I played first part as a kid. It was very good point'n'click and also a great horror story for a kid like me. Second part is turning on slowly but then it spins like crazy. Its should be called action point and click. Tension aint releasing you until the very resolve. Or not resolve at all. THE END? Im instalin third part now i want to know WHAT HAPPEND NEXT! Good story, logic riddles (syndrom of connect u wiener with floor to make a flower grow aint appearing here;D) Perfect soft horror and detective storytelling. If you liked first part you will love this game!

Great followup to the first Black Mirror which had some serious flaws. It stays true to the original story (the only good part of first game IMO) and expands upon it in an interesting way. Good graphics, really nice enviroments, great adaptive music and overall good voice overs (way better than the first game).

I've played through quite alot of adventure games and I would rank this one in the top 5.

Now I'm off to see if the third game can top it!

Very atmospheric game with great visuals, logical puzzles and interesting story.

i love all 3 of this series,point and click is my favourite type of game,the atmosphere and storyline is superb.but oh dear.the voice acting is atrocious.especially the cockney tom in DM2 i couldnt bear to listen to it ,the rest of the voices were almost as bad,probably the worst ive ever listened to in any game,i still rate the game highly though brcause of the story ,

Worth the money, in my opinion.

Positives:
+ Interesting, deep storyline.
+ Many puzzles and lots of interaction, which provide a good challenge.
+ An amusing, entertaining protagonist. I really got into the character whilst playing this game.
+ Voice acting is not dull, and actually pretty good.
+ Character can die, making it different from most point and click games. Remember to save your progress. I think this is a positive personally.
+ You can tell a lot of work has gone into this game, and it shows in the quality.

Negatives:
- As point and click as it gets. If you don't like point and click games, you should probably step away from this. If you're not sure if you like them or not, then I still think this is a worthwhile and fun purchase.
- Although the tabs state that this is a 'horror', it isn't really. More of a mystery, without the typical detective characters.

I adore this series! The atmosphere and world building are wonderful, and the gameplay and plot do not disappoint.

After absolutely HATING the first game (mostly due to it's thoroughly unlikable and horribly acted protagonist) I pretty much ignored the second game in the series. I'm glad I finally gave it a chance when it came to Steam though, as it felt like a VAST improvement.

A MUCH more likable protagonist, a better paced story which still manages to be mostly ambiguous as to whether there's anything supernatural going on or not, more logical puzzles...there's a lot here which is much improved over the first game. It's a good length too but the variety of locations with a minimum of backtracking helps keep it interesting.

The voice acting is still mostly terrible, but that's pretty much to be expected of adventure games of it's time. It also has possibly one of the most ridiculously abrupt cliffhanger endings I've seen (from what I gather it runs directly into the third and final game) but overall...yeah. I liked it.

Four cases of hereditary brain-madness out of five.

Engaging storyline with some nice twist and turns. It is not so much of a "horror" game but has plenty of dark themes, creepy atmosphere and haunting music. The protagonist is a bit of an irritating brat at the start, but he slowly becomes more sympathetic to other people and thus more relatable at the end. Speaking of the ending, it is more of a "buy the third game to find out what happened!" type of cliffhanger, so be warned.

A fun and enjoyable Point and Click game with interesting locations and characters with a very dark storyline - a welcome change from the usual light hearted competition. A few scares here and there, but nothing which you will lose any sleep over.

Yes , as mentioned elsewhere, the main character comes across a bit like a spoilt brat at first but his dry sense of humour soon becomes quite amusing to listen to.

Solid graphics with a mix of prerendered scenes and hand painted artwork this game was a pleasure to admire.
It also features a "Show items" hotkey similar to Secret Files which you may love or hate - I find it a very useful feature as well as the option for hints should you find yourself stuck.

Overall a very worthwhile Point and Click adventure which I look forward to replaying in the coming years.

Not a bad adventure game, also quite long, but not difficult to finish.

Also, not a classic, but can be interesting to buy at a discounted price.

Not as good as the first game, but still very good and intersting.

Sometimes you wonder how does that huge ladder fit into my pocket? A lot of the movement and action in the game is heavy/cumbersome and it may annoy some of the players. Nevertheless, the story is still interesting and the soundtrack and special effects are awesome. I just wish the creators would have not covered the characters' voices with the background sounds. Sometimes you can't even hear what they are saying.

I really enjoyed this game. But I must say I do not like Darren. He comes off as a complete smart ♥♥♥ and I absolutely hate him. But Im having fun diving deeper into the story of the Gordons... now on to BM 3.

A captivating, incredibly detailed adventure game that builds upon the shreds of mythos presented in the first game and weaves a tale that will keep you hooked from beginning to end.

I must admit, I began this game with some reservations, having suffered through the tedium of the first game and it's bland presentation. But as soon as the game began, it dropped twists, turns and plot bombshells, and never relented until the very end, keeping me on the edge of my seat while presenting an expanded world with deep characters and a merciless deconstruction of the Black Mirror Mythos. All questions brought up by the first game are answered, and more questions are posed that kept me guessing until the very end.

The puzzle design in this game is top notch, with enjoyable puzzles that make sense, and the protagonist's exhaustive notes and little flairs of genius don't feel like they come out from the void, but rather from his own character. Each solution feels natural and like it is part of a believable progression of his character arc. I particularily enjoyed the non-item based puzzles, as they were often layered and presented with a code to break before the mechanical part of the puzzle even began. Richness of puzzles like this are incredibly rare, and should be valued. The puzzles, also, felt well rooted in the world, and even the most arbitrary sliding puzzle becomes a charming character trait for one of the many well-developed characters.

The game's aesthetic is a huge step up from the previous game, creating lively and deep locales to explore that straddle the line between photorealistic and oil painting. The lighting effects, in particular, are fantastic, lending an authentic spookiness to what could otherwise be a bland set. The effects are simple, often just a alpha channeled overlay or a translucent image, but the game does marvels with what it has.

My only criticism of the game's aesthetic would be the relatively stiff and mannequin like character models. Though an improvement from the last game, a lot of the models seem to look rather dull and lifeless, especially when viewed from close up. There isn't much in the way of expression, though the game goes out of it's way to find alternate means to portray the characters, such as novel camera angles, good cinematography, and dramatic body movements that don't rely on facial expressions. In all it wasn't distracting.

The game's writing is fantastic, though suffers from occasional translation weirdness, as the characters refer to things in esoteric or crude ways that a native speaker would not do (such as referring to thermite as "welding powder", which, while accurate, is not the way a native english speaker would refer to it). Mostly, the voice acting covers for the minor typographical errors in the text, but this is not really a problem.

I couldn't recommend this game enough, though in order to fully appreciate it, you'd need to play the prequel, Black Mirror. Black Mirror II relies on a lot of callbacks, and references to gameplay mechanics, and story elements that would be sorely missed if you didn't play Black Mirror. So if you can suffer through the original game, you will be rewarded immeasurably by this sequel. That alone is worth the price of entry.
