The story in "Queen's Quest 2: Stories of Forgotten Past" is a whimsical blend of various fairy tales, featuring familiar characters like Robin Hood and Little Red Riding Hood, which some players found engaging and enjoyable. However, many reviews noted that the plot can feel uneven and predictable, with a lack of depth and coherence, particularly in the later stages of the game. Overall, while the narrative may not be groundbreaking, it provides a charming backdrop for the hidden object gameplay, appealing especially to fans of the genre.

- “I picked this title up on sale and it was a great way to spend an evening with an interesting story line, a variety of puzzles, and gorgeous settings.”
- “The plot is nice: you're first there for a murder before taking down plotters belonging to fairy tales like Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel, or Robin Hood.”
- “The overall plot is uneven and by the end of the main game (and the entire bonus game) it feels like the devs are mailing it in.”
- “The story is all over the place; I didn't enjoy it much, however, the gameplay is nice as well as the artwork.”
- “Although Queen’s Quest 2 runs out of steam as its story reaches the third act, it is especially suited for those who love hidden object scenes.”

- “Well, that still doesn't forgive the many anachronisms, leaps of faith (seriously, the sheriff of Nottingham's first name is sheriff?! and he's the... king of Nottingham?! and Merlin lives in the same era as he did?), and lack of polishing when it comes to character graphics and integration with the background art.”
- “As much as I liked the artwork, I didn't like the character's style; it looks as if they pasted a real person's photo and animated it, much like the first game.”
