Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
This installment makes up for most of the things that went missing in the predecessor and catches on to success of Secret Files 1: lovely graphics and sound design, seamless blend of maps and scenes, mix between mystery, twists and believability, well-embedded challenging original puzzles, not too many mini-games, atmosphere, some attention to culture; a lead that is true to character, not too friendly not too obnoxious, some witty comments.
