Earth and Sky 2: Another Earth, Another Sky
Part of Earth and Sky
| Author: | Paul O'Brian | | Genre: | Superhero | | Released: | 2002 | | Review: | This game continues the charming vein of Earth and Sky, this time from the point of view of the brother in the brother-sister pair. This episode is longer than the first one, with relatively easy but well-designed puzzles and a compact, memorable setting. It features entertaining NPC dialogue, and advances the unfolding narrative arc quite nicely. Uses Glulx's multimedia abilities to include comic-book-style sound effects -- a very satisfying touch.
Rating: ****
