Still Life 2

Loved the original Still Life and couldn't have been more excited about playing this. But it is shocking. It feels like they ran out of budget before having a chance to finish it, leading to dull repetitive gameplay, bugs-a-go-go and an unengaging story. This mishandling of the resolution to Still Life 1's cliffhanger ending was laughable. Save yourselves the download and save yourself the money, trust me.

I loved the first Still Life game and couldn't resist getting Still Life 2 before it came to GOG.com. It is nice to have a female protagonist who must rely on her wits and strength to survive the game. I enjoyed the first game better, but this is a strong follow up. Unlike the first game, you're investigating and solving mysteries mainly in one location, which I found I bit tedious at times but YMMV. Overall it is worthy sequel to the original Still Life, and I look forward to any additions in the series.

Thanks to GOG for giving me the chance to finish Still Life saga, because I never found Still Life2 in any games shop. Soundtrack and ingame music: amazing Italian dubbing: good Ingame cutscenes: beautiful Plot: quite good 3D graphics: Y U NO used 2.5D? Playgame: buggy I liked this game, but only because I played the previous chapters. The CSI-stuff, the do-or-die sections are funny, but everything is ruined by a bugged (in particular from half game onwards) control system and bad 3D graphics.

Having to resort to forums and walkthroughs in an adventure game really tends to kill the immersion. Finding out that you figured out the puzzle but didn't click on this before that is annoying. Being blocked for not finding an object is no fun, when movements are that clunky and dialogues that inane. Being still blocked even with a walkthrough is a full-range deal breaker. I gave up on the game half-way and watched the rest on Youtube. I enjoyed the story but was deeply disappointed in the gameplay, bugs galore and poor character development.
