Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness Episode 2 has the longest title of any game I can think of. It is the brainchild of Penny Arcade, the long running webcomic by Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik. These days there are tons of webcomics out there to provide endless humor filled (or sometimes humorless) commentary on video games, but Penny Arcade was one of the first.
The game’s biggest strength is its wacky dialogue, which makes the game feel like a 5-hour long Penny Arcade comic. The gameplay is a combination between action-adventure and RPG, with a semi-turned based combat system. Overall, Episode 2 builds on the strengths of Episode 1 and offers a solid gameplay experience. Your enjoyment will probably be directly proportional with your familiarity with and appreciation of Penny Arcade. Haters of Penny Arcade need not apply.
The Good:
- Tons of funny lines/moments resulting in an overall incredibly amusing and entertaining experience
- Action oriented battle system keeps players on their toes
- Game blends different game genres into a relatively smooth experience
The Bad:
- Lack of enemy types leads to some monotonous sections
- A lot of references to previous episode/Penny Arcade can make the story confusing and feel like a throw away
- Gameplay is beginning to feel a little stale
