Artifex Mundi sp. z o.o. is one of the best Puzzle/Hidden Objects developer I've found so far !

You may think like me that "Grim Legends 2: Song of the Dark Swan" can be the sequel of the first game Grim Legends: The Forsaken Bride. But the story is really independent, the only link between them is that each of them relate a grim legend.

The story is very good and graphics are awesome. The puzzles and hidden objects scenes are fairly shared.

The game features an inventory where you can store items to combine with the environment to go deeper in the story. In the game you will also find several animal fellows and one spirit that will help you through your adventure.

The game have several difficulties and have a guest feature : all the family can play the game and resume it where they left. There is also a map which is useful to fast travel through the different places and that can have some hints if you play in an easier mode. Also you can use the Hint/Skip hourglass whenever you want and wait until its refill to use it again. But be warned that you may not skip or use a hint in any puzzle or hidden objects scene if you wish to have some achievements. It's also the case for not skipping the first ten cut scenes while playing the story.

There is a wide choice of puzzles and there are two kind of Hidden objects scenes. The first Hidden objects scene features the name of the objects to find some are found easily (normal one) and some others need you to interact with the environment or to combine two items to found them. The second Hidden objects scene let you find the shape of the objects in the scene and sometimes ask you to use them in order to obtain the others.

(*) :
The game has some achievements that can be missed even some collectibles related achievements and also some challenging achievements including finishing the game on hard mode. There is a guide on steam that will help you to not miss any of these achievements. The challenging achievements require you to finish a puzzle or an hidden objects scene or a domino game under a minute. And two achievements require you to find 3 objects in 3 seconds or find all objects without any misclick in the hidden object scenes.
