    Short version: 92% Mystery of Unicorn Castle 2 is a game that vastly surpasses the sum of its parts. The seemingly stock story, the almost-familiar level design and atmosphere, the carefully crafted hidden object scenes all come together as one of the best hidden object games on the market. Long version: Mysteries of Unicorn castle was a forgettable, old-school hidden object game that only caught interest with the challenge of some of its hidden object scenes. The official sequel, The…

    I really do love a good hidden object game and I decided to play Mystery of Unicorn Castle: The Beastmaster because it was recommended to me. It was a fun game to play, with a decent story and good gameplay along with nice artwork and decent voice acting. Something about the game, to me, felt like it was trying to hard. Some of my issues with the title are nitpicks, and it is, overall, a solid hidden object game that I even played twice for both endings. I will state right now that you can play…

    fun game if you like point and click. A little frustrating every time you try to get into the 'toolbox' on the lower edge it toggles between going back a room and your items. Other than that irritation with the interface the game was quite fun to play. Only got truly stumped on the game where you order numbers.

    One of the best Hidden Object games on Steam. Good graphics and cutscenes, challenging puzzles, detailed map so no backtracking is needed, 4 difficulty settings, in-game achievements and other extras. The choices taken throughout the story will determine the ending and this gives this game a lot of replay value...and it's also a nice change from other titles. The HO scenes are very interesting with lots of little details moving in the background, it makes everything less stagnant.

    The game is pretty long (which would be a good thing if it wasn't very tedious at times) and the story and soundtrack are just ok. But what actually made me give this a negative review was a game-breaking bug right at the end of the game, in which you can't obtain a key item to finish the game, and the only apparent solution to it is "starting the game all over again".

    I really want to like this. It's pretty, the puzzles are decent if derivative, and the voice acting isn't bad... but it's incoherent. A modern detective is searching for a little girl who has been kidnapped to a fairy tale, magical kingdom that apparently sits squat in the middle of modern-day Earth? Ghosts inhabit medieval smithies littered with modern hardware and safety equipment? The magical-meets-modern thing has been done successfully in these games, but there isn't even an attempt at an…

    It is a surprisingly good hidden object game. Except 2 puzzles acting a bit weird I haven't encountered any other issues and unlike most HOGs it actually took me a decent amount of time to beat (about 3 and half hours, Steam didn't count my playtime correctly). What I really liked is that for some actions the game gave you the choice of of being "good" or "bad" as being able to choose is not something you usually see in this kinds of games. Works fine with Proton 7.0-4. I couldn't get it…

    (Credit to M for throwing this game at me.) A game that was definitely worth a throw. I played it because the title was silly. Okay... I played it because it was a H.O.G. and............... I actually really liked it. The feel of this one is different from the ones I normally play. It's between newer and older games. You don't just stick to one or two areas and advance... You utilize them ALL. Not at once though. There is no backtracking needed as the map will teleport you. And well…

    The graphics are alright, the puzzles tend to be on the easier side as far as HoG/puzzle games go. The find and click puzzles, however, can be a bit difficult and contain a lot more interactive searches where you have to do extra things with objects in the picture to then find the one on the list. My biggest complaint with this game though, is how terrible the inventory is. There's no button to just bring the inventory up and scrolling over it results in it flipping out half the time and…

    I've played a decent number of Hidden Object Games now, and this is one of the better ones. It's more like a point-and-click inventory-management hybrid than a straight up HOG, with a lot of using and combining objects required, and it has a couple tough puzzles in it too. It's not *quite* as cheesy as some of these games, although there's the usual young child in danger, ancient evil to be defeated, something rusty that needs oil, and tons of lock-and-key busywork. And just look at the…

    I played this on advanced mode and it took me almost 7 hours including bonus play. Good value for money. I found this a pretty average HO game. There is replay value if you want to be a nasty person and not help anyone. Graphics were good, but HO scenes were darker and objects hard to find. I got through most without a hint, but I had to be patient! Music and storyline were adequate. The inventory was very buggy and hard to keep open at times to grab an item. If you click at the wrong…

    This is a run-of-the-mill hidden object game. The story is generic. The music and sound design are decent. No steam achievements. There are in-game trophies. So many are missable. To get those, you may play it again (I didn't). Overall, puzzles are good. But hidden object scenes felt underwhelming. Superb fast-traveling system and the map also shows area of interest effectively. This is a collector's edition. So, you will get some bonus items like screenshots and music tracks (which can be…

