Description
Just when he thought his life was regaining some semblance of normality, Simon's wonder years are once again turned upside down when the evil sorcerer Sordid returns from the grave with only one thing on his mind - revenge!
Sordid reconstructs his Fortress of Doom and sends a magical wardrobe to fetch Simon, but it accidentally ends up on the doorstep of Calypso, the wizard Simon had to save in the first game. Simon then starts to look for a special fuel that can power back the wardrobe and get him home.
Journey with Simon through this inevitable sequel to the best selling Simon the Sorcerer, as he manages once more to get stuck in a land of twisted fairytales, recycled gags and carbon dated clichés!
With a cast of thousands (mostly woodworm) and enough Swampy Stew to keep an underprivileged country sick for a year, this classic adventure will keep you well entertained until we manage to make another sequel.

Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the quality of this release. A classic game of this stature doesn't deserve a "25th Anniversary Edition" like this.
I understand that the new look is criticized, the filter looks very bad and the menu does not look good, but come on, the original game is also included in the price (which is great). The game is still as fun as ever, a great and entertaining adventure
I tried to run the Game, but crashes every time. Support gave me solutions, none of them worked. Now the game uninstalls itself after each crash. Really bad Programming.
Simon the Sorcerer 2 is a great point-and-click adventure game, with great soundtrack and amazing art. A worthy sequel of th efirst game, it also features some of the famous British humour (you have been warned) and cleverly interwoven myths legends and culture references. While some of the puzzles are hard, most are of the "how I didn't think about the correct solution from the start, it is obvious in hindishgt!", and not the "how that is a solution at all?!" variety. Note that "most", not all (and obviously, for non-British players some puzzles may appear less intuitive). Much longer than the first part, it is a really great game, very much worth playing.
A word about the "Anniversary edition": some may like it, some may not. Let me just say I prefer the original, as not all of the new improvements are on par with the old, and look shoddy when compared with the original. Especially the main menu looks weirdly out of place (as can be seen on the preview screenshots). Good thing is the player has an option of playing with the old version graphics and music and turning off the new features.
Na koniec, dubbing: Jestem szczególnie zadowolny z obecności polskiej wersji językowej, takiej jaką mam z płytki z czasopisma. Miodzio!
