    The game's story is generally well-received, with many players appreciating its strong narrative and engaging puzzles that drive the plot forward. While some found the main storyline predictable and lacking depth, the inclusion of a bonus chapter added extra content, albeit with a twist that felt disconnected from the main narrative. Overall, the story is described as decent, with a mix of enjoyable elements and some criticisms regarding character development and predictability.

    • “The story is strong with this title, something I found to be a pleasant surprise.”
    • “It's beautiful, the story is cohesive, and there's a lot to do.”
    • “Great story, great art, great music, great puzzles.”
    • “However, the story is boring (aggravated by the fact that the writers clearly showed that they were very proud of it). The ending sequence is just as short as any other hidden object game around here, and I was appalled by the fact that they made the geek character the villain, without any depth to him.”
    • “This villain, the plot of the game, and basically everything else here wasn't funny to me. When nothing is actually good, these games had better be 'so bad they're good' or they're a complete wash.”
    • “The story is predictable, but decently laid out, and I liked the inclusion of backstory clips you can collect.”
  • graphics5 mentions

    The graphics in the game show a mix of improvements and limitations; while character design has become more vibrant and lively compared to the previous installment, the overall graphical style remains inconsistent, with low-resolution assets and a simplistic interface typical of mobile ports. Despite these drawbacks, the backgrounds are noted for their cheerful and colorful presentation, enhancing the visual experience.

    • “And the game improved also in terms of graphics: they're better; the characters seem more alive than in the first game. Despite being in a winter setting, the backgrounds are quite cheerful and colorful, making it feel less outdated.”
    • “As with most mobile ported HOGs, there's a simplistic interface, locked/unchangeable screen resolution, next to no customizability, and somewhat low resolution graphical assets.”
    • “Overall, the graphical style was not always consistent.”
    • “However, better graphics don't mean that you can put everything in a hidden object game.”
  • gameplay5 mentions

    The gameplay features decent mechanics and puzzles, but is heavily reliant on repetitive point-and-click actions that many players find tedious and unengaging. This repetition detracts from the overall enjoyment, leading to frustration and boredom rather than a fulfilling experience.

    • “Good game, the story is decent and it has nice mechanics and puzzles.”
    • “However, I would still hesitate to recommend the game even to that sort of person, since the point-and-click mechanics make up the vast majority of the game, and this is one of the easiest and least enjoyable hidden object games to me in terms of point-and-click gameplay.”
    • “I'm fine with that kind of gameplay on its own, but when I have to repeat the same exact mindless action not 3, but 10 or even 20 times in a row, I start to get annoyed.”
    • “But recurring elements of gameplay either frustrated me or bored me to tears and ceased to be fun, which threw a wrench into the whole experience.”
  • music3 mentions

    The game's music is highly praised for enhancing the overall atmosphere and fitting seamlessly into the narrative, contributing to a great storytelling experience alongside impressive art and engaging puzzles.

    • “Overall though, the game has great music and atmosphere.”
    • “Great story, great art, great music, great puzzles.”
    • “The soundtrack also improved and was way more fitting into the story.”
  • humor3 mentions

    The humor in "Where Angels Cry: Tears of the Fallen" falls flat, with users noting that the villain and plot lack any comedic elements, rendering the experience unamusing. Instead of being entertainingly bad, the game fails to deliver any humor, leading to a disappointing overall impression.

    • “A lot of times, at least these bad storylines can get me laughing.”
  • grinding2 mentions

    Overall, players find the grinding aspect of the game to be mostly positive, despite some frustrations with tedious minigames and unclear tasks. However, the hidden object scenes, which often feature only one item at a time, can become particularly time-consuming and monotonous.

    • “My only complaint is that sometimes they have hidden object scenes where there is only one thing at a time, which becomes tedious and time-consuming.”
  • atmosphere1 mentions

    The game is praised for its excellent music and immersive atmosphere, contributing significantly to the overall experience.

    • “Overall, the game has great music and atmosphere.”
