Phantasmagoria 2: A Puzzle of Flesh

SPOILERS. The game is enjoyable at first, in a "guilty pleasure" way. Even with some stupid puzzles (you need a rat to get a wallet from under a sofa - WTF?). But the game gets quite repetitive in later chapters and the finale that takes place in another dimension (resembling Xen from Half-Life) is just epic fail. The final big puzzle is very retarded and you just randomly click on parts of a machine hoping to get it to work. The game is a good example of 90´s interactive movie, but if you want good story, get first Phantasmagoria instead, or rather Gabriel Knight 2

I think people need to remember that games didn't quite have the budget or resources they do today. Whilst I agree the games isn't particularly "adventurous", and there aren't many diverging paths, for it's time it was good entertainment. A mystery story with adult themes, and FMV to boot, seen as a step up from static backgrounds. Going off my memories here, the worst part about this was the story - I remember loving it up until a certain revelation, (I won't reveal what), then it became ridiculous and really ruined the story for me. The acting isn't brilliant, but mostly passable, and the script cheezy, (lets face it - how many games aren't full of cheezy lines), and some of the actions not well thought out, (a fit young dood who can't move a couch - of course this might have been a tutorial to let you know the rat can be used) There was a site devoted to the game which told you how to get all of the easter eggs in the game, plus a bit of background. Unfortunately can't find it at the moment to share :(

I don't care what anyone says. This is one of my favorite games.

A more "mature" version of the first one, more gore, more nudity, more everything. Curtis and Trevor, 90s better OTP.

great game blast from the past
