Best Adventure 2015?

THE WAITING HAS AN END.
The Games Kingart has done it again, financed by the support of the fans in a Kickstarter Kamapgne (crowdfunding)! What came out of it: A graphically beautiful fantasy adventure with beautifully drawn characters and a consistently enthralling story with just the humor, which has the first part of The Book of Unwritten Tales (2009) and its prequel The cattle Chronicles (2011) already received , Just thereafter, the fans have longed for and it may well be assumed that the worthy second part of the saga will inspire even more male and female players to the world of Aventásien.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
First fall on two things: The four game characters, which are accompanied by their adventures have changed in appearance a little. Captain Nate is now wearing a fashionable beard as he himself says, and in the case of Princess Ivodora we meet, one might think, a whole new face. Wilbur Weather quartz acts gnomiger and less like a garden gnome if I may be formulated as follows. Only the bizarre beast seems to me quite the same again. The changes mentioned are consistently succeeded in doing what no one should have been such an easy task.
What also every buyer or prospect becomes clear: For the installation of the game, the gaming platform Steam is not needed, you can install it as normal; But who really wants, can the acquired game by a numerical code, which is located inside the DVD case behind the DVD, download and integrate into their Steam account. This is a wise decision! If Steam would have been a must that many buyers would have scared myself included. In the case of Adventures The Dark Eye Chains of Satinav example you can even today based on the reviews realize how much offense was taken at the Steam-duty. But that is a subject in itself, which I will touch only briefly at this point; Here, opinions are quite simply too much apart. One thing is certain: Especially with adventure enthusiasts find Steam & co. relatively little support and King Art has adapted perfectly to that fact in the publication of Unwritten Tales 2. This is of course immediately positive.

MUSIC & SOUND
When you first start playing instantly trumped the atmospheric orchestral music, which ensures the right atmosphere. The musical backing is a major triumph, reflects the enthusiastic, sad, happy or just cozy situation in which one finds oneself, each very well again. Here is dotted to a solid line. I have in any case be pretty happy to put a little louder the speakers for the music! The setting of the dialogue and monologues leaves nothing to be desired, here you have saved no expense, as well as in the predecessor, hired well-known and experienced voice actors.

GRAPHICS
Graphically the Tbout 2 is a feast for the eyes! The scenes are designed with extraordinary attention to detail. Even the animations are impressive and contribute immensely to natural gaming experience: the fire blazes in the fireplace really nice, you can watch Wilbur as he climbs down the rope into a dark hole and the cattle performs his acrobatic feats. For an adventure such mobility is not a matter of course. A small fly in the ointment there: Sometimes small bugs appear and then it can happen that items disappear for a moment. However, this has bothered me cordially little, since it occurred only rarely.

HUMOR & JOKE
Now the best part: the humor, the jokes, the laughs! This year, I still have so much laughed at nothing. Here old master were at work! Anyone familiar with the adventure games from the old days, will have his joy, especially when Wilbur is taking his small time travel, the good old days to revive for a few puzzles but I do not want to reveal too much here or spoilers! The diversity of the characters wearing course enormously to wit of the whole case: Everyone reacts in similar circumstances just very different. While Ivo two loops around and seen in their love for ever and ever interconnected flowers, Nate says quite flat, he saw two plants that try to strangle each other. And many more of the references to computer role-playing games, the Hobbit, Star Wars. I can not go deeper at this point.

Supporting characters
The supporting characters are managed. In addition to real tormentors who place a stone in the path, you will encounter as a surprisingly useful journeyman. So you have almost always at least one contact person who is a well-disposed. This is of course a terrific balance to the eternal task controllers.

Brain & PLAYING TIME
The puzzles are easy to moderate. Who listens to the dialogues well, should normally have no difficulty in relatively swift progress. My playing time does not appear was 20 hours, but according to the information of the game in the Scores menu 10 hours. But I'm not sure if that's a mistake, I had the season that is at least twice as long time ago and I have not cheated, I promise! I investigated and the setting only skipped if they were a repetition also all objects. Hm. Still a long season for an adventure, so va my subjective impression! The puzzles have mE may be a bit more difficult in places at least, but there were of them, at least a lot of what is indeed a good thing!

THE END
A downer but there are currently: The game ends with the 5th chapter; at the beginning of Chapter 5, however, you still in the middle of history! Tell Technically, it would of course have been appropriate to pack the end in its own, Chapter 6. This point has already been criticized in Tbout 2 in many places, and I can confirm that the end really is much too abrupt and narrative technique at best only sufficient. With a more extensive Chapter 6 might have been the story not only lead to a round end, but also can act as Ivo character again. It is already contained most of the time in Wilbur's skin, which indeed is not bad in itself. Nate and the cattle, compared with the other two of the troops, a little neglect is mounted, eventually became both a prequel own dedicated (The Cattle Chronicles). Nevertheless, one would end up once again to Ivo paste as character, as history has indeed started with her.

STORY (except at the end)
Otherwise, it must be said about the story that it is a narrative flawless until the end. Here is a great tension is built up and there are a whole series of twists that I never could have foreseen what is a great achievement. Yes, the story is so good that you can be sure that the writers must have been fully aware that the end is sub-optimal. Here determined temporal or financial factors have played a role in game development. I see this as yet forgivable and the 5 stars are more than deserved! The end is finally in so many masterpieces a sticking point.

MY CONCLUSION
Tbout 2 has a good chance of my personal adventure of 2015 to be! The narrative technique is not really perfect end must not hide the fact that all the rest, who, after all, accounts for so much of the game, is nearly perfect. The characters grow very fond of and not only that, behind the story a "morality" that has gone under my skin. And the laughs are priceless anyway. In this sense, I would advise anyone who wants to set his sails toward fun: Cast off!
