It has all the charm of the Adventure of Bertram Fiddle: Episode 1, but the puzzles were more frustrating (and not in a good way). As a side note, when the game first came out a lot of people were complaining about how many glitches there were in it. It seems like they fixed those issues. I didn't run across any in my play through.. This is what you'd call a VERY qualified reccomendation. All the best parts of the first game (humor, characters, puzzles that are usually more clever than obnoxious) are back, but unfortunately they've brought a host of bugs with them. I haven't encountered any of the major game breaking ones that others have mentioned, but the achievements are borked and the audio is wonky in places. That said, the developer has recently returned after a long hiatus and I still did enjoy it so a tentative thumbs up with the hopes of future polish (and a sequel!).. Good....But Well reviewing this game puts me in a bit of a predickalment as Bertram would say, I absoutely loved episode 1 & was looking forward to part2. Initially the game follows the same format of playing as Bertram Fiddle & occasionally as sidekick Gavin as & when needed.As a leading victorian explorator & amateur sleuth your mission is to trackdown & arrest Geoff the murderer. The map once again is set in victorian London & is much larger than episode 1 with a lot more puzzles to solve (some of which I found to be a bit obscure)The script, jokes & voice acting were again excellent but unfortunately were let down by some awful buggy programming. Items would disappear or not appear at all - including the characters on the odd occasion, the lip sync between character & dialogue was often off or non existant, 3 of the achievements are broken & therefore impossible to complete.All of which spoiled what could & should have been an enjoyable game, according to the forum the game has been abandoned by the devs (primarily due to a lack of money / time) & no further fixes will be made - such a shame.Having said that I still mangaged to finish the game ( not including achievements) which is the reason I still recomend it. If you are set on getting 100% achievements or can't handle the bugs then this game is definitely not for you, otherwise buy it when heavily discounted because it is still basically a little gem...7/10. Even after the updates, this game lags, freezes, and has bugs that make it impossible to complete. I couldn't get a refund because I hit a game-ending bug after 8 hours of playtime. Not worth it.. Im a big fan of Bertram Fiddle! The story is interesting, the puns are unbeatable and the dialogues are funny. The interface is the same like in the first part. I really like the style.I had a few problems with bugs though, some of the hot spots didnt work and the audio during the dialogues was inconsistent.. The achievements seem to be broken which is super sad. But the game itself is fun. If you are into puzzles and puns, Bertram is quite a nice adventure. Really love the hilarious voice acting.. Do not be fooled by the polished looking gaphics, this game is not finished. Rarely have I played game so riddled with bugs. Every single screen contained a glitch, character's mouths almost never moved when talking, audio files were missing, sprites were gliding all over the screen, items were disappearing and reappearing... This is a hot mess. It' like it was programmed over a single weekend and not playtested once.At the final chapter it finally happened, the game glitched me into an unwinnable state. Since it saves automatically, I couldn't reload an earlier save file either.Apparantly the dev ran out of budget and abandoned the project altogether. So do not expect any patches. This is unplaybale, do not waste your money.. Having really enjoyed episode one of Bertram Fiddle I was greatly aniticpating a bleaker prediclement, however I noticed the game had quite a few issues which I'll get onto in my pros and cons. Overall I would recommend this funny little game, especially when all the bugs are fixed.PROS- Brilliantly punny, I love the inappropraite sense of humour and dialogue in this game.- Great range of characters and background art- This version is much longer than episode 2 which was great as I felt the first was far too short- Great soundtrack and brilliant voice acting- Gavin's sayings or 'clues' were excellent, they really helped me out at times throughout the gameCONS- Bugs including the dialogue cutting into itself or repeating for no reason- Bertrams head disappearing - Some characters or background assets looking very low-resolution in places- Story [potential spoiler]; I felt the game was really nicely paced until the very last part of the game. The ending was rushed and the developers really missed a trick by not revealing that Geoff was actually a character that we've already met in the game. There were plenty of red herrings to chose from such as Lord Arthwipe, Lady Bertram or even Bertrams lady friend and it fell a bit flat at the end in terms of the storyline. - It concluded the adventure in just two episodes, but I want more. I think this adventure could have been three episodes! But I do hope it's not the end of Bertram and Gavin's adventurings!
