One of the best graphic adventures games with a beautiful pixel art, clever puzzles and a great story. [Recommended]

Despite its flaws, Kathy Rain 2 is another spectacular adventure from Clifftop Games that builds on the established characters wonderfully and, for the most part, pays off many of the original game’s lingering plot threads in satisfying ways. There are still some cliched, corny lines here and there, with some characters that feel very archetypal and stereotypical. It also feels like Clifftop Games wants to have their cake and eat it too with the supernatural stuff, considering it doesn’t always mesh with the otherwise grounded and gritty detective story, but it’s at least delivered better here than it was before. Regardless, it’s a sound, engaging mystery that’s easy to get invested in. If you’re a fan of the original game, this character, or adventure games in general, Kathy Rain 2: Soothsayer will not steer you wrong, and proves that despite innovation across the industry, good old-fashioned, LucasArts-inspired adventure games still have staying power.

Kathy Rain 2: Soothsayer is a perfect adventure for anyone who misses a well-structured point-and-click game reminiscent of the genre’s golden age. Thanks to its twist-filled narrative and well-written characters, it’s a joy to play from start to finish. The entire story is accompanied by classic old-school gameplay, featuring cleverly designed puzzles that are challenging without ever feeling overwhelming. If you’ve been longing for a new point-and-click adventure capable of leaving a lasting impression, Kathy Rain 2 might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.
