    The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 continues to amaze with its wonderful story, its vibrant world and its classic yet fresh fantasy setting.

    Charming and beautifully absurd adventure that delivers as much enjoyment as its PC brother. It suffers from some technical shortcomings though.

    I'm less hesitant, however, to say this: unless you played the first Book of Unwritten Tales, you'll probably want to avoid The Book of Unwritten Tales 2, since it's not designed with series — or even adventure game — novices in mind.

    Combine the puzzles with top-notch graphics and plentiful entertaining dialogue, and you have something worth playing.

    The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 is a fairly standard point and click game, but it is also a wonderfully written and fundamentally enjoyable adventure that will appeal to both genre veterans, and people simply looking to a good, clean, fun little title.

    The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 is big, even for this genre. The length comes from the classic, old gameplay which is a disappointment. Other point-and-clicks did modernize. The story is funny, but the characters are uninteresting and the dialogue sections are way too long.

    Dialogue between characters can often feel a tad overzealous considering the game's light-hearted approach to comedy, making it hard to recommend to anyone unable to stomach an inoffensive, self-aware fantasy romp of this fashion.

    The PS4 version just isn’t up to the challenge and doesn’t deserve to be played as the PC version is clearly better in every way.

    Even if the controls on the PS4 weren’t so terrible and I could have finished the game on the console, the story and puzzles in the rest of The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 still would have brought the game down.

    I really loved the game. I believe that the bad user score is due to its poor PS4 implementation but I'll try to focus on the game itself.I really loved the game. I believe that the bad user score is due to its poor PS4 implementation but I'll try to focus on the game itself.
    This is one of the best classic point&click games I played in years. I think it is even better than the previous part. Sure, the first game was fresh and charmed me with lovable characters and original humor, but the second one does exactly the same but does a slightly better job with the story. Be prepared for some serious plot twists through the game.
    The game still shines the most when it comes to the humor. The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 makes fun of RPG games and fantasy movies. You will be doing generic fetch quests, you will visit a classic D&D tavern and you will be a teacher in a Wizard School!
