What players say

Players enjoy the story's connections to earlier games and the gorgeous art, but many report game-breaking bugs that force restarts. Opinions split on puzzles: some like them, others find them tedious. The game is short, around 4 hours, and the bonus chapter is considered too easy. Unlike the previous entry, it lacks Steam achievements.
