The Strange Story Of Brian Fisher: Chapter 2

This pains me to down vote. This isn't a jab at the devs by some disgruntled, angry old fart. I WANTED to love this game. I really like the premise and the graphics were beautiful. This was made with care. I merely want this red thumbs-down to stand out from the positives -- only to serve as a mere warning. The only serious issues I have with the game are: 1. Constant immersion in puzzles distracts the player from the story developing enough to be satisfying or worth the puzzle-solving hype. The first chapter which I LOVED had more side quests and not just general puzzle-solving. I DO love escape rooms and puzzles, but this chapter comes across as disingenuous of sorts. Players should want a developed story and longer game play for $24 which brings me to: 2. Price. I am honestly not sure why this game costs $24. I had about 4 honest hours of game play by which the puzzles are geared for your character who is a child... so I get that, I prefer games where there are no indicators or hints about what I need to put in where (I'm a mental masochist like that), but I cannot justify the price. I am glad that I bought it on sale. I would not recommend this based on the price alone for what the player ultimately gets Again, this review is written with the hopes that the third chapter will be longer, more story-immersive, and challenging like the first chapter.

Amazing game! I had never played these types of games before a colleague from work recommended this one. I bought both chapter 1 and 2 and finished them in the same day without any breaks since I was invested in the story and puzzles so much. I was initially concerned that there would be jump scares because of the vibes in chapter 1, however the games focus on interesting puzzles and building the story of the main character Brian. Definitely recommend both games and can't wait for chapter 3!

great puzzle game but wondering when Chapter III will finally come out ?

A worthy follow up to chapter one in advancing the story and boy what a cliffhanger. The building is well thought out and graphically appealing. Puzzles are logical and not too difficult to figure out. I will admit that the sliders messed my brain. The music adds to the overall vibe of the game. I am looking forward to chapter three to see what happens to Brian

Interessant. Spannend. Leuke puzzels.

I didn't like the first one and this one is just as bad. There are puzzles that "make sense" and there are puzzles that are so far into left field that it just isn't 'enjoyable' to play. I think that a LOT of the problems with these kind of puzzle games is that the people writing the games are obviously very smart and knowledgeable.(No, that isn't the problem). The problem comes from the fact that these 'intelligent' people devise puzzles that are Extremely Complex (puzzles that only people on their level could have a chance to solve). Now, while they are all slapping themselves on the back for devising such Great Complex Puzzles, what they failed to realize is that just alienated 95% of the people on earth! I realized this, the hard way, years ago. I also was a programmer and puzzle designer who wrote puzzle games. My games were Perfectly logical and even more linear than this game, but what I thought were easy puzzles to solve, my friends and strangers that tried to play my games, were not only stumped, they gave up Quickly because they weren't enjoying themselves. SO, the lesson learned is that the puzzles Have to be logical; they Have to be on the same level as the average person on this planet; they have to have some kind of flow and not be some off the wall abstract nonsense. Games Like Talos Principle, The Room, Portal, etc understand this concept perfectly. Unfortunately, this game falls short. So Much So, that I can't even get myself to finish it. I'm going to just delete both Chapter 1 AND 2 from my machine, take the loss, and HOPE that if they come out with a chapter 3 that I'll remember just how bad 1 and 2 were. This game, chapter 1 and 2, had SO MUCH POTENTIAL! It's just a shame that complexity became the focus instead of "enjoyment".

本游戏是该系列的第二部，比起第一部有长足进步。本游戏是去年11月发行的，距今已有一年有余。我这里要特别强调的一点是：最近入手的玩家有福了，比起最初发行的版本，制作方悄悄地进行了升级，游戏增加了四大谜题。我之所以能发现此秘密，是因为在游戏后期遇到了两个推箱子的难题，百思不得其解，之后在bilibili网站上查找视频攻略，看了五六个视频，都没有这两个谜题。这四大谜题所在的位置： 一是在大厅南侧有红绿蓝3个大玻璃缸房间的大门上；二是在二楼北侧走廊尽头靠近小楼梯墙上的地图上；三是为了打开地下室铁栅栏门，需要一个很重的砝码，就在隐藏砝码的小门上（推箱子谜题1）；四是游戏结尾处，苏醒后的成年布莱恩想要进入的小木屋的门上（推箱子谜题2）。这两个推箱子的谜题可谓本游戏皇冠上的明珠，难度超过了其他所有的谜题，我一度都绝望了，解，解不开；查找攻略，因为版本不同，也找不到。没办法，只能硬着头皮一遍一遍的尝试，终于突破了！那种成就感，嘿嘿！

good puzzle game hope to see pt.3

Great 2nd chapter, really enjoyed playing this. The puzzles vary in how challenging they are, the later ones towards the end of the game really get you thinking. Graphics very good, great atmosphere throughout the game. Very much looking forward to the next chapter.

Yes.
