Queen’s Quest 2 offers a charming, fairy-tale-inspired narrative centered on an alchemist investigating a murder, blending classic folklore characters in a whimsical, if sometimes uneven and light, mystery. While the story is praised for its engaging premise, steady pacing, and enjoyable fantasy elements, it tends to falter in the third act, feeling rushed or inconsistent. Overall, it provides a pleasant, accessible storytelling experience that appeals mainly to fans of hidden object adventure games rather than those seeking deep or complex narratives.
- “Queen’s Quest 2: Stories of Forgotten Past, developed by Brave Giant Ltd and published by Artifex Mundi, is a charming and intricately crafted hidden-object adventure that blends mystery, fantasy, and classic fairy-tale elements into a cohesive, visually rich experience.”
- “The story follows a talented alchemist who is summoned by the king to investigate a mysterious murder that threatens the stability of the realm.”
- “The inclusion of well-known mythological and literary characters could easily have come across as gimmicky, but here they are woven cleverly into the plot in ways that make sense within the alchemist’s world.”
- “The story is all over the place, I didn't enjoy it much; however, the gameplay is nice, as well as the artwork.”
- “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.”
- “To the writer’s credit, the story almost manages to keep all of this together coherently up until the last act, where it feels like the roaring head of a deadline resulted in rushed decisions.”

The graphics are widely praised for their high-quality, detailed artwork and vibrant, colorful scenery, particularly in fantasy and forest settings. While some mention minor issues like simplistic interfaces or character style inconsistencies, overall the visuals are considered beautiful, immersive, and a strong highlight of the game.
- “The visuals are lovely, especially the forest scenes: lush and colorful with great detail.”
- “The artwork is top notch and the hidden object scenes are dense enough to create a bit of a challenge.”
- “The graphics is great, the scenery is both well designed and colourful plus the fantasy setting makes it even better.”
- “As with most mobile-ported games, there's a simplistic interface, locked/unchangeable screen resolution, next to no customizability, and somewhat low resolution graphical assets.”
- “Well, that still doesn't forgive the many anachronisms, leaps of faith, 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.”

The music is generally praised for enhancing immersion with a gentle, atmospheric, and fitting fantasy soundtrack that complements the game's tone without becoming repetitive or overwhelming.

- “Accompanying the visuals is a gentle, atmospheric soundtrack that enhances immersion without overwhelming it.”
- “The music blends soft fantasy melodies with subtle ambient effects, creating an audio backdrop that perfectly suits the game’s enchanted tone.”
- “I kept the music on for the whole game because it never felt repetitive.”
- “Queen's Quest 2 did the unforgivable: it stole a song from the Witcher 3 soundtrack, namely 'King Bran's Final Voyage' by Marcin Przybyłowicz, which here is used in all of the scenes with the king.”
- “I almost wish they had a soundtrack for this game you could get as an add-on.”
- “The sounds and music are standard, but solid.”

While not groundbreaking, these thoughtful additions make the experience memorable and enjoyable for fans of the genre.

- “In addition to standard point-and-click exploration, the game introduces an alchemy mechanic that allows players to craft potions and transform themselves into different creatures to overcome obstacles.”

- “Good game, could use more consideration for gameplay and player motions.”
- “There are some crazy ones towards the end though, which require luck mostly and feel they are just there to prolong gameplay time.”

- “Accompanying the visuals is a gentle, atmospheric soundtrack that enhances immersion without overwhelming it.”

- “I'd go as far as saying that qq2's atmosphere at times manages to feel as 'Neil Gaiman lite,' which is, in my opinion, already a huge compliment.”
- “The voice acting and narrative tone may not appeal to everyone, and some players might find the difficulty too gentle, but these are small compromises in a game that prioritizes atmosphere, flow, and charm.”
