One of the first puzzles you'll have to solve involves finding your wallet so you can go to work. The game fails in this regard and, at times, fails horribly.
After all, the graphics and interface are just vehicles to convey those puzzles and the storyline bits are part of the reward for solving them. Flashy graphics, an intuitive interface and a good plot, although important, are secondary to logic puzzles in old-style point-and-click adventure games. But, unfortunately, Phantasmagoria 2: A Puzzle of Flesh drops its mature themes like a sack of hot potatoes and because of this and a problem with the puzzles, the game is an unrewarding experience.Īn adventure game needs to have puzzles that make sense. Mature themes can be great and releases such as the Gabriel Knight series use them to create very compelling gaming experiences.
Phantasmagoria 2: A Puzzle of Flesh is the second game in the Phantasmagoria series and is part of Sierra's turn to more mature themes in adventure games.
