Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
148 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
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.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
59 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
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).
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The voice acting is absolutely brilliant with a range of accents and voices which are organic and smooth.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
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.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A charming, hilarious and fun adventure with the perfect balance of puzzle difficulty.
Linux compatibility
Players who bring up Linux compatibility mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
For those interested, in contrast to the first game, TBoUT2 works also flawlessly on Linux in my experience.
