I’m intrigued as to what comes next in the Enigmatis series, as it has been a great on-going tale so far. The voice acting could do with a bit of work, but the cutscenes are really good and do well to capture the spooky vibe needed for this supernaturally charged narrative.Īrtifex Mundi have delivered a worthy follow-up in Enigmatis 2. It’s the detective work that truly sets it apart from the many other offerings from Artifex Mundi. The story itself continues to tie-in to the original, whilst providing a few rather interesting twists and turns along the way. It’s not overly long, but works well as an encore of sorts, with a decent amount of puzzles crammed into about an hour of game time.Įnigmatis 2: The Mists of Ravenwood doesn’t wander from its point and click roots, delivering quality mini-games and some creative Hidden Object tasks – even if designed to be a bit too tough at times.
If there was to be a criticism it’d be that there aren’t enough of these Hidden Object alternatives to get stuck into.Īfter conquering the main story, a bonus chapter will open, which relives the memories of a survivor to explain how some of the antagonist’s victims in waiting ended up in the predicament seen in the present day. My favourite interactive story style mini-game returns, where moving objects to their correct panels furthers the story. For example, the old method of rotating lines in order to connect the pipes together concept has been re-jigged here, as has the manoeuvring of a labyrinth to reach an exit point. After all the Artifex games I’ve been hands-on with, the ideas are still pretty fresh on the whole, with the classic ideas given a face-lift. If you are using chapter select, the quickest place to get this is Chapter 2 - Section 7, where a machine is right where you start out with the available letters. You just need to put the word HAT together. Should they get too difficult, you can switch to a pair matching game that is far easier, and in truth not as enjoyable. There are also machines that will spit out letters of your choosing from the available letters. Still, the inventiveness of creating list items by using other items is a very neat touch again. The majority of the scenes have been blended in with the items almost too well though, and so coupling that with the always iffy selection cursor not being overly accurate, produces some very difficult moments of frustration. I adore scouring a scene to find the items listed, testing my eyesight to no end and discovering strange things I’ve never even heard of. I know what you’re thinking – ‘get to the puzzles already!’ And I will, first focusing on the Hidden Object areas. First playthrough Collectables, miscellaneous trophies via chapter select.

Making the links between similar pieces of evidence helps the story unfold, as does presenting special metallic pieces of a lock to an imprisoned helper. Welcome to MetaGames Typoman: Revised PS4 Trophy Guide and Walkthrough. Figuring out what each thing has to do with the case isn’t the most elaborate of tasks, however, it adds something different to do and brings out your inner Sherlock.
Much like the original Enigmatis, the inclusion of detective work is present again meaning any and all items of interest or clues towards the mystery will need to be sorted on an evidence board. Additionally, there is one secret achievement: The Unburnt (25 points): Escape the fire without getting burnt. Antonymizer (100 points): Beat the Antonymizer Mini Game. Storyteller (75 points): Collect all Quotations.
Quotation Hunter (25 points): Collect 12 Quotations. It’s a great way to encourage the player to pay attention to the lovely backdrops. Liar (50 points): Wherever possible create a LIE. Butterflies are ever so tiny and can be perched almost anywhere, whilst the others to keep your eye out for are parts of the environment flickering between different realities which only trigger for short period of time. Just because you can take your time to work through the various puzzles on your path of discovery, doesn’t mean you don’t need to be on alert in case any of the collectibles are hiding amongst the always beautifully hand-drawn settings.
The scenes themselves, although sporadic, really capture the eerie nature of proceedings (without ever pushing it too far) and also inject a bit of excitement into Enigmatis 2 – it balances out well with the relaxing style of everything else that happens within. Granted, it’s not a blockbuster feature film, but the general woodenness of the characters’ vocal performances, especially the droning tone of the main character, takes away from the typically impressive cutscenes thrown in. But select your words wisely - they can both be a blessing.One of the few consistent bugbears throughout the Hidden Object games developed by Artifex Mundi remains the bad voice acting. Despite your small stature you have a powerful reward: You can craft words which will have an effect on the surroundings. You slip into the role of a character made of letters, struggling to make your means via a dark and hostile world.
