Let us tell you a story...
Nordic Games' revisits the point-and-click adventure glory days known for titles such as Monkey Island and Simon the Sorceror. Although there are still some great adventure games out there, not many arrive on console (and even less on the Wii U), so it's always exciting to see how these titles play out. Although this game is a sequel you don't necessarily have to have played the first one, either, as it's fairly easy to catch on.
The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 sees you play as different characters throughout the game – Ivo the elf princess, Wilbur the gnome and Nate the - erm - human as they embark on an adventure to save the land of Avantasia from evil. You are thrown in straight away, taking on the role of Nate as he freefalls through the air. The introductory sequence and tutorial that follows are cleverly done and certainly useful, preparing us for the story to begin. You start in earnest as rebellious Ivo who is locked in her Elven home to avoid not only a strange epidemic, but her mother who is putting the pressure on for an arranged marriage.
