netjakA game that all serious puzzle fanatics were waiting for. It offers evil, sadistic brain exercises, which will prove challenging even for the most experienced gamers.
-
The adventure game for hardcore adventure enthusiasts – it’s a long and tough trek, but a journey worth taking if you can look past the rough edges.

Cheat Code CentralPuzzle freaks only need apply - unless you're prepared to use a walkthrough.

Computer Games MagazineContains some of the most fiendishly difficult puzzles imaginable. Even after you understand the solution to many of them, you will probably tear your hair out in frustration trying to solve them. [Mar 2004, p.76]

The developers did a great job improving the story in Mysterious Journey II, but I was still left as frustrated with the puzzles as I was in the original.

One big graphical and phonetic experience. If you like to solve logic-based puzzles and didn’t play hooky during your math lessons then this game really is a must. But be aware; besides your own calculation skills, this game requires quite some capacity from your computer and video card as well.

It's filled with lots of arbitrary, convoluted, brutally tough puzzles, though. In fact, you could say this is really a puzzle game masquerading as an adventure game.

Computer Gaming WorldThe environments, while beautiful, are disappointingly void of interaction, and the story, while interesting, is wholly irrelevant to the gameplay. [Mar 2004, p.81]

While the game is well designed and looks pretty good, it is incredibly hard and has some performance issues. An adventure game should be challenging, but not require a Ph.D. in astrophysics to beat.
-
Sadly, the largely static emotion of the narrative and the inconsequential nature of the puzzles don’t flesh out the story to great effect, turning this game into just an average game, rather than a great one.
