60 of 188 · most liked firstThe original Black Mirror was an interesting bit of classic adventuring, a slow burn through the mysteries of an ancient British castle and its noble line. Personally I loved it but it's a tough sell in the modern era, with some questionable puzzles and practically glacial pace. Black Mirror II needs no such qualifications though, as it builds on the pedigree by improving virtually every part of the formula. You play Darren Michaels, a young physics major out of Boston who's spending time with…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A worthy sequel to the first Black Mirror. This game, released 8 years later than the first game, has improved on every aspect. The graphics are detailed and look great, the voice acting is... alright, but still better than the first game, and the story managed to keep a good continuation from the first game, which was not intended to have any sequels! The ending is a pretty big cliffhanger, but luckily Black Mirror III is readily available. The puzzles are excellent, and you won't have to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Black Mirror 2, like the first in the series it is a point and click murder mystery. pros: >Voice Acting >Models >Animation >Backgrounds Cons: >Atmosphere (no where near as good as the first, game did not seem spooky at all) >Story (good how they tied up some plot holes from the first but i thought the story was rather dull) >Facial expressions are non exsistent Overall i thought the game was lackluster. the story and atomsphere never got going and the game felt like a chore to play…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a must for fans of the first game, but I hated with a passion all the characters. The protagonist talks and behaves in ways that are endlessly irritating and arrogant, and everyone else's dialogues are not much better. The spoken audio is often very low volume, making it difficult to understand even with Music and Ambient turned to the minimum, and captions are often difficult to read. Other than that, its an average point and click adventure. The original game was, in my opinion, way…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Black Mirror II takes place 12 years after the events of the original Black Mirror. If you liked the first game I think you will like this one too. You play as Darren Michaels, a college student from Boston. I found Darren to be every bit as unlikeable as Samuel Gordon, the original protagonist in the first game. Now Darren has a Bostonian accent - I'm not sure how authentic it is but I found it a bit annoying. Darren is a physics major and very clever at making use of everyday objects…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Das ursprüngliche Black Mirror, der erste Teil, war ein in sich abgeschlossenes Spiel, das auch alleine sehr gut bestehen kann. Die Fortsetzung ist jedoch für Kenner der Reihe ein Muss. So erfolgreich, wie der erste Teil war, wartete jedermann auf eine Fortsetzung. Bereits der Einstieg ist spannend. Nun steuert man Darren Michaels, der besonders am Beginn abweisend und etwas unsympathisch wirkt. Ich hatte jedenfalls einige Aufwärmschwierigkeiten. Ich fand den Hauptdarsteller unsympathisch,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really enjoyed the game - most of the puzzles could be solved logically if you paid attention to what was said and to your surroundings - I played the easy mode just in case I'd want to skip a puzzle, but they were all doable it is a little gory, so be warned if you are squeamish, there are murders and multiple deaths for the protagonist - save often! all in all a fun game, though - I highly recommend it - for me, Black Mirror III awaits :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I miss games like this, unfortunately not a lot of them these days. Great story plot, and for someone who is a sucker for point and click this is top 1 series
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →*** PLEASE BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY, This was the PERFECT Game of all time ever! EVERYTHING fit into place perfectly! You never wondered if something would combine, fit or trigger the next part of the puzzle. There were all the elements of a true amazing adventure game. There was a detective angle to it as well. The story was excellent. The characters were terrific. And the locations were super duper COZY!!! EVERYTHING kept making sense as you went along. Like a great movie or novel, you couldn't…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Picks up somewhat later in the game, but utterly lacks the haunted grace and uncanny charm of its predecessor. The inner mind of some teenie bopping college kid (Darren) is just less interesting than that of the stuffy, cursed, aristocrat, Samuel Gordon, of Black Mirror I. It's not a bad game, but if I really wanted bad graphics, unlikable characters, and mediocre dialogue I could walk down my own town street. Worth playing perhaps to get to Black Mirror III.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very obviously not made by the people who made the first game. I don't think I connected with a single character. Weird voice acting, even weirder choice to make the main character talk to the player in a really odd way. When you're in the store at the beginning of the game, Fuller not only has possibly the worst voice acting in the entire game, he also has one singular "voiceline" where he coughs that just keeps playing over and over again while you're in the store. Quite a sad sequel to a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A good follow up of the first game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an instance where I would say that the sequel surpassed the original. Pros: Unlike the first Black Mirror, there were plot twists that caught me unexpected. In the first, I already knew exactly where the main plot was heading, and so the climactic reveal fell flat. While there were elements of the story that I felt were coming, there was still enough to surprise me that I got to enjoy experiencing the plot as I played. The storyline ties into and expands on the first game, and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The plot of The Black Mirror dates back centuries, with Mordred, a name from Arthurian legends, tying into the story of both this game and its sequel. Players revisit the #Welsh manor in a more dilapidated state in Black Mirror II.
