Atlantis 2: Beyond Atlantis

Difficult game for sure, but the graphics and the soundtracks are wonderful!

It was a very interesting game, for all ages, but it was also quite challenging. Some puzzles were quite hard.

Pretty much an amateur attempt at a puzzle point and click game. Not very enjoyable to try to divine the basic mechanics and obtuse intentions of the devs as to what you are actually supposed to be trying to do.

Honestly this is not worth playing it to the end. While the music is sometimes beautiful and the art really impressive and creative for its time, this game is a pain to play and move forward. Some nonsense has to be done, going back and forth at the other side of the worlds to do certain tasks or remember specific things you would never expected to be useful. So you will struggle and see several (simplistic) guides on the internet to try to figure this out. Moreover, some areas in those worlds can be sooo unclear to move around (forest in Yucatan or the final underwater stage)... I think it is not worth the time and patience do complete it, as the story itself can be resumed at the typical "light VS dark battle", try it if you want but beware of its flaws.

The first game was a frustrating mess of poor puzzles and bad story. So you'd hope they'd improve in the sequel, right? Nope! The story in here is just as bad as the first game, just now it's no longer simple and uninspired, but nonsensical and absurd. None of the characters are memorable or interesting, just existing to give exposition or hints. All the puzzles are frustrating and illogical as well. The music has seen a downgrade as well, with only one of the two composers of the first game returning, and it shows. While never bad or unfitting, it feels extremely lacking in comparison to the first games soundtrack. I don't understand how this one sold well enough for a third game to be made. Stay away from this one, even on sale.
