positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The continuing adventures of Gail Pilgrim and Margaret Dale as you work to unravel the mysteries behind the events of Year 1. By the way, how many years are there in a typical Academy course? Just have a... feeling... Anyway, if you liked the rest of the Gail Pilgrim Saga, and don't mind a few (or more) callbacks to the original Space Pilgrim Saga, this is a game you will enjoy. You probably should consider buying the Saga bundle, just for the sake of your wallet... not that the games are all…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ok, for the person that had bought all the games from the Space Piligrim Series and played this game for 6 hours to write a negative review sounds pretty strange, but I will try to explain my point of view. As you know, there are two types of gameplay here. At first you have to look and interact with objects and it's pretty interesting because you need to use some logic, especially when you combine them, and Studing. The last one just killed me. You know, if you had to answer some logical…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Space Pilgrim Academy: Year 2 is a nice adventure game on the RPG Maker format. It's a sequel to the 1st chapter Space Pilgrim Academy (which was the sequel to a previous excellent and fantastic serie named Space Pilgrim Saga) Though it’s better to have played the 1st episode (and preferably the whole previous saga) to be acquainted with the storyline and the now legendary characters of the Space Pilgrim Saga, Space Pilgrim Academy: Year 2 can still be enjoyable for itself, even without…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This series continues to be one of my favourite indie games on Steam. There's a ton of worldbuilding and political intrigue packed into the story. The puzzles actually require a bit of thinking, but never feel unfair. Also, you can pet the ship's cat.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL/DR 10/10: Without all of the other positives from the Space Pilgrim Saga existing in Space Pilgrim Academy: Year 2, the perfect score alone is justified by the fact that this installment features Maggie's most interesting classes ever. Overview If you haven't played any of the other games in the Space Pilgrim Saga, then stop reading and go play them! But for those of you who already know what the Space Pilgrim Saga is about, the game obviously takes place in Maggie Dale's second year at…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I feel like this game is proof that your faith can be rewarded. I'm a long-time fan of the Space Pilgrim series, but was very disappointed by the first installment in Spage Pilgrim Academy (read my [url=https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198054570404/recommended/694370/]review of Year 1 here). To be honest, it feels like when they made this they corrected every single one of my complaints about that entry without losing any of the positives: the writing was tighter, the two storylines…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game in the saga is worth playing. I must say I was not a fan of the tedious, mind-numbing repetition of scenes in order to get all the achievements though. Onto the next game, #3.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →RPG Maker strikes again! Space Pilgrim Academy: Year 2 is one of hundreds of low effort retro-pixel RPG Maker asset/construction kit flips spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit... in their own words, "Our easy to use tools are simple enough for a child." Like all RPG Maker "games", this is essentially a bunch of low quality/canned assets from RPG Maker coupled with a cringeworthy high school anime club fan fiction. As often happens with this RPG…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another great adventure game from Pilgrim Adventures. It shows that good writing can overcome everything including using RPG Maker.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another installment of the Space Pilgrim Saga, even better than the last chapter, with the continued development of the characters and more detail to the political universe surrounding them. Several achievements require repeating a classroom scene many times over, up to 7 or more to get all achievements. This requires patience but I actually liked it as it helps you to remember some details about different political factions, which come up later on in the larger story about corruption across…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Space Pilgrim series continues to stand out from the crowd of RPG Maker games. The series mixes adventure game and visual novel mechanics to good effect, and the writing is top-notch. I highly recommend this game and all of the others in the series.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Please give us the Year 3 ASAP!!!!!!!!!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another fantastic installment of the series. The story is really heating up...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It might be Win 10 or something on my side but 2 complete freeze of this game within the first Minutes make it impossible to play even if I save regular. For year 1 it was at last 15 Minutes I could play in one go but with year 2 its not even 5 minutes.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really good to get for the trading cards when its bundled on sale
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you liked the narrative in Space Pilgrim Academy: Year One, you will not be disappointed here. There's plenty of good twists and callbacks to the original games' characters that keep things interesting. Some of the academic classes and exercises are entertaining here when trying for all the different options, I particularly enjoyed the combat tactic scenario that plays out in the holodeck. Another solid entry in this series, some annoying backtracking but not overstaying its welcome. Like…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Space Pilgrim Academy: Year 2, developed by Pilgrim Adventures and published by GrabTheGames, is a narrative-focused adventure that continues the story of Margaret Dale and her colleagues at the Galactic Union Academy. Building on the foundation of the first game, Year 2 expands the universe with deeper storytelling, complex character interactions, and an engaging science-fiction setting. Players step back into the shoes of Margaret, now navigating her second year at the academy, as she…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While the original Space Pilgrim games largely took place one after the other, the first two being the sole exception, the Academy games have sizable gaps between them to accommodate for each school year. This allows for events to brew between entries, giving weight to the end of each. It's also good for showing that the students are developing stronger bonds with both their classmates and teachers. As is often the case with larger casts, Year 1 focused a lot on introducing everyone and show…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Locking multiple achievements behind branches of a single scene? More than once? Ugh.