Recomended, strongly for diehard adventure gamers. Writing, art and puzzles are all good. The game excells in theme and feel. It is funny, irreverent and well put together. Sometimes it can feel a little like "Monkey Island: The Egyptian Years", which is OK, as long you know what you're getting into.

Loving this game! It is kinda tricky so I don't recommend this game to anyone that has a hard time being reaaaally patient. The puzzles are elite and I have to admit that I've had to use a walkthrough to get through a couple of the puzzles, but it's not impossible! The story line is an A+. However, there are a few things that should change, starting with the movement. The walking is VERY slow and can get annoying at times. I would also change the camera views to allow people to control the view themselves. The camera view in this game is automatic and causes trouble at times. Sound track is pretty good and the game is sorta humerous! The talks with each individual in the game allows you to choose different subjects to talk about, but it's up to you to find out which conversation will lead you to the next task in the game. Overall, I give this game a 9/10! I got the game on sale, but I would pay full price if I had to.

Not the worst point and click adventure game but certainly not the best either.

The voice acting is somewhat poor and the characters lack facial expressions.

The story is kinda whack aswell especialy concerning what actions you have to take to save egypt. Overall Id give this a 3/10 honestly this just does not compete with the likes of sam and max, monkey island or broken sword.

if your a big fan of point and clicks than i guess it would not hurt to give it a go but if your not a hardcore point and click kinda person then give this a miss as this game is booooring.....

3/10

The Heart of Humor...

You should buy this game if you like adventure games, humor, and you find it on sale.

You should avoid this game if any of the above does not apply to you.

Serious fans of the point-and-click genre may appreciate this one, but players who only occasionally visit this kind of game would do well to look somewhere else. 'Ankh 2' is tagged on Steam as a comedy, but genuinely humorous moments are quite rare. It isn't a particularly intuitive game, and the narrative mechanics are far too inflexible. I can remember one moment, for instance, when I had to shoo away an aggressive cat. I had in my inventory a piece of chicken but trying to use this to complete the objective resulted simply in my character shaking their head and saying, very robotically, "Hmm... this doesn't work."
There are some fun moments in 'Ankh 2', but no more than can be found in any other average point-and-click game. At £3.99 you certainly won't feel cheated by the developers, but don't expect more than a few hours' enjoyment.

pros

+ nice looking cartoony and colorful 3D graphics
+ there are some fun moments
+ story is enjoyable
+ diverse cast of witty and engaging characters
+ character models and cutscenes looks decent
+ some puzzles enjoyable. there are also inventory puzzles you can combine some items
+ three playable characters and they are quite likeable

cons

- lack of background musics in some scenes
- voice acting hit and miss
- some puzzle solutions quite nonsensical. therefore generally you don't know what supposed to do
- there are no steam achievements
- there are no cards
- lack of a button which shows hotspots causes pixel hunting
- lack of a interactive map causes too much backtracking
- a hint system would be helpful.
- the sound of footsteps grating on the ear

Overall this is a good sequel to the original and improves it also. if you like the first game, you re gonna like this one too.

Could've been good but too many annoyances made this game pretty unplayable.

There are parts I really liked about this game, the story are actual puzzles were enjoyable. But that's about it.

Technical glitches up the wazoo. Uggg. It completely crashed on me so many times and a couple of times after an event happened the game glitched, with dialogue popping up like it hadn't happened and I couldn't go back, couldn't go forward. So lame. Also, talk about clicking on super tiny specific things or one tiny hidden area of the screen to find an exit. I literally had to move my cursor slowly across one oasis scene trying to find the one small spot that finally popped up as an exit.

This is a pretty neat little adventure game. The puzzles have a good mix of obvious and not-so-obvious, the voice acting is not terrible and the world is... interesting. I did get a bit annoyed with some of the puzzles that make you run around the whole ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game to push buttons etc, but that's more a personal peve.

Would recommend to fans of the genre, but not non-puzzlers.

Really hard game to complete without a guide, I played this game to completion simply because I wanted it to be 'done' in my steam library but I had to follow a YouTube guide in order to complete it, the game is very very hard and I didn't understand the story so good either, I don't understand how anybody could play this game without a guide would take centuries to complete

good game
