Ankh 2: Heart of Osiris

Really hard game to complete without a guide, I played this game to completion simply because I wanted it to be 'done' in my steam library but I had to follow a YouTube guide in order to complete it, the game is very very hard and I didn't understand the story so good either, I don't understand how anybody could play this game without a guide would take centuries to complete

"Ankh 2: Heart of Osiris " is an ancient game from 2007. It's a whopping 17 years old at the time of this review. The game lacks support for any modern gaming display resolutions (or widescreen monitors), hasn't been modernised or updated to run smoothly on modern gaming PCs. Despite this lack of modernisation, it carries a pretty high price tag for such an ancient game. This seems to have been put on Steam as a nostalgia gouge, or just a cash grab to try profit from abandonware. This is an Egyptian themed "me too!" entry trying to do a slightly more recent spin on games like Sam & Max Hit The Road and Day of the Tentacle, but the charm isn't there and the puzzles are convoluted yet unrewarding. It's also really dated and lacks support for 4K resolution and other modern PC attributes, making this a bit of a failure. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 12 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Conside…

This game is one of my favourite adventure games when it was released. For context, it was in late 2000s, it was the terrible drought of point and click adventure games, then, like a ray of sunshine, those games were released. Are they the best adventure games ever? No but they have a good sense of humour, fun puzzles and imaginative story. They're also a lot better than pretty much any other games released during those years.

Sure. It's not the worst or best point and click but has it's moments. Needed a walkthrough for some parts.

This game gets a thumbs up from me but barely. It's a decent little point and click adventure that was actually rated pretty highly during its time by the German gaming press but does not hold up particularly well. Let's start with the pros though: - Decent voice acting - Graphics are OK for a game from 2007 and the early days of 3D adventures - It's not too long and can be finished in well under 10 hours - You get to play as different characters and, in imho, all are more fun than the 'hero' - The game is usually heavily discounted on Steam and can be had for about a dollar at times Now for some of the negative: - The story is a direct continuation of the previous game and will make even less sense if you haven't played that one already - But even then, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense and feels more like a set up for the finale in part 3 - It's not as funny as it thinks it is - most of the jokes fell flat for me - The puzzles are hit and miss, they are either painfully obvious and trivial or rather obscure and convoluted - The biggest challenge are not the puzzles but rather objects hidden in the background that are very easy to miss (this was most annoying in chapter 4),…

I was glad to see a sequel to this game. Beautiful art. Fun and intuitive story line and problem solving. Easy point & click navigation. Bright colors makes objects easy to see. I still have a lot farther to go in the game yet. Thank you developers & Steam.
