Hidden object games aren't exactly known for being action packed, but Vault Cracker: The Last Safe aims to change that with a storyline that wouldn't feel out of place as the latest Hollywood Summer blockbuster. But while the setting and storyline are a refreshing change of pace for the genre, the actual gameplay is pretty standard fare.

Her son ends up being kidnapped while they're at the airport, and the kidnapper has a very specific demand: for Melissa to complete one last job. If she does that, she gets her son back. The rest of the game is spent following a trail of clues as Melissa uses all of her skills to rescue her son.

When you're presented with a scene you will find certain objects or areas that you can click on, bringing up a list of a few items needed to interact with that object. For example, you might have to find some gas and parts in order to move a lawnmower out of your way, or some tools to open up a crate. Once you find all of the necessary items, depending on the object, something will happen, usually revealing another important item. There are several of these per scene, and several scenes per chapter. Read more...
