    The Adventures of Bertram Fiddle: Episode 2 have you joining Bertram and his assistant in a point-and-click adventure once again. The graphic adventure is actually high quality, humor packed with a host of puns thrown in for good measure. Beautiful visuals and some superb voice acting talent offered already take The Adventures of Bertram Fiddle: Episode 1 to a higher level of enjoymentThe Adventures of Bertram Fiddle: Episode 2 have you joining Bertram and his assistant in a point-and-click adventure once again. The graphic adventure is actually high quality, humor packed with a host of puns thrown in for good measure. Beautiful visuals and some superb voice acting talent offered already take The Adventures of Bertram Fiddle: Episode 1 to a higher level of enjoyment just as in the previous installment. Throw in basic item collection, manipulation, and usage from the genre's standard for good measure, and an intuitive inventory system that takes the chore out of point and click adventuring, just as in the The Adventures of Bertram Fiddle: Episode 1. The light-hearted storytelling remains as do the all the wonderful things I enjoyed in episode 1. In short, once again The Adventures of Bertram Fiddle: Episode 2 deserves a place in any point and click fan’s Xbox digital library. I personally look forward to the next installment in the series for my Xbox One.… Expand

    If you played the first Bertram Fiddle, then you know what to expect: a classic point-and-click adventure with mostly good puzzles, brilliant graphics and animation, and a huge amount of English humor. This second episode is more of the same, and all the better for it. It's longer, with more terrible puns and weird characters.

    On the minus side, the second Bertram Fiddle also doubles up    If you played the first Bertram Fiddle, then you know what to expect: a classic point-and-click adventure with mostly good puzzles, brilliant graphics and animation, and a huge amount of English humor. This second episode is more of the same, and all the better for it. It's longer, with more terrible puns and weird characters.

    On the minus side, the second Bertram Fiddle also doubles up on the first game's shortcomings. Some of the events and characters feel a bit random, tucked onto the story for comedic reasons. Also, like in early versions of the first game, there's a huge amount of minor bugs. None of them was bad enough to break the game for me, but they did make me lose trust in the game and wonder sometimes whether I was stuck because of a bug. And finally, the ending is abrupt and unsatisfying. This game does bring the case of Geoff the Murderer to its conclusion, but that conclusion happens so suddenly that it feels tucked on.

    On the plus side, Bertram and Gavin are as nice as ever, and I grew fond of them over the course of the game. (After playing with my wife, she laughs when I use my Southern European accent to make an impression of Gavin.) The best side of the game for me personally is the way that the puzzles are often clued not through logic, but through oblique puns and wordplays. I'll miss those funny clues in other point-and-click adventures, and I hope that this isn't the last Bertram Fiddle I play.    … Expand

    The puzzle mechanics are very well made and cut scenes are skippable if you so choose but the and you can choose how you would like to play the game as this game is very user friendly, my only gripe being that it can be completed within 6 + hours depending on how you would like to experience the full game, if youre a fan of the point and click genre I would give both episode on and 2 ofThe puzzle mechanics are very well made and cut scenes are skippable if you so choose but the and you can choose how you would like to play the game as this game is very user friendly, my only gripe being that it can be completed within 6 + hours depending on how you would like to experience the full game, if youre a fan of the point and click genre I would give both episode on and 2 of the adventures of Bertram fiddle a try as each individual episode is price at 4.99 which is a cheap indie title, I would love to see a complete release or a season pass to allow players to enjoy a full season but with the skeptical telltale games debacle I can see why each episode is being released individually at separate prices to make sure that gamers get their monies worth and aren’t left out in the cold.… Expand

    After the success of the first episode of The Adventures of Bertram Fiddle, it is great to see that Episode 2: A Bleaker Predicklement does not let the side down, delivering more of the same point-and-click adventuring goodness, complete with sufficient doses of comic relief and some smart puzzling antics. With any luck, a third entry is currently in the works!
