I'm not sure it's really that fun nowadays since there are much better alternatives. Might be fun to play with kids if you have some though and it definitely had some appeal when it first came out. Gameplay is simple though and playing against the computer is boring. All nostalgia aside, i wouldn't buy it. I liked it when i got it but wouldn't play it nowadays.
I don't understand the 5 star reviews here. While combat COULD have been alright if it wasn't plagued with a weird behavior regarding random numbers (missing 5 times in a row a 85% chance to land spell is...frustrating to say the least), the rest of the game is so dull and uninterestingly boring that it doesn't make up for it at all. You'll slog through fights that are meant to be fought ONE WAY and can't be won otherwise, dumb AI, bugs (i couldn't buy anything from a merchant), unrewarding quests and fights and overall a really poor attempt at making a RPG by Daedalic. And i get that the dark eye is that kind of universe, that loot is scarse and that you have to plan ahead. It just is poorly done in this game and it makes it really unenjoyable. Save your cash.
This game is terrible. It's so poor compared to the first one, you'll wonder if they're part of the same series. Voice acting is terrible and the recording seems to have different tones for some reason. The FMV haven't age well at all, they're a mess. The UI looks like it has been done in 2 minutes in MS Paint. I don't get it, how could this game be so low standard after the first one which was one of the best adventure game i've ever played ? I'm guessing they just used all their budget on filming and actors instead of having a real developing team... If you liked GK1, don't play this one, it's a poor mess. If you like FMV...well go ahead, you might like it.
