The game mostly progresses in a 'room by room' manner without any free wandering.

Inventory? Lists of actions? Branching dialogue choices? Nope. The visuals and soundtrack are really the main draw, since Samorost 2 isn't exactly heavy fare as far as adventure games go. You'll guide the little hooded hero through a strange world which combines whimsical characters and grungy environments into something that I can only describe as Jim Henson's Fallout 3. What Samorost 2 lacks in riveting storytelling, it makes up for with a combination of surreal visuals and a nice electronic/jazz/new age/klezmer/I-am-bad-at-identifying-musical-genres soundtrack.

That's not to say that the minimalist approach in Samorost 2 is a bad thing heck, it might even be a blessing, considering that the writing in the last Eastern European game I played was centered around the use of domestic abuse as comic relief. This was a bit of a downer at first, since I personally tend to think of the adventure genre as the one type of game in which the dialogue is something I look forward to rather than something which makes me want to take an electric drill to my eardrums.

I've been calling him 'Samorost,' but the game doesn't ever actually state this: there is no text or dialogue besides the occasional 'HNNNNNNGGGRRRKKK' from the wildlife or the weird semi-comprehensible mutterings from the hero when you try to click on something the game doesn't want you to click on yet. The story of Samorost 2 is a simple one, starring a little fellow named.I just realized I have no idea what his name is.
