"Seen in its entirety though, that’s not necessarily the dire problem it might sound. I choose to treasure its high points- the charming characters, ingenious dialogue, and silly childlike whimsy." The puzzles, as frustrating as they are, come from a place of creative invention that defines the point-and-click genre. However, despite the challenges Broken Age is still very much a beautiful game with a heartwarming story. "Broken Age: Act 1 was so perfect that perhaps my expectations were inflated when playing through the second half. Broken Age doesn't quite suffer the fate implied by its title, but there are clearly fractures that time has failed to heal." The deeper elements, the bones that might give it structural strength, feel thin. "In the end, it's the surface details - the dry and gentle wit, the winsome voice acting, and the gorgeous design - that lash it all together. Instead it’s an incredibly pretty, superbly voice acted, crap adventure game." I had hoped that Act 2 would be the addressing of Act 1’s shortcomings, and deliver on its strengths, what had seemed so heartfelt and novel. Now that I've completed the entirety of Double Fine's return to adventure games, I have to say. "Like anyone with a heart and soul who played Broken Age Act 1, I've been eagerly awaiting the conclusion of Shay and Vella's adventure. It’s an adventure that I loved seeing through to the end." While I wish that Double Fine kept taking me to new and surprising settings, Act 2 makes the absolute most of each screen of its world. The jokes are punchy, the twists are rewarding, and most of the puzzles are satisfying in a special way. "Broken Age: Act 2 wraps up Shay and Vella’s story in great fashion. Who doesn’t want to root for a pair of underdogs, especially when they’re up against forces that seem to relish in ignorance? In spite of the bizarre human-sacrifice mythology and space-simulation hijinks, Broken Age is a wonderful tale grounded in relationships and how two people – no matter how insignificant they might seem – can make a difference." Then give him the schematics for a Superconductive Gyroscopic Hypercam and have him make you one out of sand.Ĭlick on the little numbers below to continue to the next page of the walkthrough."I was happy to rejoin Shay and Vella and help guide them through this adventure’s conclusion.
