- The unique style and charm of Hidden Folks is more than enough to recommend this game. It’s hard to tell whether it’s the mouth-made sound effects, nifty clues, or funny characters that are the cutest part of the game, but it’s easy to lose yourself in its strange and captivating world for a couple of hours. Assuming the developers add a few more levels to the game to give it a bit more bang for your buck, there won’t be much left to nitpick about.
Daniel Batoff · Feb 27, 2017 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Hidden Folks may be on the short side, and has its occasional hair-pulling moment, but the hefty amount of charm it has in even the smallest individual, combined with some particularly clever puzzle design, make it worth taking at least one quick spin with. Hopefully we will indeed see a surge of more content to up the replay value in the future, but for now the end result is a solid and cute puzzle game that would do Martin Handford proud. If you can’t afford a classic piece of Waldo literature at the moment, maybe consider hunting down a few cute folks.
Kyle LeClair · Feb 23, 2017 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Hidden Folks is really just a long, connected series of smiles earned through its painstaking attention to detail and consistently lighthearted sense of humor. Although it’s technically a seek and find or hidden object game, it should appeal even to players who’ve never been interested in that genre before.
Jillian Werner · Feb 22, 2017 Reviewed onRead full review - Play Hidden Folks. It's just so charming and fun to tap around in this world that feels alive. It's such a simple idea at its core of being a hidden object game, yes. But the artwork, sound design, and the realization of the ambition to create puzzles where you have to find specific folks in the middle of busy, bustling scenes, are all at their peak. Check this game out.
Carter Dotson · Feb 20, 2017 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - All-in-all, Hidden Folks is a wonderful hidden object game that is suitable for everyone and worth checking out.
Christine Chan · Feb 20, 2017 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - A nostalgic blast from the past, anyone who ever used to love Where’s Wally and any books of that type will be thrilled by giving Hidden Folks a go. There are no pressures and no limit to speak of, so it really is one of the more relaxing titles around. The sort of game you just want to sit down and play for a couple of chin stroking hours with a piping hot cup of tea.
Joffy S · Feb 19, 2017 Reviewed on PCRead full review - As a game, Hidden Folks is still just a hidden object game, but as an experience, it's a lot more than that. Its charming presentation really brings every scene to life and layers in a sense of discovery beyond just finding items on a list. This liveliness is so compelling that it's hard for me not to recommend this game, even if you flat-out don't like hidden object games.
Campbell Bird · Feb 15, 2017 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - There’s no reward for your endeavours, no unlockables, and no fanfare; it’s just you and your desire to see everything on the list checked off, so what you get out of Hidden Folks basically depends on what worth you get out of checking off objectives, but that was all we had with our adventures with Wally, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
Nick Gillham · Feb 23, 2017 Reviewed onRead full review - Those who run away at the sound of the words "hidden object game" should actually stay put because Hidden Folks is one of the better ones out there, with its tiny-yet-gargantuan worlds and "mouth-sound" audio effects giving it a unique, playful, and almost magical charm, and the gameplay portion seamlessly blends fun, challenge, and some welcome amounts of cooling off.
Ofisil · Feb 19, 2017 Reviewed on PCRead full review - If you've got the patience for it, Hidden Folks is a puzzler perfect for those who have an eye and ear for detail.
