The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark

Nicht alles ist immer auf den ersten Blick logisch, aber alle Lösungen machen Sinn Stressfreie Unterhaltung die auch durch die Darstellungen vieles der Fantasie überlässt

Easily the most enjoyable modern point and click adventure series in current times. Does away with a lot of the obtuse puzzle solutions from the golden days of the genre but keeps the tone and humor of the best classics intact.

This and the first one are pretty nice adventure games. Good dark atmosphere yet funny. Not frustrating. Not exceedingly easy. And playing effortlessly on Linux is a really good bonus.

...if you can stand the constant barrage of witty one liners. If this doesn't bother you, than this is a good puzzle adventure game, with good mechanics, lovely graphics and music and a decent, but not excellent, interface. I started to use a controller after a while because I was tired of too much clicking.

Very enjoyable follow up to Darkside Detective, quite a step up from the first, admittedly very good adventure game. I like the episodic 'levels', the self contained adventures. It works. Some might prefer an overarching storyline and game, but I really like how this works. Some of the episodes I enjoyed more than others, but they were all very well done, aside from the politically charged reference to the black and tans, in the third episode, which was highly out of place, I thought, the whole game fits together really well. The interface and loading of scenes is quick and responsive. There are plenty of achievements to unlock, the graphics have improved the second time out with some lovely cut scenes. Overall this is an excellent adventure, though I am not sure why the developer chose to have other characters follow McQueen around, as they seem to just be there, and I would like to save when I want to, not autosaves, but that gripe aside I thoroughly enjoyed 100%-ing both adventures.
