After the Nightshift Code, PlayFirst releases the sequel to this hidden object adventure with Nightshift Legacy: The Jaguar’s Eye. In this game, you again get to meet with the original characters, Mike and Isabel in a new storyline filled with greater dangers and mysteries. But how does the installment fare when it comes to gameplay? Well, that’s what we aim to figure out in this review.

The story of the game starts with both heroes of the Nightshift Code still together exploring jungles in search of missing and hidden artifacts. This time around, they chanced upon the discovery of the Jaguar’s Eye Codex, which is supposedly to bring unrivalled power to the person who owns it. However, this discovery also opened up dangerous encounters for the duo, ending also in the involvement of Isabel’s relatives. Somehow, Isabel’s past and the Jaguar’s Eye are connected to each other too, but what that connection, however, is what you’re here to find out.

Just like the original game, Nightshift Legacy: The Jaguar’s Eye is a hidden object adventure where you are tasked to find listed objects serving as clues to further develop the game’s storyline. A classic hidden object gameplay is employed in every scene and you have to find all clues before you go to the next level. But what sets this game apart is really not the gameplay because there’s really nothing new about classic item finding. What’s really significant in my opinion is the game’s story, but before we discuss that, let’s talk about the mini-games first.

In this installment, you also get to witness several unique mini-games that are sure to keep you interested in all the game’s developments. For example, instead of just the usual jigsaw puzzle you encounter on other hidden object games, this time, the puzzle pieces can overlap each other too. This means that other than just placing the pieces on their correct locations, you also have to set their layers, thus adding more challenge to the gameplay. The other mini-games are just as unusual, making them more difficult but definitely more enticing to play.

Just as I said earlier, the greatest feature of Nightshift Legacy: The Jaguar’s Eye is its engagingly deep storyline. It’s so much fun to follow through the development in Mike and Isabel’s adventure that you’ll keep looking forward to the next installment of the story. Good thing that after every level, the storyline is given a new development, and considering the length of this game, you’ll also get your fill in deep mystery especially in the part where you’re trying to string past events together in search for a connection to the Jaguar’s Eye.

Overall the game is awesome in terms of presentation. All the sceneries are nicely presented in terms of graphics and the background music blends well to the theme of each level. Of course, there are certain elements that I hope were in the game too, like interactive sceneries and inventory items, but in terms of classic hidden object gameplay, this game is already at the tops. I know it’s quite a disappointment, but during the hours I played the game, I completely forgot about all of that after getting pretty addicted to its very good storyline and challenging mini-games. Maybe in another sequel, we get to see those elements too, nobody knows for sure, but I assure you that the game is still fascinating even without these features coming into play.
