#BROKEN AGE SNAKE HOW TO#

However, in Act 2, after Shay and Vella switch places and environments, this principle gets thrown out the window. Everything is based on character knowledge.

#BROKEN AGE SNAKE HOW TO#

In Act 1, you don’t need to switch to the other character to figure out how to get past the obstacle that your currently selected character is facing.

Be warned, there will be spoilers!ġ – Puzzles start getting based on player knowledge, not character knowledge. But I do want to discuss what I think are glaring design issues with the game, Act 2 specifically, and why they’re such a big problem. So this post I’m not going to talk about my thoughts on how the character arcs set up in Act 1 weren’t fulfilled, or how Act 2 jumps the shark with a bunch of strange twists or motivations. I’m so disappointed by Act 2 that I think I’ve spent 3 or 4 days constantly complaining to everyone I know about it. And… let’s just say, Act 2 is not as good as Act 1, both narrative-wise and gameplay-wise. It prompted me to binge the full game from start to finish. That is, until I got recently the final backer reward – the collector’s box for Broken Age. Though, because my save files were somehow lost, when Act 2 was released I didn’t play it. And when Act 1 got released, I was absolutely blown away. Back in the day, I gave some money to its Kickstarter campaign, at the time known just as Double Fine Adventure. I think Broken Age has got to be the game I’m most confused what to think about.
