I loved and finished the first game 3 times. It is one of the best RPGs I have ever played. I didn't like the pirate theme for an rpg, it's not my cup of tea as far as themes goes. Despite that, I still finished the game. The main vilain is not one that gives you a desire to fight him, actually, I couldn't care less about some God's feud with other God's. The quests were sub par when compared to the first one,many of those quests sent you to distant place in the map to search for someone or something and when you get there it's just a 2 level dungeon or not even that, just a small encounter. The items you acquire while adventuring are not good, you can buy better items from the stores. The end result is that you end up taking a lot of time going from one place to the other, never feeling powerful or never feeling that you have evolved, chasing a God that you don't care about in a pirate theme. I recommend the first game instead
I played this a long time ago and just finished replaying it now. I had memories of this game being a good adventure and I found out that its not the case. The game has a lot of back and forth just for the sake of increasing the gameplay time. Some puzzles are only solvable by only one way when there should be more solutions available. Ie: You need to mix items A and B. If you mix it A and B you are fine. But if you mix B and A it doesn't work. All in all its an average game that was good when it was released but it's not anymore by today's design standards. If you want a really good adventure play Gabriel Knight 20th anniversary.
