Skyland is a magical steampunk adventure with a surprisingly touching story and above-mediocre hidden object gameplay.

Skyland's steampunk fantasy world offers plenty of excitement through the adventures of two sisters on the trail of a villain who tries to shake their world to its core. Thanks to somewhat familiar HOG tropes like a crashing airship, exploring some ancient ruins, and even adding some drama through the villain's trial, casual adventure gamers will find everything they can hope for. The story is interesting, the characters are memorable, and the game looks astonishing. What else could we need?
Well, probably it would be nice if the world itself would not be a Xenoblade rip-off, where humanity settled on the body of a giant creature, but you cannot win them all, I guess.

Also, we could use more gameplay. There are too many point-and-click segments with barely any puzzles and hidden object scenes in-between. I admit, those scenes are a joy to play thanks to their fair difficulty scaling, but even then, the main reason to play Skyland is its story and world, not its gameplay.
