I like the story of this game series. You should definitely make some more of these. The art is wonderful, but the game could be enhanced if the characters could move around.
Reviews for "The Ritual 2"
I love the ritual series. The puzzles are challenging but thats what makes the game more fun. I wish you could give more medals though.
So glad to see this up and running again! For ages, a lot of the games were just black, but now they are working. I forgot just how great this game was!
Yet another game from this author that, guess what, doesn't load past the opening screen. Fix your damn games before you publish them.
Ritual series is among best of Carmel games because puzzles are harder then usual. In this game they were easier then in the first part trough.
I loved that the flag code was not fully displayed so a player either has to know that flag, look it up or remember it. I just liked that you have to know how the Latvian flag looks without game telling you this so unless you are a Latvian, you must have some geography knowledge or look it up.
The cabinet in ritual room was the hardest to crack, very careful observation required to notice screws and even after that I don't know how to put the numbers in order just got right by luck after some time.
The cemetery puzzle was ridiculously easy, especially compared to first Ritual game. The keyword should not have been written with bigger letters so players could look at possible words and decipher which word is the keyword.
I predicted the ending just seconds before it happened, right after I completed all puzzles and stopped thinking about them and sat back to watch the ending, but it was still a decent and humorous ending.
As all Carmel games - short and lacking movement animation, but I will give a nice score for a bit more inventive puzzles then usual.
