Gamertell Review: Kudos 2 for PC and Mac

One of Positech Games’ most popular series is Kudos, a life simulation that is primarily text-based and allows players to create and maintain a virtual life. The sequel, Kudos 2, refines the experience. While it still is a challenge, it does make certain aspects of the game easier, features art from Jamie McKelvie (Save Point, Phonogram, X-Men: Divided We Stand and Long Hot Summer) and adds new elements absent from the original Kudos experience.

You start Kudos 2 as a 20 year old waiter or waitress. You have very little money, no skills, a handful of friends and no possessions.

If that sounds depressing, don’t worry. Your virtual character has his or her whole life ahead of her. You can take classes to build skills, read books to expand horizons, exercise, do things with friends and eventually become an incredibly successful member of society…
