Ankh 2: Heart of Osiris
Developer Deck 13
Ankh: Heart of Osiris (German: Ankh: Herz des Osiris) is the second game in the Ankh series of video games. The game was released in Germany on October 30, 2006, in France on November 17, and in the United Kingdom on May 18, 2007. The development team originally considered to make the game as an expansion pack to Ankh, but was later developed as a pseudo-sequel to the first game. From Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0)

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Recomended, strongly for diehard adventure gamers. Writing, art and puzzles are all good. The game excells in theme and feel. It is funny, irreverent and well put together. Sometimes it can feel a little like "Monkey Island: The Egyptian Years", which is OK, as long you know what you're getting into.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Heart of Humor... You should buy this game if you like adventure games, humor, and you find it on sale. You should avoid this game if any of the above does not apply to you.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not the worst point and click adventure game but certainly not the best either. The voice acting is somewhat poor and the characters lack facial expressions. The story is kinda whack aswell especialy concerning what actions you have to take to save egypt. Overall Id give this a 3/10 honestly this just does not compete with the likes of sam and max, monkey island or broken sword. if your a big fan of point and clicks than i guess it would not hurt to give it a go but if your not a hardcore…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Loving this game! It is kinda tricky so I don't recommend this game to anyone that has a hard time being reaaaally patient. The puzzles are elite and I have to admit that I've had to use a walkthrough to get through a couple of the puzzles, but it's not impossible! The story line is an A+. However, there are a few things that should change, starting with the movement. The walking is VERY slow and can get annoying at times. I would also change the camera views to allow people to control the view…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Serious fans of the point-and-click genre may appreciate this one, but players who only occasionally visit this kind of game would do well to look somewhere else. 'Ankh 2' is tagged on Steam as a comedy, but genuinely humorous moments are quite rare. It isn't a particularly intuitive game, and the narrative mechanics are far too inflexible. I can remember one moment, for instance, when I had to shoo away an aggressive cat. I had in my inventory a piece of chicken but trying to use this to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've seen plenty of sequels that want to rely so heavily on building up to the third installment that the story goes missing (I'm looking at you, Dragon Age II!), but I've rarely seen a second game that uses the first as it's crutch. Mainly because that's such a stupid idea, and yet that's pretty much what Ankh 2 seems to be doing a lot of. I've never played the first, but with how many things are mentioned for happening in the first game and how little is explained at whatever the hell is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly, this game is just boring. Played for half an hour and nothing happend. The dialoge is dull and boring. Walking around is boring. There is just no incentive to carry on. Boring.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Could've been good but too many annoyances made this game pretty unplayable. There are parts I really liked about this game, the story are actual puzzles were enjoyable. But that's about it. Technical glitches up the wazoo. Uggg. It completely crashed on me so many times and a couple of times after an event happened the game glitched, with dialogue popping up like it hadn't happened and I couldn't go back, couldn't go forward. So lame. Also, talk about clicking on super tiny specific things…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a pretty neat little adventure game. The puzzles have a good mix of obvious and not-so-obvious, the voice acting is not terrible and the world is... interesting. I did get a bit annoyed with some of the puzzles that make you run around the whole ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game to push buttons etc, but that's more a personal peve. Would recommend to fans of the genre, but not non-puzzlers.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice Point & Click Adventure with lots of humor and charme in it like in the gold old DOS days.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →pros + nice looking cartoony and colorful 3D graphics + there are some fun moments + story is enjoyable + diverse cast of witty and engaging characters + character models and cutscenes looks decent + some puzzles enjoyable. there are also inventory puzzles you can combine some items + three playable characters and they are quite likeable cons - lack of background musics in some scenes - voice acting hit and miss - some puzzle solutions quite nonsensical. therefore generally you don't know…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really hard game to complete without a guide, I played this game to completion simply because I wanted it to be 'done' in my steam library but I had to follow a YouTube guide in order to complete it, the game is very very hard and I didn't understand the story so good either, I don't understand how anybody could play this game without a guide would take centuries to complete
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well, again, nothing to complain about. Same decent graphics as in Ankh 1, still interesting plot and almost every time logical puzzles (except in the quarry that musical thing...). Almost ten hours of playtime. A solid 8/10 point-and-click experience. Laughed twice (2).
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i thought i might write a review as nobody else seems to have bothered ???? guess they got bored with the game as quickly as i did ! ..... innstead of buying this game just give the money to a worthy cause ! it will bring more happiness than this game will
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Play the first Ankh game instead, its slightly more enjoyable. Ankh 2 is a disappointment so far for me and not much new is offered in the game early on. I also bought Ankh 3... but I do not have high expectations, as the sequel to the first game is already a letdown after the first hour and a half. I will push through and complete it some day, possibly changing my review, and move on to the third game in the trilogy. UPDATE: I finally finished the game.... I have good news and bad news...…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is not for me...its really confusing at first!And it never tells you where to go,and what to look in your whereabouts place of mentality! It's a burned-out wealthy puzzle family adventure i get it! But it never seems to have a kidnapping vengenance against those responsible playing it! Something Strange is happening,and it never has a indescribable look to it! Its all stranded with isolated roads with deep horror surges of figuring out relentlessly! Im sorry i wasnt pursued to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →lOVE THE GAME RECOMMEND IT HIGHLY HAVE TO PLAY
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game was a ton of sleep to me, i played it and i slept, once you get to the bar segment it becomes a natural sleep aid
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game. It's funny. And i played it 4 years ago. The feeling is the same: "How to solve this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ problem?"
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Ankh 2: Heart of Osiris " is an ancient game from 2007. It's a whopping 17 years old at the time of this review. The game lacks support for any modern gaming display resolutions (or widescreen monitors), hasn't been modernised or updated to run smoothly on modern gaming PCs. Despite this lack of modernisation, it carries a pretty high price tag for such an ancient game. This seems to have been put on Steam as a nostalgia gouge, or just a cash grab to try profit from abandonware. This is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is one of my favourite adventure games when it was released. For context, it was in late 2000s, it was the terrible drought of point and click adventure games, then, like a ray of sunshine, those games were released. Are they the best adventure games ever? No but they have a good sense of humour, fun puzzles and imaginative story. They're also a lot better than pretty much any other games released during those years.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sure. It's not the worst or best point and click but has it's moments. Needed a walkthrough for some parts.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game gets a thumbs up from me but barely. It's a decent little point and click adventure that was actually rated pretty highly during its time by the German gaming press but does not hold up particularly well. Let's start with the pros though: - Decent voice acting - Graphics are OK for a game from 2007 and the early days of 3D adventures - It's not too long and can be finished in well under 10 hours - You get to play as different characters and, in imho, all are more fun than the 'hero'…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was glad to see a sequel to this game. Beautiful art. Fun and intuitive story line and problem solving. Easy point & click navigation. Bright colors makes objects easy to see. I still have a lot farther to go in the game yet. Thank you developers & Steam.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First point & click game that I played 100% through, definitely can recommend.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sometimes a little strange how to solve the puzzles, but in the end it's fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Point & Click oyunları arasında sevilen bir yapım olan Ankh'ın ikinci oyunu ile beraberiz. Gelişen ve pozitif değişime uğrayan grafikleriyle, daha da eğlenceli ve sürükleyici hâle gelen mekanikleriyle önerebileceğim bir yapım. Eğer farklı oyun deneyimleri arıyorsanız kütüphanenize eklemenizi kesinlikle tavsiye ederim.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tags: Adventure - P&C - Point&Click Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Ankh series is a boring series of difficult point&click puzzles that require a guide to complete, while offering a kid oriented cartoony universe and characters. Not a good combination.
