What players say

Players are split on this sequel. Some appreciate the more straightforward story and roamable 3D environments, but many find the transition from pre-rendered backgrounds a mistake, introducing janky controls, tiny pixel-hunt triggers, and bugs like falling through the map or broken saves. Puzzles are harder and often illogical, making a walkthrough nearly essential.
