The story in "Endless Fables 2: Frozen Path" is a mixed bag, with some players appreciating its incorporation of Norse mythology and engaging themes, while others criticize it for being thin, predictable, and at times illogical. While the narrative provides a backdrop for the hidden object puzzles, many reviewers noted that it lacks depth and coherence, often feeling contrived or abrupt. Overall, the game offers a decent story experience, particularly for fans of the genre, but it may not satisfy those seeking a more compelling narrative.
- “Really enjoyed the music and Nordic folk tales weaved into the story.”
- “Endless Fables 2: Frozen Path has again become a great hidden object game that consists of a complete package of story, puzzles, and graphics.”
- “With a story built around the Nordic myth about Hod, Baldur, and Loki, Endless Fables 2: Frozen Path is a worthy successor to the brilliant first Endless Fables which was based in Greek mythology.”
- “The plot is nonexistent to the point that the puzzles don't make sense (why does helping Frigg give me a part of a druid's golem's heart? And further, if this is supposed to be Scandinavian, why are there druids? Those are Celtic. Also, they didn't have golems.) Overall, it seemed really phoned-in in a way a lot of other games don't.”
- “The story is often not interesting, puzzles are too easy, and finding the objects is always totally illogical.”
- “The story line was half borrowed, half contrived, and mostly ludicrous.”

- “The whole Endless Fables series just looks gorgeous, graphically.”
- “Stunning graphics, arts!!”
- “As per usual with Artifex Mundi, the graphics are sharp, but not photo realistic; the voices are mediocre, but the puzzles are tough enough to be fun and easy enough to keep the game moving.”
- “I'm not sure why, but the visuals in this game look blurry compared to the newer games published by Artifex Mundi.”
- “There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”
- “The artwork was well done, which was initially the reason I purchased it, but the gameplay left much to be desired.”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its atmospheric qualities and integration with the story, while others find it repetitive and unmemorable.

- “Really enjoyed the music and Nordic folk tales weaved into the story.”
- “Nice music, eerie artwork, great overall game.”
- “Music, like graphics, is at the highest level; there are no complaints about it.”

- “I found the music boring and too repetitive, and I didn't like the main character's voice acting.”
- “Cons: repeatable music becoming annoying at some point, no lore, no journal, very simplistic story, easy mini games and HO scenes, easy achievements.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players noting the reuse of mechanics and a lack of innovation, particularly in puzzle design. While some appreciate the modern graphics and smooth gameplay typical of the genre, others find the experience frustrating due to repetitive mini-games and illogical point-and-click elements. Overall, the game offers a decent length of playtime, but many recommend waiting for a sale due to its perceived high price relative to the gameplay experience.
- “The graphics are modern and the mechanics are among the best.”
- “A very good length of gameplay.”
- “Gameplay: just plain fun, even if a lot of the mini-games are of the same sort as almost every single Artifex Mundi game in existence.”
- “A lot of the mechanics are reused, and sadly, some of the mechanics that get that treatment are the ones that I didn't enjoy.”
- “What disappointed me most other than the light game mechanics were how poorly the characters were utilized.”
- “At least the first 'Endless Fables' had some inventive mechanics, but 'Endless Fables 2' has humdrum hidden-object scenes (and not very many of them), trivial puzzle mini-games, and the point-and-click adventuring somehow manages to be illogical and easy at the same time.”

The atmosphere of the game receives mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its atmospheric soundtrack and graphics that evoke a sense of charm and cultural depth, particularly in relation to Norse themes. However, others criticize the lack of tension and coherence in the setting, feeling that it does not match the game's intended tone. Overall, while some find the atmosphere engaging, others feel it falls short compared to previous installments.
- “I do like the atmosphere of the game and do recommend it, but some puzzles.”
- “The graphics are good, the scenes are atmospheric, the puzzles are a normal level of 'why is everything in this world locked with symbols??'”
- “Either the matter is in the gloomy atmosphere, or in the national charm that accompanies every game in the series; it is difficult for me to explain, but this is a fact.”
- “No story to speak of, point & click 'puzzles' that are the equivalent of paint by numbers, the setting - unlike in the first - evokes neither atmosphere nor tension, the art style does not fit the theme at all.”
- “Either the matter is in the gloomy atmosphere, or in the national charm that accompanies every game in the series, it is difficult for me to explain, but this is a fact.”
- “This chapter of the Endless Fables series leads us to the northern part of Europe and aims to create an atmosphere of Norse culture and faith.”

The game has low replayability, primarily offering an extra epilogue chapter and an option to replay with alternate hidden object scenes after completion. With a playtime of around four hours and a price of 15 euros, many players feel the lack of substantial replay value is a drawback.
- “Replay value is not really there sadly, but you do get an extra chapter once finished (epilogue). If you want to do a second run-through to play with the alternate hidden object scenes, you could do that as well.”
- “4 hours long game, no replay value, and 15 EUR.”
- “The replay value for the game is low.”
