![]() Many of the puzzles make you move back and forth dozens of times to solve increasingly complicated puzzles. In this game, all that happens is that Shay and Vella switch places, but are still stuck in the same worlds. In the first act everything was new, so even if you moved back and forth a bit it wasn’t so bad. Often you will just give up and rely on the official walkthrough on the developer website, which is also needlessly vague at times.Īnd the amount of backtracking in this game is just mind numbing. A lot of the puzzles are ridiculously vague with convoluted solutions that one can’t even dream of. The first act had fairly simple puzzles and concentrated more on story telling but the second one goes completely overboard. All that is fine but the puzzles are simply atrocious. ![]() It’s still a point and click adventure that has you tapping on things to move around and interact with them and dialogues with other characters are in the form of multiple choice menus. It’s hard to go into details without spoiling it but all I’d say is that the second act lacks the coherence and simplicity of the first act and ends up being a bit of a convoluted mess. The game keeps throwing increasingly less plausible things at you that doesn’t really explain anything and only raises more questions. The first act had this big twist and cliffhanger ending that left a lot of questions unanswered but the second act does a terrible job of explaining it. You’re thrown straight into the second act of the game and if it’s been a while since you played the first act you aren’t going to remember a lot of the things. Now before you start playing this game, I’d recommend you play the first act. After that, Shay gets trapped in Vella’s world and she gets trapped in his. If you remember, Shay and Vella’s worlds finally collide, and after being in different places before, you find out that they are in the same world, and that the spaceship that Shay was on wasn’t really in space and that it was actually just the Mog Chothra. The second act of Broken Age begins right where the first one ended. If you haven’t played it yet, I suggest you do before reading this. With that out of the way, let’s get to the meat of the review.Īs a warning, there are going to be spoilers about the first act of the game in this review. Unlike last time, the game is now also available on Android, and you can download both parts of the game together and those who bought the first part get the second one for free. The second act of the game has been in works for a while now and after a long wait it’s finally here. Initially a Kickstarter project by Tim Schafer, creator of Grim Fandango, the game received positive reception from critics and gamers for its first act. We reviewed the first act of Broken Age back when it launched on iOS around this time last year.
