Atlantis 2: Beyond Atlantis

Let me start by clarifying that the sole reason I recommend this game is its very low price. Besides that, it is a bad game with numerous flaws and weak points and only a handful or redeeming qualities. I will also mention that, as you can see in many other reviews, this game is only a botched port of the original. I did check online playthroughs and, indeed, a significant chunk of content (puzzles, cutscenes, etc) is missing. I will focus only on the present version of the game. My main complaint is the convoluted story and its very little connection to the first Atlantis game, which I consider excellent. It feels like a number of ideas for separate games loosely bound together and topped with a forced, pseudo-deep ending. To make things worse, a lot of characters are downright goofy, in a very negative way. Besides all that, I found the Aztec stage very tedious and tiresome. Regarding positive points, the soundtrack can be decent (if repetitive), the scenery is nice and running around gathering items can be somewhat entertaining. A joke I genuinely appreciated was *spoiler* Hell being a bureaucratic service with bored employees. As a matter of fact, that joke is the only good thing I will remember from this game... All in all, for the price of a sandwich and a cup of coffee you can get a few evenings of somewhat pleasant entertainment. If you enjoy adventure games and have zero expectations, I think it 's worth its price.

Квест от микроидс. По классике, минусов нет.

I had played the original Beyond Atlantis II way back when, and I was excited to see a reboot. However, this adaptation is missing all of the puzzles that made this game so challenging and fun to play. In the places where the puzzles should be, it's a simple point-and-click which triggers the cut-scene that would have followed the completion of the puzzle. Without the puzzles, it is simply a rather vague story line, just barely interesting enough to keep the player's focus, but so easy that one will just breeze through the game without any substance. Thankfully, it is such a low price on Steam, so it does not feel like a complete loss, but it was still a letdown for sure.

So weird its good

vägen till gud

Que de souvenirs ! Un must de l'époque.

DON'T BUY IT!!!

I spent 0.89$ on this because it was on sale and it was still not worth that much money
