Best played in English

GK 2 is awesome if you can understand the English speech. There are no subtitles at all. I finished the game many decades ago in German, and for a native German it is hillarious when American actors try to speak as German people. Well, I think a few are actually native speaker. Beside that the plot is very interesting and I think this game aged well, if you like those style of games. It sometimes feels very "real". All in all the English version feels superior to the German version.

Amazing Point'n'Click Adventure

I just finished playing this. Just wow. I was around during the peak of the CD-ROM FMV craze. I have fond memories of such games, but this game is something else. The acting is great for an FMV game from the 90s. The plot is another great mystery for the series, with some tense moments. How I managed to not play this until 2025 I will never know! Only small negatives I can point at the game are: - Low resolution photo-relaistic backgrounds can make pixel hunting for interactive objects hard sometimes. - Game relies on particular sequences happening in order and you can get stuck and not know why because you failed to click somewhere. The above are nitpicks though. This game is amazing. Highly recommended.

Great classic

I'd pay double the price it is currently! Let's hope the new Gabriel Knight 4 Petition is gonna work!

Flawed Classic

Pros: Engaging story, good atmosphere, very interesting historical elements, nice music Cons: Extremely uneven acting quality, pixel hunting, unclear objectives, FMV limits the puzzles Overall this is a very enjoyable game that I found myself excited to fire up. The FMV aspect hasn't aged well though - the game presents more as a standout artifact of its time rather than a truly excellent point-and-click. The muddy FMV textures makes for some very frustrating pixel hunts and can make navigation (knowing where rooms are located) unfun. I kept thinking how much better this story would have been served by a traditional graphical adventure format. The acting is very uneven. Unfortunately, the worst acting comes from Grace/Gabriel, which is problematic. Von Glower and others are actually done quite well. A good, but flawed product of its time. A great little timecapsule that is worth dusting off every 10 years or so.

Ahhh...fond memories of a great game...

Though even back then this gem was a little clunky and rough around the edges, it will forever hold a special place in my heart. Very good story, good enough point-and-click gameplay, and the innovative technical way it was presented in makes "Beast within" an all time classic. The ingame atmosphere is (was?) awesome !! As a German myself I laughed my a$$ off because of the way germans, or more specifically, bavarian people were portraited here. Must find the time to buy and play it again soon !
