Back to the Future: Ep 2 - Get Tannen! Reviews

Since Steam splits every episode of Back to the Future into a separate store page, unlike newer Telltale games, I'm just putting my review for the entire game here. A phenomenal adventure game that not only features great puzzles, but is driven by a funny, heatwarming story and incredible acting. It's the best sequel that Back to the Future has ever managed to produce, and made me genuinely care about the original movie even more.

Great series for BTTF! Made me go back and rewatch the movies. The voice acting is great, and the games are fun and a tad challenging at times. Perfect combo. <3

Very cool story, would honestly make a better movie than a game. The controls are pretty crap and there isn't much "gameplay" to speak of. I think the voice acting and story more than make up for it as Telltale games tend to be more story focused. If you like Back to the Future and wish maybe there was one more movie, you will like these.

A bit slow in that mid 2000's point and click adventure way but it's fun and feels like it could have been back to the future 4 or a mini series.

(*** of 5) As tell tale games go, this one also has an interesting stories with some unexpected turn. Still, it couldn't quite hook me. The game felt more like a point and click game. If you like that, go ahead and play it, if you don't, let it be. I really loved "life is strange" and compared to that, "Back to the future" feels awkward. Maybe it's just the outdated graphics, but i doubt it. The story just couldn't really make me dive into it... and the end was rather strange...

A very nice extension to the established storyline. Great fun with an good sense of humor and timing without too many nods.

This follow up to the first episode is less-than-ambitious. Most of the game takes place in the same location (and time) of episode one. Mostly featuring the same characters as well. It's kind-of boring, honestly. However, it's needed to set up the events of the much better episode three. That said, the puzzles are decent. Complicated at times, but not too difficult. (Plus, there's always the in-game hint system if you get stuck.)

[b]I only recommend this game on sale to fans of the BTTF movies[/b]. It is a a bare bones point & click linear adventure game with many mildly infuriating components, but the story is a faithful 5 episode sequel to the BTTF movies. You play as Marty McFly in 1985 which starts with an homage to the first movie, but takes place after the 3 movies. I did enjoy this second episode and it fit in the greater story.

[u]Preface:[/u] Each review is for an individual episode. But a rough ranking is here: Episode 1 - 8/10 Episode 2 - 9/10 [Current Review] Episode 3 - 10/10 Episode 4 - 6/10 Episode 5 - 10/10 The second [i]Back to the Future[/i] episode is by far the shortest of the bunch, but it still served up some enjoyable story beats. You face the repercussions from the first episode, try to right all of the wrongs, and keep messing with history even more. I think I simply enjoyed that it doubles down on you actively doing things whereas the first episode was a lot of watching and listening. Now you actually have to plan things out and see them through.