unlabelledView post →I really wish there was an option to give a mixed review for cases like this, instead of just positive or negative. Since the vast majority of reviews are positive, I'll go with negative, because while this game isn't a bad point-and-click adventure overall, it does have some aspects that are truly off-putting. First, the positives: Like the first installment in the series, Black Mirror II succeeds in creating a rich atmosphere – perfect for fans of cozy horror. While the first two chapters…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A surprisingly well done point & click adventure with some minor shortcomings. It sticks to the old recipe that made these games great, before they ended up being cinematic walking simulators like the latest Syberia (which I loved btw). This one brings back the old Broken Sword 1 and 2 vibes but with less focus on the humor and more on the 'horror'. Main point in these games has always been the story and the voice acting and for me both were more than adequate. I found the story quite…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great sequel. +The story of Black Mirror I continues and it's written even better than the original. There are many familiar places and references from the first game and the story is a direct continuation. +Graphics look better and has the charming 2000's game aesthetics. Scenery is even better than the first game and there are tons of places to see throughout the story. +Protagonist is kind of grumpy but likable. +Quality of life additions such as extra hints & point of interest indicators.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Black Mirror II is everything you would want from a sequel: introduces cool new characters. Bring memorable characters back. Better voice acting, story-telling, puzzles and quality of life improvements. Easily, the best of the franchise.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pros: -Solid point & click adventure game for those who enjoy them Cons: -Tough to really get immersed in, very slow going
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Black Mirror trilogy is quintessential underrated point and click adventure. The second game improves upon the first one in every aspect and is a very solid, thrilling and fun point and click adventure with reasonable puzzles and several homages to the first game. Off to play the thrid and last!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This review does have potential spoilers, especially if you didn't play the first game. I do highly suggest playing the series in order for this game to make sense. Though if you don't want to play the first game there's plenty of stories and explanation of what happened in BM1 in this game. BUT- still a good idea to start with BM1. I guess after multiple replays and almost 50 hours I forgot to review this game. I will warn, that if you play with "Advanced Graphics on" you'll get some…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Black Mirror II, builds on its predecessor in every way. It continues the story of the haunted castle known as Black Mirror, but from the next generation. Some characters from the first game return, but having aged significantly. Many loose narrative ends are tied up quite eloquently, and we revisit many of our beloved locations: Willow Creek, Black Mirror, Wales. The graphics and art style are gorgeous (sort of reminds me of LiS, but it predates it by over a decade). Compared to the first…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good point and click adventure, though the beginning bit is a bit slow. Voice acting of main lead not great. Perhaps the script was poor in some places. Overall I recommend it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is very nostalgic. Some of the dialog can be cringe at times, but still pretty good storyline/ gameplay.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice visuals and gameplay mechanics but the story completely destroys what the first game built. Like a horrible tv sequel to a great cinematic thriller.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really great game. love this story
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Excellent game. This game has great reviews for a reason. Great story, great characters, puzzles, etc. Scary and yet funny at times. Just wonderful.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You need to play the first part before you play this. Playing through all three is strongly recommended. Good story. The second game kinda feels like a buildup to the third one, but it's still worth it to re-visit locations and plots from the first game. Had a good time!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rarely is a point-and-click adventure as absorbing and immersive as in the case of the Black Mirror series. Superb scenery, weather, ambient sounds, and music all masterfully come together into an almost a life-like experience. Now, Black Mirror II revolves entirely around Darren, a protagonist who stands ever-armed with cynical and pessimistic quips. Whether you enjoy the story or not will strongly depend on how you like the cast.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Black Mirror II is a decent adventure game with a few annoyances. The protagonist is an arrogant arse. Several of the English accents portrayed are absolutely appalling. Murray, Tom, Sally. Just terrible. The double-click feature to accelerate time fails regularly. Sound isn't normalised properly so the voices are far too quiet at one moment and then much louder a moment later causing you to have to see-saw the volume up and down, which is very annoying, and the speech is incredibly verbose .