    Very good hidden object game with a male detective as a protagonist - quite unusual! The story isn't anyhow groundbreaking, but still enjoyable. A young girl went missing and her trail leads to an abandoned castle where overgrown rats serving an evil wizard have their nest. The wizard wants to absorb her life energy to become immortal and the only way to stop his evil plans is to free the magical Unicorn from his stony prison! As we search for the missing girl on the castle grounds we get to…

    Mystery of Unicorn Castle: The Beastmaster is a mobile app-like hidden object/puzzle/adventure game where you tap on your iPhone screen to locate various hidden objects in various piles of junk. There's a typical fantasy/medieval/haunted dungeon theme, ho hum. This is just more mobile shovelware being dumped on Steam to pollute the place while they make another cash grab for trash. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as…

    Finished in 4 hours. Decent hidden object game with a few minor puzzles to solve. Good to help you waste some time and chill. There is A LOT of going back and forth between screens once you get items to get through an area so you'll be doing a whole lot of clicking to get around. Though, overall, not too bad. If you're bored you can kill some time with this.

    I played this right after playing The Wisbey Mystery, which I liked a lot, and this one is even better, because this is longer and has replay value as I'm certainly going to check what happens when you choose differently in the Karmic Choices. This is also one of the very few hidden object games I have managed to clear without using any hints in the HO scenes, mainly because items are what the list says they are. I got the game by trading away an unwanted game from a bundle, so I'm certainly…

    Another very solid entry into the Hidden Object Game genre from 1c. The game doesn't do anything new but the graphics, sound, puzzles, and HO scenes are all well done. Once again, the game follows the "find a missing person" with "supernatural elements" thrown in, so the story is predicable and familiar too. If you like HOGs, you'll get your fix, and it you are new to the genre, it's a good entry game.

    This is a wonderful game. If you are someone who prefers many puzzles to repetitive hidden object scenes, you will be thrilled with this game. Puzzles are everywhere and of great variety and difficulty. Like other Meridian 93 games, this one offers a lengthy story that is never boring and takes more that just a few hours to complete. Longer and with an upgrade of the quality of the game components makes this easily a favorite. This game accomplishes what I can only hope for in most other HOPA…

    A pretty good casual point-and-click adventure with hidden-object scenes and a few puzzle mini-games. The story won't win awards, but the graphics convey the feel of the world well enough, and the animations especially are a step above what you normally see in this genre. Note that though the game has achievements, they are not linked to Steam's system.

    Not a bad game, not a good game, somewhere in between. It's a nice twist in the story, but not very believable. Not everything makes sence. The puzzles are nice though. I was glad the game was over, allthough I liked some parts of the game, it's just not the best.

    there indeed was a unicorn. However no beastmaster, instead there IS a warlock if that's alright with you. I don't know why they titled this like it's a mystery movie that'll inevitably be way more boring than the title makes it sound and didn't just call it "The Rat Warlock of Unicorn Castle: A Ritual For Immortality". Just as wordy and definitely more eyecatching. Haven't really played any hidden object games, I was recommended to check them out by a friend and picked up a few on sale. This…

    Mystery of Unicorn Castle: The Beastmaster- It's yet another Hidden Object Game, which I do always enjoy, but this one is honestly pretty subdued and dull as they go. It does arbitrarily have good/evil choices thrown in here and there though, and presumably multiple endings, so that's something.

    This is a tough recommendation that I'm honestly on the fence about, but in the end I did enjoy my time with most of the game, so it earned a positive review with some big caveats. First, this game sets you loose in a fairly large map for a point-and-click adventure game, with puzzles late in the game requiring you to revisit many areas throughout the game. I really enjoyed the scope of the game. Unfortunately it feels padded with some hidden object puzzles that feel arbitrary and not fun,…

    Giant rats, a unicorn, and ghosts? Sign me up this is going to be a good time. This game gives you options on how you tackle situations which in a minor way does impact the story ending or how fast you deal with a situation. The options to choose to help someone is a cool feature for a HOG even though it’s kind of funny that if you choose to deny to help you still have to do the task anyways but they just are saltier to you during it. In the settings make sure you turn on the hero's voice…

    I found this to be an interesting and, at times, intriguing game. While it follows the structure of a HOPA (Hidden Object Puzzle Adventure) game, it's a bit obtuse at times in a good way. These games are not linear so sometimes they require a leap of faith in logic, as this one does, but it has an excellent map to help you figure out your options. The story is a familiar one but there are enough plot twists to make this interpretation unique and fun. The HOP scenes are excellent, a lot more…

Somethings made no sense in the game but that is normal in Hidden object games. The game has a detective and voice acting and got it on special for $2.14 which was nice. I think negatives are that the inventory is buggy and also hint does not reload easily takes awhile and game can feel like too much…
