The Journey Down: Chapter Two is bigger, but not quite better than its predecessor. However, in a three-part act, one chapter has to be the “weakest”, and rather this one than the opener. This game is still very good though, please don’t get me wrong. The increase in content and expanded story do the job of setting up what will hopefully be a thrilling finale.
Trevor Gould · Sep 30, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewMoving forward, any developer looking to create a point-and-click adventure would do well to look at The Journey Down as an example of the genre done right. My recommendation before you decide to pick up the first chapter is to ensure you’re committed to the long haul. By the end of the first chapter, you’ll be left wanting more, and it only gets better from there.
David Lloyd · Jul 30, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewSure, there are a few flaws here and there but for anyone who grew up on the classics from Sierra and Lucasarts, who cut their teeth on Beneath a Steel Sky or Broken Sword, or anyone who is, just now, discovering a love of graphical adventure games, The Journey Down presents the perfect opportunity to see just how fans, like you, can take what they’ve learned from games they love and turn them into a shining example of what this genre can offer.
Jamie Parry-Bruce · Sep 28, 2017 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewIf the third chapter keeps up the quality found here, the whole game stitched together will likely be one of the best traditional adventure games of the last decade or more. Don't let it slip by you.
Shaun Musgrave · Sep 11, 2014 Reviewed on iOSRead full reviewThe Journey Down: Chapter Two is hard to put down, and is absolutely worth your time, regardless of if you play point-and-click adventures. Though definitely check out Chapter One first if possible.
Carter Dotson · Sep 08, 2014 Reviewed on iOSRead full reviewThe Journey Down: Chapter Two offers no hints or even a notebook to store your thoughts, so I’d suggest playing through it in a relatively short space of time in case you forget what you were doing. It’s likely it’ll draw you in though, so that’s no great hardship. It takes what worked for the first episode and improves it enough to make you really hopeful for the third.
Jennifer Allen · Sep 02, 2014 Reviewed on iOSRead full reviewThe Journey Down: Chapter Two offers more and better story content than Chapter One did, exactly like was hoped. Things bode well for the finale and this chapter elevates the overall feel of the trilogy so far from a status of good point-and-click adventure to something more special than the first chapter taken on its own merits may have led some to expect.
Rudy Lavaux · Aug 03, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewThat's not to suggest you should skip over the series' first chapter, of course. The Journey Down is better enjoyed as a whole than in parts. Funny, clever, and challenging to just the right degree, The Journey Down: Chapter 2 continues its tradition of adventure game excellence.
Nadia Oxford · Sep 18, 2014 Reviewed on iOSRead full reviewThe Journey Down: Chapter Two was worth the two year wait. It’s comfortingly traditional if you pine for the old days, but not laden down with overly elaborate multi-layered puzzles that’ll keep you bashing your head against the wall for hours. It’s an adventure game for the times where you want to just relax, and maybe feel a little cleverer than you really are. Here’s to hoping we’re not looking at another long wait for the finale.
Fraser Brown · Aug 29, 2014 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewNevertheless despite these issues I still found myself enjoying The Journey Down: Chapter Two a lot as it is just a fun, charming adventure that gets the LucasArts spirit pretty darn right. The puzzles could be tougher, it needs a few more modern genre staples like a hint system, it bears more than a little similarity to Grim Fandango’s Year 2 and it often promises things (like certain interesting locations or the ability to call any phone you want) that it just can’t keep.

About the game
Far below the noisy metropolis of St. Armando, Bwana follows in the footsteps of his lost father together with Kito and Lina. In their search for the mysterious Underland, they discover a dark conspiracy shrouding the fate of Captain Kaonandodo. In the second chapter, the plot thickens as our heroes plunge down into the mist below the Edge and wind up in the foggy and treacherous town of Port Artue where they find themselves cornered by pirates and on the run from the law.
