Eye of the Beholder 2: The Legend of Darkmoon

Eye of the Beholder II: The Legend of Darkmoon, also released in 1991, takes everything that worked in the original and expands it thoughtfully. The dungeon design is more varied, puzzles are more intricate, and the overall sense of adventure is stronger. There’s a noticeable improvement in narrative ambition, with a story that feels more personal and engaging. Combat remains tense, but encounters are more creatively structured, keeping veterans on their toes. The game encourages experimentation, often rewarding clever thinking over brute force. Visually, it refines the original’s style without losing its oppressive charm. The Legend of Darkmoon feels like a confident sequel—one that understands its roots while daring to grow beyond them.