…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The sequel was made by different people than the original game, and it shows. It's definitely a much better adventure game, staying well away from most of the glaring gameplay flaws of its ancestor. I still wouldn't call it perfect: some puzzles are too straightforward, some others are too much about pixelhunting a small missed item somewhere - but that's all pretty common in the genre. By far, the worst thing you'll find here is a maze - one that you'll have to reverse-navigate later a second…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you, like me, loved the experience of the first game and came to the sequel for more, don't bother. I'm very sad to say i don't recommend this game at all, it was a massive disappointment. The original writers had nothing to do with this game and that really shows. The characters are all insufferable to listen to, including the main character, which is... not great considering this is a dialogue centric game. A bit of snark can be fun, but when the game revolves around clicking on literally…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This one is a very good sequel. One can see a lot of effort and work was put into it and some weak spots of the first one from 2003 that bugged me a little were fixed. Excellent adventure!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Am I the only one who thinks the story should have stopped at that ending?! That's one of the best Point & Click adventure games I've ever played. It's one of those ideal games that should be defining the standards for its genre. what's so good about it? 1- Graphics: 4/5 One of the most notable pros for P'n'C games are the beautiful background. the game doesn't deviate from this. Funnily though, I think the first game has even better backgrounds! still that doesn't mean it's so beautiful…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gonna admit, not having Samuel again was a bit sad but understandable and Darren's pessimistic attitude brought me down a lot throughout the game. But sticking to the game until I can get back to the Black Mirror mystery was worth it. I love seeing characters from the first game again and what they've been doing. A good mix of dialogues and puzzles this time around.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great old fashioned point&click adventure game. Try to buy the trilogy on sale and binch-play for utmost enjoyment and to savour the complete story.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you liked black mirror I or tolerated enough to finish it you should play this. It's got everything that was good about 1 but almost none of the bade gameplay choices. For and adventure game it's fairly easy to finish without a guide this time around. The big story difference is the areas are not as dark and oppressive witch I didn't like but the story moved along with a lot more urgency. If you didn't or couldn't be bothered to finish 1 don't bother with this it assumes you are already…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Joint review for Black MIrror I, II and III: I highly recommend finishing Black Mirror I before starting II and III. BM I is harder, more outdated, and tends to crash if you alt-tab in the game, so save often and you may need a walkthrough. A lot of it is "hidden object" type of gaming and the objects are sometimes unfairly hidden IMHO. But something about the old style of this game makes it even more creepy, possibly more than the next two in some ways. BM II and III were produced around…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A trully amazing game! I liked the first one but i loved the sequel. Am a fan of point and click adventures and i got all 3 Mirrors on sale. And am glad that i did. The story has its twists and turns with a lot of mystery. This sentence states taken from the title below "When solitary Darren Michaels befriends the beautiful Angelina, he has no idea what the fates hold in store for him" and so neither did I :) . Compare to the first Mirror the second one is a great improvent in every aspect of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great point & click adventure. A must have for adventure games fans. Pick up objects and use through the inventory. Great graphics and sound. It autosaves between chapters only. Great story, various locations that you can go by using a map. Finish it on windows 10 in about 13 hours.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Verdict ✅ Strongly Recommended A personal all-time favorite and one of those classic point-and-click adventures I can replay forever. Personal context 🏆 This is my 7th favorite game of all time. ⏱️ On Steam: finished twice for almost 24 hours total. 🕰️ I have been playing it since 2009, and overall I have completed it 10+ times. 🇨🇿 The Czech dubbing is a huge part of why I love it. 