The Journey Down: Chapter Two Critic Reviews

Heading towards its finale, this unique game has all the potential of becoming one of the modern games which will be mentioned in the years to come, as the classic and most important representatives of the point 'n' click genre. If nothing goes terribly wrong with the third and final part, it certainly will achieve that.

Chapter Two was worth the two year wait. It’s comfortingly traditional if you pine for the old days, but not laden down with overly elaborate multi-layered puzzles that’ll keep you bashing your head against the wall for hours.

Better than Episode 1 and definitely worth playing.

It took them almost four years, but the guys at Skygoblin delivered a bigger and better episode in their unique episodic adventure game. If you love old-school adventure games The Journey Down 2 is made precisely for you.

If you’ve played the first chapter of The Journey Down, you’ll know pretty much what to expect. But when everything worked as well as it did originally, that continues to be a good thing.

The Journey Down: Chapter 2 is a genuine adventure that releases good vibes. The smooth attitude of Bwana is contagious and brings us into the heat of the story as a partner would lead us onto the dance floor.

The second trip into this relaxed world is still fun, but the locations in the first chapter are more interesting while the puzzles still tend to be too easy.

A very classic graphic adventure, with no particular innovations and a decent storyline.

It took a while, but The Journey Down: Chapter Two is exactly what we were hoping for. Playtime is a tad longer, the graphics are more lively and it has even more Grim Fandango references than Chapter One. The puzzles do get a bit too predictable towards the end.

Nevertheless despite these issues I still found myself enjoying The Journey Down: Chapter Two a lot as it is just a fun, charming adventure that gets the LucasArts spirit pretty darn right.

This chapter got rid of all the flaws from the first one, and the story is kicking off real good. A very pleasant game, let's just hope we won't have to wait another two years to get the next episode.
