What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Overall until the end, the story is better paced and you can feel this time around like you're on an adventure that makes more sense rather than just put together at the last minute as I felt with the first game.
The characters are unique, interesting and lively, and the graphics are gorgeous without putting too much strain on a computer (as a laptop gamer, I especially appreciate this as there is nothing sadder to me than a game I really want to play with specs that my computer can just about manage with lags).
The voice acting is absolutely brilliant with a range of accents and voices which are organic and smooth.
Original Book of Unwritten tales was a complete surprise - it was released at the time when it seemed that comedic adventure games were truly gone there was that game, looking good, voice acted good, with a restrained amount of pop references and very strong self identity and pretty good gameplay.
A charming, hilarious and fun adventure with the perfect balance of puzzle difficulty.
For those interested, in contrast to the first game, TBoUT2 works also flawlessly on Linux in my experience.
