sequel to "The Mystery of the Crystal Portal"
This game is the sequel to "The Mystery of the Crystal Portal", and players who liked the first game will like this one, too.
It is a hidden objects game of a different kind: Instead of searching items from a list (or fragmented items), you need to first find in each scene objects you need to interact with (sometimes it is unclear which ones that will be, so be prepared for some "random clicking"), and once you found the object(s) that needs to be activated, it gives you in circles the objects you need to find for it and which you have to drop on it to activate this.
The visuals are beautiful, and there are lots of scenes to explore. The mini-games are fun and not too difficult, and they can be skipped.
You can play it in two modes, which is nice.
As I mentioned before, the biggest downside is often to find the first object that needs to be activated - you get clues from the plot, but often they are not necessarily connected to the objects that you need to activate first.
I would recommend it for players who want a different kind of HO game and who are tired of matching (written) lists with objects.

Great adventure
I loved this game and hope they will come out with more adventures for this character. Very imaginative!

A different type of HOG
In this game, instead of getting a list of words, you get images of the objects you're supposed to find. There is added challenge as the objects might be present in the scene at a different angle than in the image, making it look different. You can hover over the images to get the text for the object, which helped in finding it sometimes.
Play the demo for about 5-10 minutes to get a feel for the game--the gameplay remains the same throughout the entire game. There are some mini-games/puzzles, but they're pretty standard ones I've seen many times before in HOGs, and of average (i.e. easy) difficulty.
I like fantasy settings, so I enjoyed the islands in the sky and undersea locations, even if the art style was just okay to me. Overall, this was a mellow game I enjoyed playing, put my brain in neutral for a while. :)

Enjoyed This One!
I have played the first game in the sequel and am in the middle of this one. True it is different than HOGs that are dark and have great adventure, which I also truly love to play.
This one is quite different, but that's good too. It is relaxing play, challenging, enjoyable, and I like the bubble effect with object pictures instead of the list of objects that is in most HOGs.
I recommend it, was lots of fun for me and a change from the majority of HOGs.

The Mystery of the Crystal Portal: Beyond the Horizon: Skip it!
This is quite possibly the worst hidden object game I've ever downloaded -- and I've downloaded quite a few. It's clumsy, it's slow and it's booorrrring. I'd be happier if I were given my money back or given another game. This one isn't worth my money or my time.

How disappointing!
Played previous game in this series and liked it but this one has too many HO pop-ups in each scene so becomes tedious. Will uninstall before hour's trial ends.

WAITING FOR THE NEXT SEQUEL
Just played the game again. We have another portal and another trip to Atlantis where you?re going to find yet another family member (your dad) and, even though the premise was nothing new, the game was still enjoyable the 2nd time around. Music calming ? I left sound on, though I don?t usually do so. Visuals clear and colorful. No back and forth between numerous locations. When you finish an area, the game automatically takes you to the next location. Instead of a straight HOG, it was generally finding objects that go into a circle ? some objects had to be completed before they could be put into the circle. (Don?t know what that type of puzzle is called, but I like them.) Appears there is no clicking penalty. A few puzzles, not particularly difficult. You could change the border around the scenes by finding enough red gems hidden throughout the game. Probably not too difficult for a novice. There will be a sequel, which I will also be buying.

really good sequel
I really like the mystery of the crystal portal for android and knew there was a sequel. When I saw there was a pc version for the sequel, I had to get it. It's as good as the first. It's the same game, storyline flows on through
