Can't play After Day 4
The game was getting good until I ran into Day 4 and went to support for help. Now I can't even open the game to finish it. I have Direct X installed and was playing the game fine, but it now says I need it to play. Now it is just a memory of what could have been.

buggy bug bug
I wish i could give the 2nd game 5 stars but sadly i can't. As with the 1st game, i tested it on both my Windows Xp & Windows 11 machines. Windows XP works great, which should be a no brainer, Win 11 on the other hand oh boy. The cutscene with Brian chatting with Sushi on the Laptop has slow down like no believes. But at least the gameplay works fine, until you come to Chapter 4. It play in Alaska and because of the snow you have slow downs, There is a way to fix apparently but i don't wanna use some tool in the background and of you guys report big problems as well, so i rather stick to me XP machine. Theresa as well a suffer from time to time a crash back to desktop but no slow downs. The Game itself: Better graphics Better sounds Nice story with a plotwist like the 1st one Some very hard puzzles, which are logical if you really think about, but are hard because you didn't talk to everybody, Don't have all objects which are needed and therefore brain doesn't start at all to add an object to another object because he doesn't know what he should do. Yes the first game had this too, but now in the sequal is just getting annoying. For me, is a had love becauseci really like stuff in this game but too many bugs sadly.

Sequel going in some weird direction
DotT looks great, has nice puzzles and there's no pixel hunting for some items like in the previous game. Unfortunately its story took sharp turn in unexpected direction. After simplistic but somewhat grounded adventure/criminal story in R1 with gangsters, murders and mafia money, we're now helping aliens so they could help us save Gina (damsel in distress again, sigh). I'm not against this kind of stories but it just clashes with previous theme too much for my liking.

Nonsensical Puzzles & Cliffhanger Ending
I played the original Runaway long ago, so I was excited to see there were two sequels for this game. I'll admit I don't remember a lot of Runaway 1, but I don't think it was as "meh" as "The Dream of the Turtle" was. The story leaves a lot to be desired. Mainly because it ends on a pretty significant cliffhanger that, as I understand it, isn't really addressed in Runaway 3. Which is a shame because I was starting to get intrigued. Instead it just rolls the credits. There was no indication as to what was coming. With regards to the puzzles, I had to use guides pretty early on. Being an "older" point and click game, the pixel hunt is real. Many times I thought I had inspected or grabbed everything, moving all over the place, going through all the dialog options over and over, only to have the guide tell me that I missed one little item in one spot. The pixel hunt shouldn't be part of the puzzle. Because a few of the puzzles are just like "WTF??" on their own. The "Watch-Fork" on the yacht is the archetypical example. There's no way I would've come up with that on my own. Puzzles should be challenging, sure, but that was out of left-field. It reminded me a bit of Grim Fandango, which to me is the worst when it comes to nonsensical solutions. As far as visuals, I did have some issues right at the start with stuttering cutscenes. A free program called dgVoodoo helped solved that. I thought the art and style was great. Lots of vivid, detailed locations. I thought the dialog was fine, but a lot of the voice acting was average at best. All in all, I spent probably 20-25 hrs actually playing the game. Was I entertained? Yeah. Did I enjoy it? Mostly, I guess. But the cliffhanger and a few bizarre solutions definitely left me disappointed in the end. I bought this game at 80% off. That's the only way it's worth it. Anyway, on to Runaway 3, which I hear is a must better experience.
