After playing and finishing the first game in the past, I finally tried this one and Jane Jensen did a great job with this game. I am not a fan of FMV projects, there are few that are worth trying and this is one of them. I enjoyed the atmosphere, the setting, actors and their performances, it is really an interactive movie. It feels like you are watching...

Strong story invites to return to play forward, which is a clear sign of a good game. The problems prepared for Gabriel and Grace required some thinking. Most of them got solved using logical thinking. Some of them required assistance though.

Finally finished my first play through that I startted more than 30 years ago. I have a distinct memory of talking my mom into buying me this game when I was a kid and our crappy 90s PC could barely handle it and I was clearly too stupid to progress, and now here I am and i feel... well not much. GK2 is somehow one of the most impressive point and click...

Ok so it opens with full-on FMV and I was NOT ready, felt like a completely different game for like the first hour. But I ended up loving the live action thing once it clicked, and the final villain is honestly one of the best in the series.
