  • story
    21 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story offers a suspenseful, eerie narrative with supernatural elements, featuring new characters and intriguing mysteries that keep players engaged. While some find the plot somewhat clichéd and lighter than expected, enjoyable twists and immersive atmosphere make the experience satisfying for many. The integration of story elements through videos, documents, and environmental details enhances the overall narrative depth.

    • “"Shiver: Poltergeist" from Big Fish Games delivers an enthralling and suspenseful storyline, immersing players in a spine-tingling narrative filled with supernatural twists and eerie mysteries.”
    • “The story is nice enough to keep you going all the way to the end; it looks like the same old clichéd story, and in the end, it kinda is, but it also has some fun twists that make the ride a little more unusual (at the very least, I was expecting less, so it surprised me in a good way).”
    • “You discover the tragic love story behind and in the extra chapter, you discover what really happened when the girl died.”
    • “Couldn't finish the bonus story.”
    • “But I was expecting something darker, so the plot was kind of a disappointment for me.”
    • “The plot is basic: a ghost, well, a poltergeist more precisely, is haunting your manor and you need to find a way to chase it down.”
  • graphics
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are generally praised for their clean, clear, and lovely artwork, creating an engaging and atmospheric environment. Improvements from previous games have reduced frustration, and the visuals effectively complement the adventure and hidden object gameplay.

    • “The adventure play, hidden object scenes and mini-puzzles were quite good and the artwork was a lot cleaner and clearer than the first game which cut the frustration factor out.”
    • “The graphics and audio were nicely environmental, and the gameplay nicely balanced between the HOS, adventure, and story portions -- not quite so heavy on the HOS as in the first game.”
    • “Lovely artwork, graphics, and scenes.”
    • “The only similarity to Shiver 1: Vanishing Hitchhiker is the general look of the graphics and the fact that there are spooky goings-on.”
    • “The graphics were decent and the soundtrack was adapted, so, on that side, it's good.”
  • music
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music and environmental sounds generally complement the game's story and scenery well, creating an immersive atmosphere. While some users felt the music didn't add much, the soundtrack is adapted to fit the game and offers customizable audio options for a tailored experience.

    • “This one is a different story, but it still has the beautiful gloomy atmosphere that I loved from the first.”

    • “The mysterious and spooky atmosphere that pervaded the first game was completely absent, making the experience dull and uninspiring.”
    • “The game lacked a compelling atmosphere, contributing to a grindy experience especially with frequent backtracking due to no fast travel.”

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay offers a balanced mix of hidden object scenes, adventure, and story elements, featuring standard mechanics like object collection and puzzle solving. Environmental graphics and audio enhance the experience, with useful tools such as a flashlight integrated into the interface.

    • “The graphics and audio were nicely environmental, and the gameplay nicely balanced between the hidden objects, adventure, and story portions -- not quite so heavy on the hidden objects as in the first game.”
    • “The gameplay is the standard one in this case: grab objects, use them, clear hidden objects scenes and solve puzzles.”
    • “We will also find a flashlight during gameplay, and it will be placed on the right side of the task bar next to the camera.”
    • “The gameplay is the standard one in this case: grab objects, use them, clear hidden object scenes, and solve puzzles.”
    • “We will also find a flashlight during gameplay, which will be placed on the right side of the taskbar next to the camera.”

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability has been criticized due to persistent bugs since its 2016 release, indicating ongoing issues with developer maintenance and quality control.
