So what does the second installment of Broken Age have to offer?įrom Elijah Wood’s snarkiness to Jennifer Hale’s shifts in emotional tone, this game has some solid actors attached.

With Vella trapped in the belly of the beast and Shay roaming the outside world for the first time, our two heroes struggle to collect their arsenal and put a stop to the alien conspiracy that connects both their worlds. At the start of Act Two, we learn that Shay’s “spaceship” was actually the interior of Mog Chothra. In Act One, we get to know our two teenage heroes: Shay, a boy kept coddled in a spaceship who wants to break free, and Vella, a girl who escapes her sacrifice at the Maidens Feast and pledges to destroy the evil creature Mog Chothra.

It took longer than expected for Act Two to finally come out, so now we can talk about the game from start to finish. This modern puzzle-adventure game was notable for its surreal premise, its brilliant colors and animation, and its origins as a wildly successful Kickstarter project, connected to Scafer and other veteran developers. If you’re a fan of the old point-and-click adventures games from the Nineties (or if you read my review from last year), then you probably know all about the hype surrounding Tim Schafer’s Broken Age project.
