The story of the game, set during World War II, has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it shallow, poorly developed, and lacking excitement. While some appreciated the unique setting and the attempt at a plot reminiscent of an "Indiana Jones" adventure, others criticized its minimal dialogue, illogical progression, and failure to engage players. Overall, the narrative is seen as a weak point, detracting from the overall experience of the game.
“First of all, the game is set in 1942, World War II, and just that detail is something I really enjoy playing a story and being a part of.”
“Even though the story is kind of different from other Artifex Mundi games and is a pretty interesting subject to me, I don't think I've ever played any Artifex Mundi hidden object game that happened during WWII.”
“It's a WWII 'Indiana Jones'-esque 'Nazis trying to get a religious artifact' storyline that, while cheesy, is at least refreshing.”
“Unfortunately, the story was really boring and lacked excitement, probably due to minimal dialogue.”
“That being said, this game definitely takes the cake in how bare-boned a 'story' can be.”
“The plot tried to be there, sometimes, occasionally, from time to time, but not really.”

The graphics in the game are generally well-received, with many praising the beautiful artwork and well-rendered scenes that align with modern standards. However, some players feel that while the visuals are technically sound, they lack coherence and could benefit from more thematic depth related to the game's setting. Overall, the visuals are considered a strong point, though opinions vary on their impact on the overall experience.
“There's nothing wrong with this game on a technical level; it is a hog with all the classic puzzles and object fetching that entails, and graphically the scenes are well rendered.”
“All the artwork and the designs were done beautifully and it is easy to tell a lot of time went into making them.”
“I want to mention that the visuals in the game are nicely done.”
“But outside of that, it's an incoherent mess of locations, art styles, puzzles, and goals.”
“I wasn't impressed by the gameplay or graphics at all.”
“The story & graphics are okay.”

The gameplay is characterized by standard hidden object mechanics, including finding and using items within the same scene, but it lacks innovation compared to newer titles, leading to a somewhat tedious experience. While some elements, like hidden compartments, add variety, the overall execution feels basic and uninspired, with puzzles and item interactions being relatively easy. Additionally, the game is criticized for its short duration, offering only about two hours of playtime, which diminishes its value.
“The mechanics for hidden object parts are well-designed, incorporating newer elements like finding and using objects in the same scene, hidden compartments, and the usual items concealed behind objects. While I don't particularly enjoy the latter, these additions help keep the gameplay from becoming too monotonous.”
“Agent Walker features standard gameplay with hidden object scenes that are relatively easy to clear, along with puzzles that are also straightforward. Players will find items, combine them, and use them to progress through the game.”
“The gameplay offers a variety of mechanics that enhance the experience, making it more engaging than just traditional hidden object puzzles.”
“Just that the mechanics aren't as great as newer titles, despite me liking the story subject...”
“I wasn't impressed by the gameplay or graphics at all.”
“The gameplay was tedious and boring.”
