I bought the entire Kyrandia pack, but only managed to finish this second game of the seres. I hated the first and third game, but this one I found utterly enjoyable. The story is a bit blah, but the main character and the potion puzzles are wonderful! Skip the first and the third, just buy this one!
A huge disappointment. The game has serious flaws, crazy amounts of dead-ends and frustrating wandering around and trying this and that and hoping for a right combination. The puzzles are not adventure game puzzles that you're used to in Sierra's or Lucasarts' games. I bought the entire Kyrandia pack, but only managed to play the second game, as it's the only one with good gameplay and a fun lead character. Nr. 1 & 3 are just lame and I didn't bother finishing them.

Just a super adventure, definitely in the top 5 of best and most original games i've ever played (and I've been playing for 20 years). Looks great and the story is just magical, especially the ending. The puzzles remind me of old LucasArts in all the best ways. Hours of good fun, definitely worth 10-15 euros!
I've wanted to play this for a long time,. but right from the beginning, I was disappointed. Sure, there are some interesting elements but the puzzles are illogical, dead-ends multiple and voice acting pretty unimpressive. Not my cup of tea, even though I usually enjoy classics.
