What players say

Players are split on Return to Mysterious Island 2: some enjoy it as a relaxing puzzle adventure, but many criticize the story for an out-of-place alien twist and weaker puzzle design that often boils down to fetch quests. Several report performance issues, like needing a computer restart to fix lag, and find playing as the monkey Jep irritating.
