I wish i could give the 2nd game 5 stars but sadly i can't. As with the 1st game, i tested it on both my Windows Xp & Windows 11 machines. Windows XP works great, which should be a no brainer, Win 11 on the other hand oh boy. The cutscene with Brian chatting with Sushi on the Laptop has slow down like no believes. But at least the gameplay works fine, until you come to Chapter 4. It play in Alaska and because of the snow you have slow downs, There is a way to fix apparently but i don't wanna use some tool in the background and of you guys report big problems as well, so i rather stick to me XP machine. Theresa as well a suffer from time to time a crash back to desktop but no slow downs. The Game itself: Better graphics Better sounds Nice story with a plotwist like the 1st one Some very hard puzzles, which are logical if you really think about, but are hard because you didn't talk to everybody, Don't have all objects which are needed and therefore brain doesn't start at all to add an object to another object because he doesn't know what he should do. Yes the first game had this too, but now in the sequal is just getting annoying. For me, is a had love becauseci really like stuff in this game but too many bugs sadly.
I tested Runaway on an oldschool Windows XP computer & works great, then the ultimate test Windows 11. Installed and yes, everything works great! No slow downs no graphic bugs nothing, is like i had it in memory when i had the game on CD whichs stoped working some time ago. Runaway is an awesome Graphic-Adventure that proves a genre like this can work in the 21th Century.
