Note: Black Mirror 2 has a very open ending. If you want to know how the story concludes, then playing [url="https://store.steampowered.com/app/286480/Black_Mirror_III/"]Black Mirror 3 is a must. So be sure to also read some reviews of that game since the two games basically belong together. Recommended for: If you haven't played Black Mirror 1 and you are looking for a good point'n click adventure with a nice story, then Black Mirror 2 is worth checking out. Although it's not absolutely necessary to play the first game I would still highly recommend it, because you will be missing out on a lot of backstory and references. If you really don't like classic adventure games (I admit they are not for everyone), I would still advise you to watch a playthrough or summary of the game. If you have played Black Mirror 1, then in my opinion this game is an interesting sequel, but some things are very different. I think the main change is the overall atmosphere of the game. The first game has a more spooky/horror vibe, but in Black Mirror 2 it feels more like a detective/thriller. Personally, I prefer the feeling of the original game, but I think the overall story of Black Mirror 2 is fine. Black Mirror 2 does have some improvements over the first game. One major one is that it now features a toggleable hotspot system, so no more pixel hunting! Graphically, it also looks much better. Puzzles are a bit more integrated into the story and feel more logical. The voice acting is decent, but nothing special. Interesting characters, with some returning from the first game. I do want to point out one thing, and that is the personality of the main character, which a lot of people don't like. The main problem is he often acts like a stereotypical rebellious college student and many times has snarky and sarcastic comments. Since you can inspect a lot of stuff on the screen, this can of course get very annoying. Personally, I also didn't like it at first, especially in Act 2. But I did get the feeling he mellowed out a bit in the later parts of the game, so I wasn't too bothered by it in the end. Still, this is something to keep in mind. My experience: Overall I had a nice time playing Black Mirror 2. Good story, nice characters and great gameplay improvements. Still, I do think that this game would be better if it was on its own, instead of being a sequel to Black Mirror. I just find the overall feeling very different compared to the first game. Also, while I did think the story was interesting, at some times it felt disconnected from the original game. I can't go into detail because of spoilers, but especially toward the end certain explanations for events in Black Mirror 1 just didn't make much sense to me. Technical: On two occasions I had a weird texture glitch on one of the NPC models. It lasted only a few seconds and only at the beginning of the game. Also, with another character, the audio levels were a bit unbalanced, but also only in the beginning of the game. Besides these two minor things, I had no other technical issues.

This review does have potential spoilers, especially if you didn't play the first game. I do highly suggest playing the series in order for this game to make sense. Though if you don't want to play the first game there's plenty of stories and explanation of what happened in BM1 in this game. BUT- still a good idea to start with BM1. I guess after multiple replays and almost 50 hours I forgot to review this game. I will warn, that if you play with "Advanced Graphics on" you'll get some graphical bugs mainly with character movements but it is nothing game breaking. This game also handles being minimized very well. There are a couple of plot holes in this game that are answered at the beginning of BM3. This game is decently long, and honestly very well done. Can easily get 10+ hours of gameplay. I've replayed the game about 6 times now so I can beat the game in about 7 hours. It's a very beautifully crafted game especially with the graphics, and yes when it comes to Darren he just might need some getting used to. I like the whole series but this one is my favorite. It is also one of my favorite all time P&C games- being on my top 5. I will say that this game does steer more away from the creepy atmosphere and story of the first game. It's still a very dark game with hauntingly beautiful atmosphere. This game is about Darren and the Gordon curse being passed on after Samuel from BM1. This game is more of a twist and this plays more as a build up for Darrens story and the continuation into BM3. Darren is from Boston, which plays into him having a Boston accent but it can sound almost forced(?) so to speak and can be a bit irritating at times. I originally wasn't fond of his voice acting but it grew on me as the game went on. He is very cocky, sarcastic, rebellious, and can be really annoying, but he's not that bad. Especially in the third game. He just takes some time to get used to really. Even I didn't like him at first, but he's a good character. As for the game itself, the story is good, and as I said above it's more of a build up of Darren's story and a continuation of the Gordon curse from the first game. It's done very well, and this game is quite the ride but is still a great addition to the series. But the 'original' curse story line does pick up more toward the end and into the third game. This game does suffer a bit from moments where the music is loud and you can barely hear characters speak. There are a lot of obnoxious moments in the game but it's still a good game. The ending is decently paced and doesn't end as 'abruptly' as some people say. There's a lot of steps to do what you need to do, but then you pick it up where you left off in BM3. Everything about this game is good, even great for the most part, the story, the sounds/atmospheric sounds, the music, the story, and the characters. I highly recommend this series.

Black Mirror II had big shoes to fill as the sequel to the original adventure. With a different developer the game took a new approach—modernized visuals, fresh characters, and a setting that gradually ties back to the chilling mystery of the first game. While some of the animations feel a bit silly, the game still manages to build an eerie atmosphere. And despite its slower pace, some of the death scenarios genuinely caught me off guard(actually making me jump more than once). From a gameplay perspective, Black Mirror II refines the point-and-click mechanics with quality-of-life features. The ability to highlight all interactive objects makes puzzle-solving more accessible, and the option to double click at the corner of the screen makes walking through sections of the game faster, saving time without breaking immersion. It may not perfectly recapture the original’s magic of Black Mirror I but it is still an interesting continuation of the story and a solid point-and-click horror experience.

I really enjoyed the game - most of the puzzles could be solved logically if you paid attention to what was said and to your surroundings - I played the easy mode just in case I'd want to skip a puzzle, but they were all doable it is a little gory, so be warned if you are squeamish, there are murders and multiple deaths for the protagonist - save often! all in all a fun game, though - I highly recommend it - for me, Black Mirror III awaits :)

Black Mirror II, builds on its predecessor in every way. It continues the story of the haunted castle known as Black Mirror, but from the next generation. Some characters from the first game return, but having aged significantly. Many loose narrative ends are tied up quite eloquently, and we revisit many of our beloved locations: Willow Creek, Black Mirror, Wales. The graphics and art style are gorgeous (sort of reminds me of LiS, but it predates it by over a decade). Compared to the first game, this one is much smoother, no bugs/glitches etc. And it retains the good parts of the first too: the puzzles are still high quality, the difficulty is quite sharp (something good), and the story is riveting. I have not yet played the third title, but these first two games have one of the most compelling 'haunted castle / hereditary curse / occultism' story arc I've seen in a long while. Most modern P&C games do not have such a complex and well written story. [Süper oyun, ilkinden her açıdan daha iyi (ki o da baya güzeldi.)]
