Still Life 2

A good point and click game. better than Still LIfe 1, in the sense that this one you feel more like an actual detective using an FBI kit and more power of deductions. some puzzles i had to go through online help but not too many and not as tedious as SL1 . the plot twist seemed like they were just trying to forcibly extend the game more. but overall give it about a 7/10 rating.

There are no character models only on Steam It only loaded the hair, eyes and teeth very annoying frustrating and disappointing It has non of the charm of the first Still Life. The plot is simply boring and the whole concept of typical maniac from C movie makes it even worse ...

20 hours of pure bliss, this game is waay harder than the first and my notepad is loaded and happy :3

Während der Vorgänger mit einer interessanten Story überzeugt und uns mit einem Cliffhänger zurücklässt, präsentiert „Still Life 2“ den Mörder des ersten Teils in einer recht kurzen Rückblende und wendet sich einem anderen Serienmörder zu. Erneut schlüpfen wir in die Rolle der Victoria McPherson, die dieses Mal den „East Coast Killer“ jagt und nun stark in der Öffentlichkeit von Palome Hernandez, einer Journalistin, kritisiert wird. Diese behauptet Hinweise zum gejagten Killer zu haben und bittet die Agentin um ein Treffen. Vic lehnt ab und prompt wird Palome entführt und muss um ihr Überleben kämpfen. Genau wie schon in „Still Life“ wechseln wir zwischen zwei Charakteren hin und her und erleben den Fall somit aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven. Leider wird uns im zweiten Teil das Ermitteln und Überleben unnötig erschwert. Abgesehen von den unsympathischen Charakteren (mit denen ich letztlich weniger Mitgefühl hatte), dürfen wir nun ein begrenztes Inventar benutzen und Gegenstände, die wir möglicherweise noch benötigen, in Schränken zwischenlagern. Neu ist ebenfalls, dass man sterben kann und teilweise unter nettem Zeitdruck agieren muss. Einige Rätsel sind etwas unlogisch, oder unnötig kompliziert und die Geschichte selbst lange nicht so spannend und überzeugend wie erhofft.

[b]Standalone review (not comparing to the first game):[/b] A whodunit that takes too much from TV magic (think CSI) to progress the story while not providing much of a whodunit to solve. You spend an extremely long time in a single location attempting to solve the "mystery", with flashbacks that will make no sense unless you've played the first game. Concepts start in the Saw genre, which could have been interesting if maintained. Instead, it shifts gears into "but THEN" and rapidly loses cohesion. Characters are not memorable, the 2nd female protagonist has no character growth at all despite the trauma she goes through (again, Saw... but complete failure at the concept), and the side characters have no personality to speak of. The inventory system creates unnecessary time padding, the movement and camera controls are often frustrating, and it's buggy, especially toward the end. If you don't save often, you are in for pain. And as I've not seen anyone mention this in other reviews: pacing! The game has extremely poor pacing, with multiple unnecessary twists and an ending that takes FAR too long to get to the obvious conclusion. Overall this is not a good game in any genre it's attempting to emulate; it falls flat, is frustrating and lacks depth, and the puzzles are nowhere near the realism it's attempting to emulate (again, Saw). [b]Review based on the first game:[/b] Massive disappointment. If you were hoping for a satisfying conclusion to the original Still Life, you won't get it. While the first game ends with the killer being rather obvious, the flashbacks do that ending no service, and leave a very sour taste. If you were also hoping for similar structure (but improved) - again, be disappointed. We do maintain the "switch between two protagonists", and there are names we recognize... but those are the only similarity between these games. [b]Final Thoughts:[/b] Don't bother unless you're a super fan of the genre and will play anything - bugs, warts and all.

спойлеры. прошла после прохождения первой части, что же я могу сказать? Игра как по сюжету, так и игромеханически сильно проседает. Интересный, мрачный и трагичный настрой первой части тоже пропал. Максимально нелогичные сегменты особенно на таймер из раза в раз. а ко всему этому баги, которые не решить и придется скачивать сейвы посторонние + моменты, когда никак не прожимаются предметы для решения загадок [spoiler] На всю игру дается одна территория, но несколько маньякичей, которые совсем не раскрываются и не запоминаются.[/spoiler] Обидно, ведь первая часть была очень хороша

Ok game. But the story barely connects to the first game and not the greatest ending. But overall ok.
