[h1][b][u]BottomLine at the Top:[/u][/b][/h1] ExcellentA+FantasticThumbsUpDukeOFNEWYOKRKallthesuperlatives awesome game! Extremely recommended. [h1][b][u]Intro:[/u][/b][/h1] Back in the day it was super exciting when a new Sierra Online or LucasArts point n' click game was released or if you came across one you hadn't heard of before. Because you just knew that it was going to be an awesome gaming experience. I feel that same way today when I see a new Pn'C released by Raw Fury or Wadjet Eye. So naturally I just had to pick this one up when it was released! [h1][b][u]Pros:[/u][/b][/h1] -This has, by far, some of the best animation I have seen in a Pn'C Game. Excellent sprites and the cutscenes were just amazing -Like its predecessor this game has an excellent cast of professional voice actors -Gorgeous background designs. -Great writing. Story is coherent and follows the first game nicely -Nice quality of life features (double click fast travel, hotspot identifier key, lots of save slots, notebook that keeps track of current objectives, game also has plenty of subtle hints). -Excellent puzzles that have good flow. No real moon logic puzzles to speak of or lots of "wtf do i do now" -Lots of interactivity. Having lots of things to click on and interact with make Pn'C's feel much more immersive and interesting. [h1][b][u]Meh...:[/u][/b][/h1] -Took about 7 hours to complete the game with half the steam achievements unlocked. I think this is fine as the game was very engrossing and I basically wanted to play it straight thru. Only listed in "meh" as I know some people dont like the price to hour ratio (but again i think this is a dumb complaint for this game) [h1][b][u]Cons:[/u][/b][/h1] -I think my only real complaint is that I wasn't a fan of the "one click to do everything" interface for this particular game. Love me a good icon bar or right-click context menu. Sometimes I just wanted the "look" response and not to commit the action. Also, interacting with the inventory and selecting items to use in the real world felt a little clunky at times. [h1][b][u]Final Thoughts:[/u][/b][/h1] Its very encouraging that the first title did well enough they felt that a sequel would be appropriate. And I truly hope this one does well enough that a trilogy would not be out of the question ;) . A very highly recommended title for any point and click adventure game afficionado!

Отличный квест. Создатели сильно выросли с момента выхода первой части (хотя её я проходил до Director's Cut), эта мне понравилась куда больше. Решать загадки было одно удовольствие, а инвентарь не вызывал абсурдных тупняков. Детективный сюжет, понимая некоторую изюминку, очень хорош, слаб я на такие истории с щепоткой таинственности и мистики. Я даже вёл у себя в телефоне записку с жертвами, персонажами, местами, и это реально помогало мне в расследовании. Было клёвое ощущение, что распутываю клубок, и это приносило удовольствие. Пиксель-арт отменный, все локации, предметы понятны, органичны, пиксельхантить с лупой ничего не нужно, но и нарочито ничего не выделяется, всё на своём месте. Поставленные срежиссированные катсцены очень стильные и впечатляющие, очень вкусно на них смотреть. Музыка отлично прибавляет атмосферы, но особенно не выделяется ничем. Озвучка персонажей хорошая на месте. В результате имеем, на мой вкус, одну из самых классных Point&Click адвенчур нашего времени. Надеюсь, создатели будут делать ещё, все предыдущие игры мне понравились.
