The best part that makes LBA2 so much more playable is the straight forward story and the in game map with markers telling you where to go, and if you don’t know where to go some one in town can tell you where to go next. The world is fully 3D with hardly any loading screens so exploring is a lot more interesting.

Most importantly LBA2 had a windows version, pop the disc in, click install and you’re done, nice and easy. LBA2 however had very few of the issues that LBA1 had.

LBA1 was a compelling game and for 1994 was a pretty big deal, but isn’t a game I could recommend these days. This is also made worse by the fact that your character is a wanted criminal on some islands, or some other islands are in the state of civil war so it’s not that easy to get around. You talk to every NPC, you explore every corner, you use every item on every interesting block and it gets extremely grindy.

But the worst part of LBA1 was the classic PC gaming trope of been way too cryptic and vague on what to do next.

The game is an absolute pain to install also, and this isn’t just an LBA problem, but for all PC games of the era as it suffers as an MS-DOS only version, and getting that version to work flawlessly requires some tech skills (although there a fan made patch made to address this later for Windows machines). NPC models were 3D but they just seemed clunkier and a lot more blocky that other 3D models on other games of the time. It used a 2.5D open world (as in the the world was a 2D backdrop with added depth to look 3D) which is a concept that LBA2 would also use for its interior environments, but is used for everywhere in this game, which loses a sense of wonder to the exploration. I feel we can’t talk about LBA2 without talking about it’s predecessor, and while LBA1 (released 1994) mostly followed the same concept I feel it’s aged much worse and suffers from archaic PC game design from the era. This was such a drastic jump from games I’d seen at the time and I was shocked that this game could even exist.Īs angry as Twinsen looks, he was pretty tame.

For the time I thought this game was amazing, a fully 3D open world, NPCs you could talk to with full voice acting (and also beat up), shops to buy items from, mini side quests for extra items and a long in depth story with full motion cutscenes. Little Big Adventure 2 was released in 1997 was one of my first big adventure games. See, the PC gaming world lived in it’s little bubble for some time and while there some ventures out there (Starcraft 64, Quake, GTA 2) you’d rarely see a PC game ported to console, creating a space in gaming history that has some absolute gems you won’t find anywhere else – one game in particular being Little Big Adventure 2. While the Playstation and N64 duked it out with it’s own exclusives, it was the world of PC games that got some of its most interesting titles. But back in the 90’s the gaming exclusives were a lot more divided, each console had a huge array of exclusive titles but it was never fully advertised this way. You do get the exclusives titles such as HALO, Bloodborne, Forza and Uncharted and they’re usually marketed as a console exclusive, making you purchase whatever console you feels suit your gaming needs. These days it’s expected that a big release will get a Playstation & Xbox release, with usually a PC and Switch port alongside it. Are older games as bad as we remember? Or are some older games seriously over-hyped instead? Let’s dive into a PC classic, with Little Big Adventure 2 (LBA2).

However, just like gaming hardware… This can go from the new standard to beat, to a harsh lesson of how not to make a game a few years later. Every few years a new game or series arrives on the market and is seen as one of the most revolutionary releases of all time.
