Endless Fables 2: Frozen path is a hidden object game from my favourite HoG developer steam, Sunward Games and was published by Artifex Mundi.

This chapter of the Endless Fables serie lead us to the northern part of Europe and aim to create an atmosphere of the norse culture and faith.

The visuals, voice acting are all great, meets the AM standard.

The game entertained me but i like HoGs so i would recommend it to anyone who like such products, my usual problem is always with the pricing. 4hours long game, no replay value and 15eur. I remember when AM HoGs, started with 7eur (and those games were longer!), then it was changed to 10 and now 15, i believe now everyone, just like me, waiting for bundles instead buying directly because of the high price, but why does it worth the developers to sell in bundles for cents instead selling much more copies for like 6,99 or 3,5 during sale? I probably will never know the answer.

Hey, iam an achievement hunter!

Most of hidden object games are easy to perfect to 100% achievements. This isnt the exception. It takes about 4 hours to finish game to 100%. You cant skip minigames, cant use hints during hidden object scenes and yes, there are lot of collectibles out there to find. Please keep in mind in this game you need to complete the bonus chapter too if you aim for perfection.

Endless Fables 2: Frozen Path ist erneut ein tolles Wimmelbildspiel geworden, dass aus einem Gesamtpaket aus Story, Rätseln und Grafik besteht.

Its story may not win any awards, especially with this pacing, but the sheer variety of the hidden object scenes and puzzles of Endless Fables 2 will provide ample entertainment to everyone.

Although Frozen Path is part of the Endless Fables series, its story actually reuses the same elements as one of Sunward Games’ earlier games, The Legacy of Vulcan: we must uncover the truth about an ancient crime among the gods themselves.

Said crime is the death of the Norse deity Baldur, and to find out what really happened to him, we must pass some standard hidden object tropes, such as a mandatory kidnapped friend, plus meeting and helping a few supernatural entities who aid us in the investigation.

While the story is nice and has no real weak points, it is obviously in a secondary role compared to gameplay. Frozen Path is especially strong in hidden object scene design, where we get everything from list-based searches to single-screen puzzles and fragmented object scenes. Combined with the usual puzzle types, they form a little bit directionless, but incredibly entertaining, colourful (and a bit expensive) HOG.

I liked the game and enjoyed playing it. Simplified list of pros and cons:
Pros: beautiful artwork, intuitive interface, bonus chapter, around 4 hours of game, easy achievements.
Cons: repeatable music becoming annoying at some point, no lore, no journal, very simplistic story, easy mini games and HO scenes, easy achievements. Not challenging, if that’s what you are looking for.
If you need relaxing, pleasant game, I can absolutely recommend it. I was expecting a little bit more when it comes to story, since I’m a fan of Nordic mythology, but I don’t regret buying it nor spending my time playing.

I hate to give a 'not recommended', but I started listing all the Artifex Mundi (and other puzzle games) that are better than this one and the list got really long.

There are good parts (2D graphics, game engine, initial story idea) that I appreciate.

Forget Sunward games. Nearly any other developer that Artifex Mundi publishes is better.

This game is bland, disjointed and hastily released at best.

Two variants on old puzzles kept it from being completely boring, but it was far from innovative.

C'mon Artifex Mundi, I've seen you do much better.

I regret buying this one. I will check the developer next time.

This HOG is far too easy : HO scenes, mini-games, the game itself.
It's very short too (it took me 4 hours to achieve both the main and bonus chapters on expert mode).
Comparing to what exists in the genre (HOG) in the market and considering the price, I was expecting something far more solid and I was hoping for a fair game lifetime ! On both sides of my expectations it's a real disappointment.
HOG confirmed gamers : Stay away from this one ! unless desperately looking for something and only if on very big sale (don't pay the full price for 4 hours of unchallenging gameplay!)
Besides, I found the music boring and too repetitive and I didn't like the main character voice acting.
Graphs were ok but not fantastic.

Not a bad one, I liked the story and the fact you learn a little about Norse mythology.
The Hidden Object scenes are correct, maybe a little too obvious and the puzzles, while being iterations or others we can see in other HOG, were slightly different than usual, avoiding the feeling to redo something you already did a lot of times.

Now not everything is perfect, some angles for the puzzles were making the resolving complicated, such as the one with the mirrors and the rays which (honestly) drove me mad. I spent a lot of times on some other puzzles not because they were difficult, but because the art or angle of choice was making it more complicated than it should have.
The end, for both the main and the side story were really too abrupt, I wasn't expecting a lot more, but even a few sentences from any of the side characters would have helped, rather than just an abrupt THE END screen 2 seconds chrono after your last action.

Also I want this toad to be taken back where it was, bullying a poor toad who was living a happy life near the purest water only to have it eating glowing bug you wouldn't touch yourself and dropping it in a scary room in the underworld only because it's convenient for you as it now glows is toad abuse, I tell you.

If you like Hidden Object Games (seek and find, puzzles, point and click), then games from Artifex Mundi are for you. This one has its fair share of annoying mini games and nonsense hidden object scenes (click for random interactions), but was enjoyable overall.

So it's a hidden object game that's overall decent, but I can't help but find it lazy in every way.
I mean it's a story about archeologists talking with Norse gods and finding it perfectly natural. As in, "oh I won't need to report this to the public, I'm perfectly fine with playing fetch with those guys and skedaddle to another silly adventure."
It also doesn't know what it's about. It starts off as a contemporary mystery game, then switches to a fantasy game without any warning. At some point it's also a game with a pirate boat. At another it's a game about zombies. Puhleaaaase...
The minigames are moderately enjoyable (it's still the same codebase and principles as in 90% of Spark Engine games), the hidden object scenes are better than average and they neither punish you or ignore your mindless clicking. But really, for a story-focused game, I'm rarely seen worse than this.
The best proof is the fact that both endings (main game and bonus chapter) are ridiculously short. I think the bonus chapter's is basically 10 seconds of seeing an old face become young again, and... credits. Yay.
The lack of emotional involvement on the part of the developers and writers compels me to give this a negative review. I don't remember being that disappointed with the first game in the series, although I don't remember much about it either.

So, off you go, waste your time on this if you've played everything game, otherwise forget about it for now...
