  • story
    124 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of "Empress of the Deep 2: Song of the Blue Whale" is a continuation of Anna's journey from the first game, featuring a mix of cliches and melodrama that some players found enjoyable while others deemed forgettable and repetitive. While the narrative offers light entertainment and some intriguing elements, it suffers from significant plot holes and a lack of depth in character development. Overall, the game is seen as a decent sequel with improved presentation, but it may not resonate with those unfamiliar with the series.

    • “I loved the story of this game; the puzzles were not too hard but enough to make you think.”
    • “A sweet game with a lovely story.”
    • “The story is great and the graphics are so beautiful.”
    • “The story is straight up magical nonsense rubbish.”
    • “The story is sadly fairly forgettable, but will offer some light entertainment value for the duration of the game.”
    • “I couldn't get into the story at all - partly because of the bad voice acting, and partly because, well, it was stupid.”
  • graphics
    44 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are widely praised for their beauty and colorful artwork, with many reviewers highlighting the nostalgic art style and imaginative design influenced by far eastern aesthetics. While the visuals are generally considered impressive, some users noted a lack of resolution options and minor inconsistencies in quality, particularly in hidden-object scenes. Overall, the game's graphics contribute significantly to its appeal, enhancing the casual gaming experience.

    • “The artwork was beautiful and there was lots of it.”
    • “Art design is just as beautiful and imaginative, this time heavily influenced by far eastern concepts of aesthetics, alongside preserving the former Atlantean theme.”
    • “Empress of the Deep 2, the middle part of a trilogy, faithfully follows the footsteps of the first game with even more astonishing visuals, better gameplay, and a more rewarding puzzle system.”
    • “There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”
    • “Stupid uninventive story, boring and extremely repetitive game actions, repetitive minigames, bad graphics quality, confusing hidden-object scenes (usually solvable just by random clicking) and completely useless map that's even worse than in the first game.”
    • “The graphics are better, but still not up to par with modern standards.”
  • music
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in "Empress of the Deep 2: Song of the Blue Whale" is generally described as pleasant, with a decent soundtrack that enhances the experience, although it is not considered spectacular. Some sound effects are noted to be well-suited to their contexts, contributing positively to the overall atmosphere of the game. While the music and visuals are appreciated, the game itself is seen as somewhat dated and lacking in innovation.

    • “The soundtrack is also quite good, as the voice acting.”
    • “A very nice soundtrack.”
    • “Visuals and music are nice.”
    • “Empress of the Deep 2: Song of the Blue Whale is relatively expensive for an abandonware nostalgia gouge, at $5 USD, and it's not worth it.”
    • “Regardless, for all intents and purposes, Empress of the Deep 2: Song of the Blue Whale might as well be a mobile app; it has the same limitations and dumbed down qualities.”
    • “Empress of the Deep 2: Song of the Blue Whale changed little over the previous title: it still feels like a mixture of Myst-like adventure games with classic hidden object mechanics, plus a few easy puzzles added on top.”
  • gameplay
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is standard for the hidden object genre, primarily involving point-and-click mechanics with static scenes and familiar puzzles. While it retains many elements from its predecessor, the sequel offers improved visuals and a slightly more engaging puzzle system, making it a more appealing experience overall. However, some players find the gameplay to be basic and lacking in creativity, with an average duration of around four hours.

    • “Totally worth the buy, good gameplay, good puzzles (not complicated, but enjoyable), story is good and characters are nice.”
    • “Empress of the Deep 2, the middle part of a trilogy, faithfully follows the footsteps of the first game with even more astonishing visuals, better gameplay, and a more rewarding puzzle system.”
    • “This continuity is reflected in aesthetics that feature the same Jules Verne-like design (with greater detail); plot which takes the empress to a sky temple where she learns more about what happened during the century she spent asleep; and gameplay that makes you explore four different temples and makes you do another lap after you are seemingly finished– although this time the goal is to free the spirits of the four seasons by rescuing a number of animal guardians.”
    • “This is a pretty basic hidden object game with gameplay no different from your usual Artifex Mundi mobile app.”
    • “Storyline is dull and gameplay is not much better.”
    • “For everyone else who made the wise choice of not buying the first one, gameplay was about average with almost zero creativity in making it enjoyable.”
  • humor
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is heavily criticized for its overuse of high-pitched maniacal laughing, which detracts from the overall experience and storytelling. Many players feel that this repetitive element undermines the game's potential for a more engaging narrative.

    • “There's no amnesia to get through, no wondering why she can't figure out that the laughing child is indeed evil; it all fits much more smoothly and leads you to a better story altogether.”
  • atmosphere
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is widely praised for its engaging and mysterious qualities, enhanced by open locations that are framed by expansive skies. This contrasts with the more oppressive atmosphere of its predecessor, creating a captivating fantasy world that draws players in.

    • “The openness of the locations, all are rimmed by sky, gives a greater sense of mystery than the oppressive atmosphere of the earlier game.”
    • “Engaging fantasy world and atmosphere.”
    • “Very atmospheric.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from poor optimization, being locked at a 4:3 aspect ratio without support for modern display resolutions, which hinders its performance on contemporary gaming PCs. It has not been updated to run smoothly, leaving players frustrated with its outdated technical limitations.

  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers solid replayability through a fun mini game unlocked upon completion, although the plot may be confusing for newcomers. The difficulty level is well-balanced, and the overall length of the game contributes positively to the replay experience.

    • “The plot is pretty incomprehensible to anyone who hasn't played the first game (like me!), but the difficulty level is good, the game is a good length, and on completion, you unlock a replayable mini game which is genuinely fun.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The grinding aspect of the game is often viewed as tedious and unimaginative, though some players note a slight improvement over previous iterations. Overall, it remains a lackluster experience that may not engage all players.
