    Secret Files 2 gives to the player 20+ hours of fun adventure gameplay and brilliant puzzles. And more than this it can introduce a few of innovative aspects to the genre that the veterans will love.

    Secret Files 2 is a highly-polished, enjoyable sequel that’s better than its Tunguskan predecessor in several key ways.

    Secret Files 2: Puritas Cordis is a fun and interesting game, but unfortunately fails in several important categories. Although it’s technically sound, it loses serious points because of the same old story about the end of the world, but especially because the puzzles that defy the most elementary logic.

Equally as fun (though in parts, equally as randomness with items-you-must-combine to do this), less of a contrived storyline and some nice settings. Puzzles are better, i.e. there are better hints in the game before you begin a puzzle. In both games, it would be nice to have a bit more character humour, they do their best, but needs a more fun character (e.g. George from Broken Sword). Graphics are simple, so lacking in the imagination of say Syberia settings. Overall a fun game that nicely continues the genre, and definitely worth paying if you enjoy the point-and-click games. Doesn't get higher than 7 for reasons of simple settings, dialogue needs to be better, find+combine options sometimes annoying, but the solid 7 is for nice game play, nice music, some nice puzzles, and when character dialogue goes well, it is enjoyable.… Full Review »

    Facepalm galore.

    The amount of stupidity I witnessed per minute is simply breathtaking, from the get go and it never ends. Idiocy    Facepalm galore.

    The amount of stupidity I witnessed per minute is simply breathtaking, from the get go and it never ends. Idiocy culminates in the dialogues and behaviours. I physically brought my hands to my head many times, with a mix of incredulity and sadness, amazed that there exist, somewhere, people who can and do write such drivel. At this level, I'm not sure it's even worth mentioning that there is absolutely zero research in the portrayed cultures and locations.

    The game still manages to be slightly better than its predecessor : First, in the puzzles, where cretinism is replaced with the nonsense we are used to since we have seen it in many point n' click adventures, some of the gameplay is pretty good. Second, if the voice acting is as bad as ever, the protagonists are much, much less annoying.

    The technical quality is very good (despite some sound level issues), and the interface impeccable. Apart from that, most of the flaws of the game's predecessor are still present (reported here for convenience: acting, accents, asinine to infantile dialogues, logorrhea, 100% failed humour, generic plot, moronic motivations, B.S. science, plot-holes...)    … Full Review »
