- “The story, graphics, music, and atmosphere were good.”
- “A very good hidden object game with challenging puzzles, neat characters, good voice acting, and a clear and engaging central story line.”
- “Writers brought this up a few times, but it didn't matter in the overall story.”
- “It was a decent point and click, long enough, and decently animated, but the story was meh, the voicing was meh, and the mini games were less than meh - I even skipped some 'boss battles' which I almost never do, but even with the instructions I could not figure out what I was supposed to be doing or if I was doing it right.”
- “Despite its sci-fi sounding title, Myths of Orion: Light from the North is actually a typical fairy tale fantasy hidden object game, with a surprising story approach: our tale starts after the big evil sorcerer already won and devastated most of the kingdoms.”

The graphics in the game are generally praised for their high quality, with many reviewers highlighting the beautiful, colorful, and detailed hand-drawn artwork and character models.

- “✅ Gorgeous-looking, colorful, and detailed hand-drawn background artwork and character models.”
- “I want to mention that the visuals in the game are nicely done.”
- “Beautiful graphics.”
- “I'm photosensitive, so it gives me instant headaches and obscures the already murky graphics of the search area; though maybe that is why they did it.”
- “Said murky graphics and reusing items and even artwork from other games.”
- “The game’s biggest selling point is its astonishing visuals, but I fear that the developers put too much effort into the graphics, because the genre-defining hidden objects scenes are suspiciously rare and rather weak in design.”

The gameplay in the hidden-object games reviewed is generally solid, featuring intuitive puzzles and various modes for hidden-object scenes, complemented by appealing graphics and music. While the gameplay duration is relatively short, with a focus on traditional point-and-click mechanics, the inclusion of achievements offers some replayability. However, issues like excessive backtracking can detract from the experience, though a helpful map mitigates this concern.
- “Fairly good hidden-object game, with relatively smooth gameplay, typical but intuitive puzzles (mostly), hidden object scenes of various modes (search by object name or silhouette), nice graphics and music, and not a bad voiceover.”
- “Gameplay will likely last only an hour or two as the game is really not difficult, but newly added achievements may add to some replayability as you need to finish the game at least twice to get all of them.”
- “Myths of Orion is a beautiful hidden object game with a fluid gameplay, a surprisingly grim storyline, and lazy hidden object scene design.”
- “Therefore, it is up to the traditional point-and-click gameplay and the conventional puzzles to carry Myths of Orion, and for the most part, they do a decent job—although, as usual for Cateia games, the backtracking reaches epic proportions, but thankfully the map reduces this problem to a mere nuisance.”

Many users express frustration with the repetitive nature of the gameplay, ultimately resulting in a loss of interest.
- “I love hidden object adventure games, but this is hidden object after hidden object. There's not a lot of adventure; it's so padded out with hidden objects that it just got tedious. I have played it before and eventually gave up. I tried it again and ended up doing the same thing.”
- “There are some boss fights, and I think they are quite tedious.”
