Another banger instalment in the Frog Detective trilogy. The first game was an excellent proof of concept and Frog Detective 2 builds on that in exactly the ways I wanted.
This time Frog Detective, still the second best detective in the agency, is tasked to find out how and why a parade in the village Warlock Wood has been ruined. Oh and that one of the denizens of the village is an Invisible Wizard.
The humour in this game is even better than the last, with the subtle dry sarcastic wit brought even further to the foreground. Although that is still a small part of the light and breezy tone the entire game has. There is even a character that is outright rude to Frog Detective and other denizens of Warlock Wood, which is as outrageous as it sounds. And what characters. The entire cast of Frog Detective 2 is more varied and vibrant compared to the first game, with a couple of them making me laugh a lot. I continue to adore this series' whole vibe.
The gameplay has been expanded upon. You actually have a notebook to keep track of who you have spoken to and what task needs to be done for each character, which was nice. Plus, it is an extra joke delivery mechanism. Additionally, there is actually some light detective work to be done by exploring the environment looking for items. You can accus people of being suspicious although this doesn't do anything, it does look cool. And to top it all off, multiple endings depending on a choice you make.
The graphics have that same simple charm to them and the jazzy score is as great as always. Frog Detective 2 is a worthy follow-up to Frog Detective 1 and it makes me wonder what the third instalment has for me. Frog Detective is going to the Wild West it seems so who knows what might happen there.
We all get a little extorted now and then.
