Ratings and reviews

For those of you having played the first game and wondering if they should buy the second: After playing through the first one and it's excellent DLC I was excited about jumping into this one, since I assumed the high price tag was because it was more, harder puzzles. The opposite is true, unfortunately. A short story, way easier than the monument 1 extra chapters. Pretty much only nicer graphics and a few cute new mechanics, otherwise a downgrade for a high price tag.

Everything is great, except the puzzles. They are waay too easy. Which is really a shame because the game has innovative mechanics which allow for interesting puzzles. The artwork is also great and the music is enticing. But because it is so easy, it sadly just feels like a picturebook where you flip the pages. And that is not a very compelling experience.

This was a beautiful and sweet experience, but definitely not as challenging as the first. Where the first game remains firmly abstract, with a mysterious and sometimes slightly dark atmosphere; this sequel goes stronger on the narrative, which is cute if familiar and predictable, and in less alien settings with real-world references in the level architecture. As a result, it feels rather less monumental. But still beautiful and fun while it lasted.
