One of the most BRILLIANT games ever!

I highly recommend this app. And I admire the appmakers for making such a game that is so deep in history, architecture, puzzles, and classic literature. I love games about the old days, from Renaissance to the Victorian Era. And I was completely immersed in Renaissance Italy, as I explored cathedrals, libraries, gardens, and tinkered with Leonardo Da Vinci’s own inventions. The graphics are so fantastic, and the background, furniture, and rooms, are so realistic and adorable. I thank you guys very much for entertaining me with this puzzle game, especially during the Coronavirus times 😊. I have always been obsessed with puzzle games and this one has satisfied my boredom pretty well. And I also love the story a lot. I even like the House of Da Vinci series more than the Room series. I would love it if any company could make such puzzle games involving mystery, ingenuity, and history even. Here is one request for such a puzzle game. I would like a puzzle game story that has a female for a main character. There probably already is such a game out there already. But I would like to see one set in some old days too. Maybe you could make it one day if you’re ever done with the House of Da Vinci series. Just an idea 😉 Anyway, I really, really, can’t wait for the next Da Vinci app. Keep up the good work 👍🏻. This app is definetely worth buying.

Extremely satisfying to play!!

I’m a huge fan of games such as Myst, The Room series, and the Rusty Lake series. House of Da Vinci II was extremely enjoyable, and far outpaces the first, in my opinion! The game play was very satisfying, with wonderful variety, a great combo of challenging to easy puzzles keeping the game moving, beautiful graphics, and a delicious aesthetic. My only complaint is the sometimes irritating amounts of zoom-in and zoom-out required to navigate or to make an object work, though I eventually grew accustomed to it. The characters and storyline were a little odd (the first half is apparently a kind of prequel to House of Da Vinci I, and the second half is like the sequel. A tad confusing.) and the ending is certainly...well...the poem is a bit groan worthy and out of left field. But the puzzles were so satisfying that I truly didn’t care. I revel in the fact that it’s clearly set up for another sequel and can’t WAIT for a part 3! Bravo Blue Brain Games!!

Incredibly frustrating gesture requirements.

The camera does not stay stationary for you to be able to manipulate hardly anything. So something that I’ve been trying to manipulate for two minutes but does nothing ends up being the thing that I have to swipe *this* way instead of *that* way, or in order to do something it needs to be zoomed in *one* more time. A little bit of that is fine, because you don’t want to just allow the player to click around aimlessly trying to find things by chance. But when it’s right off the bat and consistent throughout it’s incredibly annoying and I end up doing that anyway because there’s nowhere else to go until I figure out the ONE way it can be done. But that’s pretty much like the last game, as well. Having to open doors fully instead of automatically. Un/screwing something manually when you’re trying to not trigger the whole thing to spin, it’s just ridiculous. There should be some kind of HOLD setting at LEAST on the items, or a purposeful turn. This nonsense has got to stop.

Enjoyable until last chapter

Decent game for those who love puzzlers. Entertaining story, good voice acting, lovely artwork, nice music. But by the last chapter the puzzles were becoming tedious. Trial-and-error puzzles get old really fast and there were too many of them. I was irritated to find there was more than one puzzle with yellow symbols on a gate/door. Perhaps there’s a more logical approach to solving it other than trial-and-error. While I did know what I had to do to solve it, I used the hint system to finish the second one. I was just too bored with it. Also, sometimes the inventory and hint icons or the “special tool” would block clues in the environment. What knocked off two stars though was the painful ending. A five minute (or more) narrated poem...that’s the reward? And did it really have to rhyme?! Some of the rhymes were a real stretch, actually made me wince. I was really perplexed at this choice. Can’t remember if the first game did this. Keep plot explanations concise or give the gamer an option to skip it or read later. If you want to do something different, then do it well.

Good game!

Updated... after writing the below review, I went back into the game to take one more look and it had reverted back to the beginning of the maze game. I was able to finish the game. So I have updated it to five stars because this is an amazing game. This was an awesome game up to the point where a glitch stopped me dead in my tracks. Hopefully there will be a fix for this!? I am in chapter 5, at the library. took the hidden elevator up to the hidden room. When I put the book on the lectern on the desk after opening the lectern, I managed to shoot two marbles through the maze. When I went to shoot the third marble into the maze and moved the switch once, the marble disappeared and it didn’t pop back over to the spring for me to try again. Please please fix this so I can continue the game :-(. If it’s fixed, I’ll change this to five stars because that is what this game is worth without the glitch.

It’s a great game very fun

It’s a nice game my experience was great and how they did so will on were the first game left off very great story the puzzles are very fun to do near the end it was hard for me but it’s a great puzzle game with a great story I would recommend getting and very fun and addictive fun for kids like me very fun game and very very fun game I loved the story and the puzzles when I heard about a 2 game coming out i was so happy I just couldn’t wait for the 2 game to come out and I was very happy about the game coming out and I started playing the house of da Vinci when I was done with the room series the room is a great game to play to but I think the house of da Vinci and the room series are both great puzzles games I like theme both but I think blue Bain games and the developers of the room could come together to make one great puzzle game or series one of the greatest puzzle game or series ever made but great game guys

Amazing game

I’ll start off by saying I absolutely love this series and can’t wait for the next one. The realism and beauty has gotten even better than the first one and it looks incredible. I also personally think this is better than “The Room” series because I think the story is easier to follow and flows from and connects to the first game. The room just always seemed to be multiple stories with a central focus, ie the null. The only thing I will say, although there was the one Easter egg with the ghost in this one. I do miss the side goal of collecting the blueprints from the first game. It didn’t need to be exactly that again but I would have liked something like that in this one too. But, in the end, that’s a super minor thing and honestly just personally preference. Keep up the great work!

Mechanical and detailed puzzles

This game is a huge recommendation to those interested in moving puzzles. This puzzle game takes you through an adventure that challenges you every minute you spend. Most of the puzzles require you to move around between rooms, grabbing objects, adjusting pieces, seeing mechanical x rays. Other have smaller spaces, but don’t let this take you for a fool. These small spaces make up the lack of movement with dozens of challenging puzzles that hide in plain sight. This game does include hints, incase you get stuck at any puzzle. The hints do lead you in the right direction but never gives away locations or answers. The hints can sometimes confuse the player but only to cause the player to have mindful thinking. If you have the time, please write a review to encourage others to enjoy this game! My first run through was 6:44:57
