Ankh: Heart of Osiris |
|
|
|
GAMES:
Osiris is back, and this time he's in no mood for games. This time he will not fail. This time Osiris will show the world of humans what he's made of. But the Ankh alone is not enough - not as long as he hasn't found the most important part of his body: his heart. Life has not been kind to Assil. Only three weeks ago he managed to ward off his death curse. Since then a relationship (with Thara) has hit the rocks and the Ankh was stolen from him (by sinister Assassins). Assil sets out to get it all back - and to once again face Osiris. He is not the only victim, however - there is another: the pharaoh! One moment he sits on his throne, lazy sluggish and with a heck of a hangover, the next he is a slave in his own quarry - how could this have happened? And more importantly: how is he going to get out of this without getting killed? [Ankh-Game.com]

Ignoring the bugs for now, Ankh lacks any real innovation. It wears its heritage on its sleeve but I don't think there's necessarily anything wrong with that in this case.

Ferrago
With multiple characters to control (combining each other to solve puzzles), an incredibly witty and enjoyable cast of voice actors and around twelve hours of puzzling to enjoy, Heart of Osiris is well worth the asking price.

A fun, endearing little adventure, but Ankh's the one to try first. [June 2007, p.87]

For better or worse, Ankh: Heart of Osiris is so similar to its predecessor that it feels like an extension of the same game.

In the absence of anything better, though, it's a passable wander through Ancient Egypt, with a few moments that raise a chuckle. [May 2007, p.68]

Ankh benefits from genuinely likeable characters who don't have really, really annoying voices. It's amazing how rare that is. [June 2007, p.83]

The graphics are solid and unspectacular and that’s the recurring theme throughout. The saving grace here is the alive plot and above average voice acting.

Game Chronicles
Ankh: Heart of Osiris will last about ten to twelve hours with some very good puzzle solving that will not be too hard. The games humor and mix of simple and more challenging puzzles is a nice blend that is very entertaining.
