The Darkside Detective 2 continues where The Darkside Detective 1 left off, and you are strongly advised to play the first part before playing this one, or you might feel a bit lost in the story. The second installation of this game is exactly the same as the first part, just more of it: The cases are a bit longer, but still as easy and as punny, and the minigames are so trivial and short that they could have just as well been left out. If you enjoyed the first part and don't mind playing more of exactly the same, this game is for you. if you expected the series to evolve... you will be disappointed. I'm a bit torn because clearly it's not worse than the first part, but it also fails to improve on it, and I think there were many small things that could have been improved.
Warcraft 2 is probably my favorite strategy game. The soundtrack will stay in my head forever. Compared to even earlier RTS, it aged really well and is still playable. Some comfort features are missing, sure, and the AI is sometimes stupid. But it's still a lot of fun and the game doesn't get in your way.
This is definitely a game in the spirit of Portal, but certainly not as big and polished. But it still offers a great number of different mechanics to solve puzzles which never stop being fun. There are some levels that seem a bit unfinished and unpolished (around 5:00AM if I remember correctly), where you mostly just walk through the level without solving any puzzles really, but the game gets even more fun and exciting after that. Highly recommended. PS: The game will barely run at lowest details on Intel HD 5500 integrated graphics. Playable but not thoroughly enjoyable.
