Runaway 2: The Dream of the Turtle reviews

It's a game that melts the brain. Shortly after the start of the game, I told myself that it was better than the first outside of this problem Recurent hidden objects in a vicious way that forces to spend + time to look in decors cm ² per cm ², if there is not a trick rather than reflech on the puzzle resolution. But these enigmas once again would give MC gyver the urge to hang himself. Seriously (attention spoil) you have a ray of sunshine and a magnifying glass, you say I'll have to make a fire or something like that, but no, we weld a key broken in two, just that. The worst part is that it seemed to me almost logical then to use a broken piece of glass (taking it by bare hand of course) to filing the Bourlet of the weld and make it smooth... When I told myself I was going to try to walk on the quicksand with snowshoes to not sink in I realized that the game was really going to be boring, spend its time looking for ultra-stated objects by using them any how, and the worst is that you have to wait to have done some tricks to be able to pick up some stuff like in the precend shutter, not counting the dialogues of an unnecessary length and the fact of having to talk 15 times to the characters. It does not bother the perso to pick up a used condom that could serve him later but when we try to pick up a fork he calls you a Buzzard saying that he is not hungry and that it is useless, but a little later we come back still looking the fork because it is necessary to pierce the hood in order to make plaster... Moreover you do not even know why you do what you do most of the time because there is no logic apart from that of the character who puts his hand in a tasting vase but refuses to touch a thermos a little dusty. In short I have not hung, especially that the game is really bugged, green screens for a lot of cinematics, crash repetitive from Chapter 4 and big slowdowns, when you crash after an hour of play passing all the dialogues the progression is recovered in 5 minutes (Yes the dialogues are really long) but it's still boring. So yes the game has a lot of potential and could even be good but a game is above all to make fun, torture me the meninges to solve puzzles on which I block bothers me not otherwise I will not make point and click but there is not thinking, it's not that the game is difficult, it's just that it's phony and the dialogues are often uninteresting (even if they sometimes happen to have a smile sketching). I thought it was a chef opens when I took the bundle but I am frankly disappointed (good it goes the Games came back to me a little more than a Euro piece I have not lost too). I do not know how this series can be so successful because personelement is one of the most annoying point and click that I agree. After the first part I found missed I left a chance to the second but I do not know if the third will not go to the door.
