A hidden object adventure with a steampunk theme. Skyland is developed by Cordelia Games, one of my favorite developers but unfortunately this game is my least favorite of their work. The story starts off after centuries since humans lived on the shoulders of giants, they've left the ground since it became toxic, however living on giants it gave them the privilege to use its energy. One day, the crew of Nightingale was sent to investigate an area where they found large crystals.. with humans trapped inside of it.

I found the story not very interesting although I like steampunk. There are some twists but I still don't get the full story. The main character is not voiced, but her sister sounds as if she was the main character. I liked the character's style and artwork so much. The hidden objects scenes are well made, its rare to find a new game from this genre which doesn't make everything too easy and repetitive. Puzzles were quite easy though.

There is a fast traveling map but you'll only have few areas available for you to roam around until you move to the next batch. if you are after collectibles you must make sure to get them all before finishing the objectives.

Pros:
+Outstanding artwork.
+Steampunk theme
+Very well-done voice over.
+Variety of puzzles.
+Well drawn hidden object scenes.
+Fitting music and atmosphere.
+Fast traveling map.
+Collectibles.
+Bonus chapter.
+Steam achievements.

Cons:
-No journal.

The bonus chapter is a good conclusion to the story, although they didn't mention what happened to most of the characters. If you enjoy steampunk theme adventures and like this genre, pick up this game!
