Story

120 of 278 sampled reviews raised it
I thought it was a good story to, and unlike some of the other reviewers I rather liked Fenton as the hero.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
46 of 278 sampled reviews raised it
The voice acting was outstanding, the puzzles were moderately challenging but usually logical (as much as adventure games can be), and the cinematic feel was top-notch.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
40 of 278 sampled reviews raised it
The game is based on the same engine as "Secret Files: Tunguska" from 2006, but "Lost Horizon" greatly improves graphics and animations.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
30 of 278 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay itself is excellent, with very few truly complicated puzzles yet, simultaneously, is challenging enough to remain fun.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
16 of 278 sampled reviews raised it
What really helps towards this is that your inventory is cleared for each new chapter, reducing the amount of combinations of objects you need to try when stuck.
