zork 1 is such a fun adventure i was excited for the second one... until i played it. the bank area is unpassable. i looked at all the walkthroughs and no, none of them are helpful. they all just stop and move on leaving HUGE gaps like they dont want to talk about it. so... yeah. i typically dont call a game bad based on difficulty but. jesus if it makes the game unplayable or even UNBEATABLE then yeah its bad. i dont know if its a patch i just know it's not me because literally everywhere i look no one has an answer for the bank area.
I would have given this a higher rating but there were too many factors. i think a lot of the puzzles were well thought out and entertainingly challenging but the boss battles were jusrt ther worst. you have to hit them a million times and they just have to hit you once. the first boss splits into two parts when you shoot it and you have to keep shooting and splitting it to make any progress. this is fine but the fact that it is constantly shooting at yopu too. bouncing balls of pain and misery that back you into a corner just as your getting some where, kills you and forces you to start over. everything about this game was great, the music (and i hate modern pop) the levels the assthetic. but that freaking boss battle. an hour into it and i was done. i'm not returning to this game because there are no save states therefore i would have to start from the begginging. and its just not worth it. it's like going to college getting your degree but whoops the college screwed up and you have to start all over again. i didnt find college fun so i dont find this game fun. sorry.
