    Overall the second episode of The Council was one that has its up and downs. It’s a great murder mystery to solve and the use of your investigation skills is something I thoroughly enjoyed. The Bible references did seem to drag on for 20 minutes or so until I figured out the riddles and puzzles, but all in all it’s a good addition to the series.

    It's simple, i am just finished ep 2 and definitively for me "It's THE GAME OF YEAR". It's better than "life is strange" and all "telltale… A perfect mixt between adventure point and click games and rpg, my two favorite kinds. BRAVO

    Great second episode of this great game. I have no idea why it's so quiet about this fenomenal game, for me personally it's better than telltale games I've played or even LiS. I really can't wait for the next episode!

    The game could be tough to solve and too hard for some people and might make it less fun. not for everyone.

    Even the high-fidelity visuals are marred by an inconsistent framerate and terrible animations and transitions.

    The mix of story-driven game, history and RPG gameplay elements is working pretty well but The Council Episode 2: Hide and Seek is never surprising nor impressive, for it is riveted to its base formula.

    The interest within the argument in this second episode, Hide and Seek, descends in comparison to the first one. The weight of the story relies more in the puzzles and riddles than in the really interesting part of the game: the historical and distinguished guests.
