Vengeance: Lost Love

Ghost stories can always be exciting if they are told at the right moment, not to mention the fact that they must also contain the right type of situations. Not all ghosts are scary, and not everyone is able to tell a story well enough to make the audience happy. On the other hand, video games have it easier in this regard, because they can use imagery as a workaround for a weaker story.

Vengeance: Lost Love is a hidden object adventure game that features a pretty interesting situation, as well as the classic set of gameplay mechanics that’s usual for the genre. If you are intimate with other HOPAs on the market, then this one should feel just as familiar, especially when it comes to how the action evolves from one scene to the next and how you interact with the environment.

The story has Amanda and her fiance James as the main characters, and they stumble onto a mystery after being confronted by the ghost of a miner. As it happens, it would appear that the spirit in question has a lot more to do with Amanda’s family than she thinks. Thus, her brother gets involved in the plot as well, so it should be a pretty exciting experience overall.

Your time is split between investigating each scene for useful objects and using the said objects to fix items and solve puzzles. Even though they look and sometimes feel differently, the puzzles in question always have the same concept at their core, which is very annoying. To put it simply, it’s all about moving certain objects to obtain a pattern, although there are a few exceptions in there as well.

Probably the least disappointing and repetitive part of the game is the visual presentation, because every scene is full of detail and hand-drawn to create a pressing and scary atmosphere. Granted, you probably won’t remember the landscapes for more than a few minutes after you see them, but at least it helps a little bit with the atmosphere.

Despite its lack of originality, Vengeance: Lost Love can still be a great distraction for HOPA enthusiasts, especially since it follows the established trends in the genre. Hence, if you enjoy the rest of the games in the same niche, then this should be satisfactory as well.
