Players praise the sequel's well-designed puzzles, which strike a satisfying balance of difficulty. While the core challenges may be slightly easier than the original, the introduction of "Gold" puzzles offers a greater test for veteran players.

By constantly introducing fresh ideas, the puzzles remain engaging and thought-provoking throughout the experience.

❤ Embracing Emergent Solutions

One of the standout strengths carried over from the first game is the ability to subvert the intended solutions. Reviewers delight in the freedom to sequence break, find unconventional paths, and discover unintended ways to overcome obstacles. This respect for player agency and intelligence leads to a profound sense of accomplishment when players outsmart the designers' expectations.

❤ Expanding the Toolset

The sequel significantly expands the player's arsenal of abilities, introducing mechanics like gravity manipulation and mind transference. Reviewers appreciate how each new tool adds a layer of complexity, challenging them to think in innovative ways. While some mechanics may be underutilized, the overall impression is one of a game that constantly evolves, preventing the puzzles from feeling repetitive.

❤ Exploring Stunning Environments

In addition to the core puzzle gameplay, reviewers praise the sequel's stunning environmental design and the freedom to freely explore its vast, interconnected landscapes. The variety of locales, from futuristic cityscapes to lush natural environments, is described as both visually stunning and thoughtfully crafted. Players enjoy breaking away from puzzle-solving to uncover hidden secrets and narratives, with the ability to sequence break further enhancing the sense of freeform exploration.
