Wonderful evolution of interactive fiction! – Sorcery! 2 Review

As a long time lover of both exploring puzzle adventures (i.e. Myst, Riven, The Room, Drawn: the Painted Tower) and Interactive Fiction (IF) (Infocom's Zork and the Frotz' IF engine), I have struggled to find worthy contenders that have made the transition to the mobile app store (feel free to make suggestions!). Inkle has done an excellent job bringing Jackson's Fighting Fantasy books to the new millennium and the mobile app store. Sorcery 2 is even more immersive and 'classic IF' than it's predecessor, placing you in a more non-linear environment that requires you to wander around much more to solve the puzzles and reach your objectives. The many sub plots and side stories (which culminate in a climactic twistable ending) contribute to a greater immersive experience and preserves the feel and culture of IF but makes it fresh and vibrant once again. If you love any of the games I've mentioned above, then you won't be disappointed with Inkle's work with Steve Jackson's Sorcery 2 (or 1 or 3 for that matter)
