Extremely difficult puzzles and a vague plot sink this ambitious Myst clone.

Unbearably hard and quite frankly pointless puzzles and sub-par acting with sub-par characters leave this ring waiting to be destroyed in Mt. Doom.

Only fans of the classic genre will really find much to get excited over in The Sacred Rings. The story is forgettable, the characters are lame, but the puzzles are definitely challenging.

Впрочем повторили сюжетную структуру из первой части, только главы поменяли местами. Третья глава слабая: локация однообразная. Графика хороша и без багов, всё работает хорошо… Хотя нет после сворачивания через кнопку «Виндовс» звуки дверей пропадают. Также при открытии игры звук в меню отсутствует, но как ставишь игру на паузу (то есть второй раз открываешь меню), то музыка появляется. С одной стороны вторая часть хороша, но могла быть лучше, с дугой же не то чтобы первая по сюжету была лучше второй. 8.4/10

A great first person adventure. Head and shoulders above its predecessor. Think Myst IV era Myst-like. While the first game played like a somewhat poor amalgamation of Myst and Atlantis, this sequel adds in Syberia, and possibly Dracula, as more modern influences, and just does a far far better job of it.

The difficulty level is such that you're sure to get caught out on at least one or two of the puzzles, but the pay-off when you solve them heals the pain. It's not a 'classic' but there's a lot to do and there's plenty of fascinating places to explore.

While The Sacred Rings has plenty of familiar gameplay to offer puzzle lovers, the absence of original ideas and creative spark means the game will have a limited appeal.

Only those gamers in it for the puzzles will get a kick out of this one--those who don’t get overwhelmed, that is.

The real puzzle is why anyone would consider this entertainment. [June 2007, p.71]

Aura 2 is terrible and I have no sympathy for it – Telltale Games have shown us with Sam & Max that you can still produce funny, clever, well designed and playable adventure games on a very low budget.
