A really poor game...
A lot of negative things have already been written about the game. I should probably have heeded it, because it's all true. - It's significantly worse than the 1st part. - The story seems completely implausible from start to finish. It becomes increasingly unrealistic and annoying towards the end of the game and is extremely drawn out due to plot twists that seem contrived. - The flashbacks to 2005 are completely unnecessary, seem contrived, have nothing to do with the main storyline and drag out the game. In the cliffhanger at the end of Still Life 1, it was 99.9% clear who the killer was. This could have been confirmed in an intro without interrupting the game with annoying flashbacks. - The puzzles are not particularly difficult, but they are annoying, repetitive and often time-critical. You often don't even know why you have to collect countless objects or look at things - it's just to unlock something (e.g. you get a phone call without which you can't continue). - The game only takes place in 3 locations and is completely linear. - The technical realisation is lousy (bugs, flat 3D graphics, badly animated characters, poor UI, constant changes of camera perspective and a missing hotspot function make searching for objects really annoying) - The voice acting is much worse than in the first part and seems quite unprofessional. In addition, the sound is poorly mixed. - Towards the end of the game there is a bug, which means you can't finish the game. There is neither a correctly functioning version, nor a savegame on GOG. I had to watch the end on youtube... This game is a prime example of what went wrong with point and click adventures in the 2000s. Fortunately, things have improved again much since then.