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After finishing Year 1 I had no choice but to play this one straight away. I just had to know how the story would go on, and Year 2 delivers. Same as the first game, there are no battles here at all. It plays like an old-school adventure again. Searching locations for items, combining them and working out what to do with them. The puzzles still fit the story nicely. The characters carry it again too. The ones I liked from Year 1 are back, and the new ones fit in well. The story keeps its mix…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yes. It's a visual novel, and it's good. So, yes.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The classes and tests are less excruciating than year 1, but I still hate that portion of the game, I hate it so much. Plus it's just filler, I'd rather have shorter games that is straight to the point like the first 4 episodes. I'm only pushing through these last games because I wanna see how the story ends. Sad that there's so much boring filler school stuff.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The second game of the Space Pilgrim Academy improves upon its predecessor by opting for quality over quantity: including fewer Academy class based puzzles for Maggie but making them more detailed and interesting. The world-building is also deeper with exploration of the various factions in the Galactic union and their motivation. These provide better context to the over-arching plot. While the Academy map is largely the same, the inclusion of missions at new locations, for both Maggie and Gail…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i'm copy pasting the same review for all Space Pilgrim Academy game since they're basically one game split in multiple parts. With a limited system through RPGMaker this still manages to tell a very good story, with a fun soundtrack and decent puzzle challenges throughout. The characters returning from the previous series take a backseat to the new ones a lot which I don't mind as I prefer focusin on the generation, also going away from the idea that everything could've been solved quickly,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really good storytelling, enjoyed it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A continuation of the adventure story from Space Pilgrim Academy: Year 1, and a sequel from The Space Pilgrim Saga. one of the rpgmaker games that consider to have a good story, highly recommended.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →opens up the lore a bit more and is well paced. although i don't fine it quite as good as the episodes.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →fun RPGmaker game with a great story
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just like everyone else has said, the writing is just really well done. This is what sets this series apart from so many others, is not the graphics, not the animation, but the writing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I believe the series is a good one. The story is solid but Year 2 still got few bugs left (of wich one outrageus in the cutscene at the opening of the prologue) and developers are gone to others projects. So I believe this could be considered a dead horse for them (as it was released years ago). So you get it as it was left back in 2020. I would say Play the first 4 episodes of Space Pilgrim, then Sentience: The Android's Tale (as a filler as it got the same SCI-FI feeling) and then if you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice game, enjoyable series. Simple yet fun adventure. Soooome grind if you are trying to do all the achievements, which means going back and replaying. It would be nice to have a way of escaping/bypassing cut-scenes (or of saving in the middle). (Note that I have the same review for all the games in the series. They were all pretty fun in a low-key way.)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The story continues with Gail and Maggie in Year 2. Gail continues to juggle her responsibilities as Chancellor with her own internal investigations. Maggie uncovers more details of her friends' pasts and herself. As their enemies begin to reveal themselves, their lives start to intertwine with each other closer than ever before. Other than a couple of bugs at the beginning in 2.0, it was a smooth ride from there. Looking forward to Year 3.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Space Pilgrim Academy Year 2 is a rather good game, with a simple gameplay and an interesting story. This is a sci-fi adventure game. You, once again control Gail and Maggie in a total of 3 Acts, which take around 4 to 7 hours of game time (getting all achievements require you to repeat certain moments in the game). This time, the story focus on discovering more about Fractus and Kathy as Gail travel around to learn more on the subject. Meanwhile with Maggie you start to have weird nightmares…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This story really keeps me wanting more and more!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is the second of the Space Pilgrim Academy games, which form a sequel series to the earlier Space Pilgrim series. If you haven't played the original series I would strongly recommend playing it first. Like its predecessors the game is built using an engine intended for JRPGs, but the actual gameplay is closer to that of the classic '90s point-and-click adventures. Covering Maggie's second year at the academy she has to deal with such diverse problems as classes, schedules, friends,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well crafted game with excellent story as usual.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fun game hope the next episode wont take to long ;)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →have loved this series since the beginning! can't wait for the next game!!!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another great episode of Gail and Maggie's space adventures.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was an unusually tricky instalment in the series. Like the rest of the Space Pilgrim games, this is a light sci-fi yarn with fun characters and snappy dialog. The story starts going deeper this time around, but i found some of the puzzles a little frustrating. Twice i got completely stuck, and even when i found what to do it felt like the only way to figure it out was to click on everyone and everything. I am no stranger to adventure games, but modern ones (including the rest of this…