📌 I even made a Steam walkthrough guide for it. Who this is for 🎯 Play this if you like: classic adventure…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Muuuuuuch better than its predecessor. The puzzles are still fun, generally logical, and thankfully this game does away with the horrible mechanic of having to visit every available location and speak to every NPC multiple times to unlock the next stage of a quest. However this game still suffers, though not as badly, from stilted dialog -- "Exuse me" . . . long, awkward silence . . . ten seconds later "yes, may I help you?" Six hours of my 13.5 hrs on record were spent waiting for someone else…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Black Mirror II and III basically constitute one game, and let me tell you that it's an amazing adventure well worth playing. It has almost everything to please: great atmosphere due to the amazing art, music and sound effects, great characters, great voice acting (with one notable exception). There's a lot of humor due to the main character's cynical remarks, but without making the whole thing goofy: in fact, there's a realistic feeling to it all rarely present in adventure games, and it's a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the best adventure games ever made
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →OK game, good story telling, a bit long. All puzzels can be figured out by just spending time enough.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The sequel with the slowest introduction ever Whenever I feel like replaying the original Black Mirror, I always end up skipping the second and third game. This time I was reminded why. I honestly don’t know how the developers thought such a slow introduction was a good idea. At times I even forget I’m playing a Black Mirror game. The section set in Maine is full of pointless filler that doesn’t add any real context to the story. There’s a completely unnecessary subplot and several characters…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →https://youtu.be/BKVdMp9ftfw Spending much of the prologue with fetch quests and menial tasks the excitement and mystery elements are suffocated by the pacing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Black Mirror II had big shoes to fill as the sequel to the original adventure. With a different developer the game took a new approach—modernized visuals, fresh characters, and a setting that gradually ties back to the chilling mystery of the first game. While some of the animations feel a bit silly, the game still manages to build an eerie atmosphere. And despite its slower pace, some of the death scenarios genuinely caught me off guard(actually making me jump more than once). From a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Weeeell that was a plot twist
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Black mirror I was a GREAT game. Good history, atmospheric, good characters. The devs forgot about all that in this game. The main character is a pain in the xxxxx, with his stupid remarks all the time, the story is just stupid, the way it's told is laughable...And I'm not even gonna comment on the animations, and the music and speech volume... Some nice puzzles, that's all. DON'T play this one...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Even after nine years, I find myself returning to this game. It has consistently been one of my favorites, and I know it will remain so for many years to come. ♰ Deuteronomy 32:35 It is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near and their doom rushes upon them. ♰ Jeremiah 9:8 Their tongue is a deadly arrow; it speaks deceitfully. With their mouths they all speak cordially to their neighbors, but in their hearts they set traps for them.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Black Mirror: impressive dive into mental illness and the supernatural starring a narrator who is poleaxed at the slightest obstacle Black Mirror 2: an extra from Good Will Hunting larping as the world's least charming or believable detective this is actually intentional and nobody in-game believes him either lmfao Much better pacing than the first game. There are plenty of subtle (and not so subtle) callbacks to the original for attentive players, beyond the actual narrative. The plot is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game's plot is so thick it could undo a vasectomy. I'm not even kidding. Especially if you played the first part.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Much more reasonable game with far better mechanics. It rewards you with having knowledge about the first game, so that was fun. It still didn't really make it worth playing the first one, imo. The plot was okay, but the protagonist was as unlikable and obnoxious as the first protagonist- the only difference being that this protagonist is only nice to hot women and his mom. Which was cringe as hell. He's also completely unbothered by the fact that he took sexy pictures of his own sister and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →10 out of 10. My favorite point and click game so far. Was not too hard or too easy, but I didn't have to google any answers. I had played part 1, the original Black Mirror approx. 20 years ago. This was an awesome sequel.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute game got dark real fast...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Classic point and click adventure with reasonable riddles and combination tasks. Some are timed, but the game does a good job to save beforehand. Not necessary to play Black Mirror I before, but is advised.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game, but to much text that is not really needed.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good old Point and Click adventure.
