Point and Click games were once the norm especially during the 80s and 90s with very few of those games being actually good. Skip a decade or two later and point and click games have mostly been phased out with the majority of new point and click games being quite underwhelming and honestly, not a lot of fun. Then comes Inner World, a point and click adventure game that took players by surprise with how good it was. From good artwork, humorous writing and interesting puzzles, it took a lot of what made point and click games fun and crafted a fun and enjoyable game. And now we have the sequel to The Inner World, The Inner World: The Last Wind Monk which further continues the story of the previous game and deals with the repercussions of our actions.
