You'd think it'd be hard for lightning to strike twice with a game like Frog Detective. The concept by default kind of sounds like a one-trick pony, which makes Frog Detective 2 all the more impressive that it manages to retain both the whimsical, charming humour and the low-stakes, low-challenge gameplay of the original while still offering just enough to make it worth going back into the series for a second helping.
Once again we are the titular amphibian sleuth, this time sent to the sleepy town of Warlock Woods, who are being troubled by the other titular character, an invisible wizard. As before, the game is largely a scavenger hunt in which you'll interview everyone in the town and find the thing that solves their problem. The only new addition is a customisable notebook, which contains the musings of our froggy protagonist, as well as some of the game's funniest bits of writing.
It's yet more of that cute, harmless, gentle humour that has come to characterise the Frog Detective games, and that alone makes it worthwhile to play, as far as I'm concerned. It's short, sweet, goofy; everything you'd want from it, essentially.
