Something about this one just feels more alive than the other DP games. The music is more lively and the puzzles are fun (whereas in others from this series, there is usually 1-2 tedious puzzles.)
I recommend this game!
Magic Academy 2
A crucial book of magic has gone missing and must be found before it can be used to summon a powerful primeval demon!

Glitches (e.g. puzzle pieces get stuck behind completed section, freezes sometimes when you try to skip scenes), has bad mapping (you often miss correct items like the rune letters because the clickable area is so miniscule), poor objectives (what you are supposed to do next is often completely unintelligible, hints don't always work or only pointed out things that weren't applicable yet), and bad pacing (e.g. for some reason you have to stare at this unrolling scroll for 15 seconds after every 10 minutes of gameplay just to signify that you moved onto the next chapter, finished puzzles linger on screen for a long time after completion). I really enjoyed the first Magic Academy. This sequel took away all the good points of the first game and replaced it with poor voice acting, a ridiculous amount of trouble in gameplay, and just general confusion.
I don't recommend this game.

I like this series of games but this one felt ridiculous to me. I couldn't stop groaning at scene after scene of Native American stereotypes. The voice acting for the characters was pretty bad. And the Spirit Wolf is neat and all until he starts talking. Then he's incredibly annoying.
I love these games but honestly the only thing that differs between them is the story. The gameplay and graphics are standard hidden-object game, so move on.
I don't recommend this game.
