. It's terrible puzzles and quantity-over-quality approach prevent a recommendation.
