The value story

The lowest price on record is $2.99, set in June 2024. It has been discounted 83 times in the 12 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 92 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Landlord of the Woods ($0.99, scores 95) beats it on value, while it beats STASIS ($7.99, scores 57).

80 from critics against 91 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.

None of the 256 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to June 2026.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, so it runs on the handheld without fiddling.

What players say

The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 is a fantasy adventure game developed by KING Art Games and published by THQ Nordic. As the sequel to a beloved point-and-click series, it embraces the traditions of classic adventure gaming while presenting a larger world, improved production values, and an even stronger sense of humor. Set in the magical realm of Aventásia, the game blends epic fantasy storytelling with clever satire...

Я скорее скажу "Да" этой игре. Она не без минусов, но достаточно крепкая. Затягивающий сюжет, неплохой юмор, приятные персонажи, все это присутствуют. Но есть ряд вещей, которые не дают мне назвать игру безусловно хорошей. Коротко о этих минусах: - Постоянные глюки с управлением. В некоторых местах анимации залипают и просто невозможно продолжить игру. Приходится перезагружаться. - Местами очень неровные решения...

A wonderful point-and-click adventure. Maybe even the best kind: with sophisticated nerd humor and intriguing story-line. Beware: there is a cliffhanger in the end and still no third part of the game released. But don't let it stop you - the game is still worth it. Hope that someday there will be a next chapter of this great adventure!
