Gemini Rue is not perfect but it is absolutely worth playing. It's graphically similar to Gabriel Knight or the original Monkey Island games but its story is surprisingly mature and engrossing. It features well implemented, classic adventure style gameplay but it is a bit on the short side (about 8 hours) and the limited budget is noticeable in the small number of locations you'll visit. The story, atmosphere, voice acting, and the ending completely make up for those short comings. Highly recommended to those who enjoy this type of game.
A nearly perfect continuation of the first game. It can't match the original in terms of gameplay but the cinematic sweep and the sheer quality of its storytelling makes up for it. If you're looking for definitive closure at the end, you won't find it here. The immediate story of this game is wrapped up but the overarching narrative and some of the characters' fates are left unresolved. The 6 year (and counting) wait for a followup has been painful to say the least. This is an excellent middle episode in an unfinished trilogy. Time to get to work Ragnar. That finale is not going to make itself.
