You will find yourself cursing this idiotic sorcerer quite a few times. Simon 2 is just like its predecessor a painfully difficult game (at least in certain locations). The hunt for the lost pixels! Because that’s wat Simon the Sorcerer 2 is mostly about: finding stuff, sealed away in background layers, carefully put aside. Ha! The Hunt beginsĪnd with The Hunt, I really mean the hunt. When you’re not actively doing anything for a few minutes, he’ll lean forward, looking out of the monitor screen, trying to figure out whether you’re alive or not. He sometimes makes sarcastic jokes about people walking by or talks to himself. Instead of playing a role as the protagonist in the game by moving him around, picking stuff up and solving puzzles, Simon also talks to you - the player. It sometimes made me laugh out loud, but the humor is classified as either love it or hate it. In Simon, you mostly answer sarcastig, ironic or plain brutal. In most other adventure games, you’ve traditionally given the option to answer a couple of “straight” questions, and a couple of stupid ones. Simon loves to harass innocent people, this is an integral part of the humor carefully weaven into the main game. Most characters from Simon the Sorcerer I return and sometimes the plot is unclear so be sure to play the first game before installing the sequel. When Sordid, the evil boss from the prequel, decides to get rid of Simon for good, things are about to fire up real good. Simon the Sorcerer is an arrogant sorcerer who is unluckily teleported to this fantasy Dimension by a young boy, Runt.

You can clearly see the subtitle is being borrowed from The Chronicles of Narnia, and there are plenty of references to Lord of the Rings, Monkey Island and even Dungeons & Dragons. Simon 2 features many references and funny jabs to to popular literature, pop-culture, fantasy and other adventure-games. If you do not like Blackadder and company, don’t bother installing this game.
