This game is fun to play. The combat is based on the exploiting of the enemy's animations, as usual for some action games. The variation of the family members are nice, and the family home is also a nice idea to always return to. The screen is constantly scrolling, if you are sensitive to constant movement, it can cause some disconfort.
The game is not a classic programming game. It mainly challenges you with the minimalistic instruction set. It is not a bad thing as a game, but be aware that it plays more like an assembly programming challenge than a learn how to program/ get some programming experience tool. The game is really different from how programming goes this times, or even 20 or 30 years ago. But as a challenge, it is quite fine, and I think it worth the money.
This game has hardly any flaws. It is a classic adventure game, but with the suffering ironed out. You won't get stuck on an impossible puzzle, and there is no need for pixel hunting. The sounds and the the graphics are really nice, and they suit the ambient of the game. The second part of this episode, because this is the second part of the saga, feels a little rushed out, without the nice polished feeling of the overall game, but it could just be me. Also, I expected in 2013 that the scene changes would happen in an instant, but actually you have to wait for maybe a second. Not really annoying, and you can get used to it, but still. It also has a little german style, if you know what I mean. That certain east Berlin deep artsy emotions and naivity with friendliness type. I really liked that. It is homorous, but the story moments are not always upbeat. It is more suited to a relaxed evening, than co-op playing on a party. But it is the perfect game to play with your girlfriend/boyfriend :) Also, you have an official walkthrough on youtube, so if all else fails and you get stuck, or just want to check out this game, or the first part, you can be done that easily. Can't wait for the third part
