    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is a mix of childish, crude, and lowbrow elements, often relying on raunchy and vulgar jokes that may not appeal to everyone. While some players appreciate the dry British wit and find the dialogue entertaining, others criticize it as forced and reminiscent of low-quality adult humor. Overall, the comedic style is divisive, with a strong appeal to those who enjoy edgy, boundary-pushing jokes.

    • “Whew, hilarious!”
    • “This solid, dry British humor thoroughly peppered with crassness and vulgarity won’t do for the easily offended but will absolutely please the audience that’s into nothing-is-off-limits jokes.”
    • “There are parts when this causes the game to drag a bit, such as during the dating segment, but mostly it's worth clicking on all the dialogue tree options to see all the funny lines.”
  • story
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in this game is described as a mix of humor and absurdity, with a tightly written plot that effectively leads into the next episode without leaving unresolved issues. While some players appreciate the engaging dialogue and exploration, others find the narrative weaker compared to previous installments, with criticisms aimed at its structure and overall execution. Overall, it serves as a solid middle chapter in the series, though opinions on its quality vary significantly.

    • “The plot, by the way, while full of absurdities, is tightly written and yet again manages to complete a full story within the episode, skillfully leading a player to the third and final part without any cliffhangers or unresolved feelings.”
    • “An amazing click adventure puzzle game with a nice storyline.”
    • “Most of your time is spent talking to lots of different people and getting them to open up dialogue options you need to progress the story.”
    • “Personally, I found the plot a bit weaker than the other two episodes.”
    • “I'd say that overall this is a solid middle story to the series because it offers more to explore and accomplish, though it lacks the structure of the first and the third episodes.”
    • “A f*cking sh*tty @ss game, with @ss controls and terrible story...”
  • graphics
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are characterized by a cartoonish and simplistic style that effectively complements the game's raunchy and humorous tone. While some users noted brief graphical glitches, particularly in specific scenes, the overall visual presentation is considered pleasant despite these minor issues.

    • “As in the case with the first episode, the cartoonish, simplistic graphics full of caricatures perfectly highlight the game’s raunchy, violent, and hilarious world.”
    • “The game offers some nice graphics; although there are some ugly glitches here and there, it is pleasant all the same.”
    • “The graphics are not state of the art.”
    • “I experienced some graphics glitches during the restaurant scene, but fortunately they were brief.”
  • stability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game exhibits stability issues, including brief graphics glitches and a buggy user interface, which detracts from the overall experience. While the visuals are generally appealing, audio distortion and unengaging puzzles further highlight the game's instability.

    • “Lastly, this episode is also a bit buggy like the first.”
    • “I experienced some graphics glitches during the restaurant scene, but fortunately they were brief.”
    • “The UI is buggy at best, the audio is distorted at times, and the puzzles are not even puzzles or are not fun.”
  • gameplay
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay features classic point-and-click mechanics with logical inventory puzzles and humorous dialogue options that enhance the experience. It also includes multi-character segments reminiscent of "Day of the Tentacle," allowing for collaborative problem-solving. The sequel in the Hector series builds on its predecessor with notable improvements in gameplay and puzzle design.

    • “Two times the gameplay changes to a multi-character adventure like Day of the Tentacle, in which you have to exchange objects with each other and solve problems together, which is awesome.”
    • “Classic point-and-click gameplay lets you progress via logical (to the lewd universe of the game) inventory puzzles and exhausting dialogue options, some of which are there just to add comic value but are totally worth exploring.”
    • “Two times the gameplay changes to a multi-character adventure like 'Day of the Tentacle' in which you have to exchange objects with each other and solve problems together, which is awesome.”
    • “The second game in the Hector series is a great sequel to the first and has many improvements in the gameplay and the puzzles throughout.”
