Secret Diaries - Royal Wedding

What a lovely time management game in which you have to complete orders, do side objectives, and find the mouse on every level. I love that it has no grindy achievements! It can be completed in around 7 hours.

I love this type of time management games! Completing orders, and cleaning tables after customers left. I can’t still really explain why but it is so addictive. Having extra side objectives makes it even more fun. And you’ll find all that in Secret Diaries – Royal Weddings.

In this entry, you follow Emily, a side character from the first Secret Diaries game. You will also see unfold Jane’s life, who was the main character from that game, but through Emily’s eyes and actions. I thought this was quite clever and gave it a new perspective. I hope we might see this happen more often.

From the Gamehouse games, I like the fantasy-themed games a little better story-wise but that is because I have nothing with societies with upper classes and how they treat less fortunate people. However, I still enjoyed Secret Diaries – Royal Wedding so much. I’m so glad it got to a conclusion instead of a quite open ending/cliffhanger ending. It still leaves room for sequels but it just feels better to have a conclusion for now until the next entry in the series.

Another thing that I love about the Secret Diaries series is the achievement list. they aren’t grindy and most of it you’ll just complete while playing the game. You won’t have to replay levels endlessly to complete the mini-games or get the money to buy an upgrade. I had to replay like 3 levels, just to get the last few achievements.

As long as you always make sure you have cleaned up everything before you check out the customers, do the bonus objective, and always try to find the mouse you won’t have to replay much at all. And if you are missing a mouse, the level select will show you and you can just grab it when it shows up and leave the level. The same with missing a few mini-game entries. Just get them and you can leave the level. The side objectives are different for each level, so for those you might have to replay the level but also on this one, the level select will show you if you missed it on any level. Very convenient!

I give Secret Diaries – Royal Wedding 4 out of 5 stars.
