Давайте так: игра хорошая, мне вполне понравились многие головоломки, но приквел мне понравился больше. А в чём разница? Как будто только в масштабе и в сюжете.

Масштаб радует. Приквел очевидно был пробой пера, proof of concept, попыткой нащупать свой стиль. Теперь же автор расправил плечи и дал игрокам множество локаций и вариаций загадок. С другой стороны, большее количество контента пришлось сдабривать большей порцией сюжета. В приквеле это были лишь намёки, на которых можно было не фокусироваться, а сейчас уже невозможно не задавать вопросы о внеземных цивилизациях, логике работы технологий, базах людей в космосе и т.д. Увы, для меня рассказанная история выглядит лишь попыткой склеить различные головоломки в единое целое. В итоге я буду ждать сиквел, но только ради новой порции головоломок, а не чтобы узнать, что случилось с главным героем.

Quick edit to advise people to play the first game before this one if they're new to the titles... It doesn't particularly matter from a gameplay or story perspective but I would advise that this is the stronger entry so playing the first (very good) game before it would be a better experience than after. Also, the first game is more a 'puzzle box' title while this one leans more towards 'escape room'.

Another really enjoyable game and it follows on great from the first. There are a few frustrating puzzles and it is not always clear immediately what the aim is but overall they are enjoyable more than they are not! There is a lot of suspension of disbelief here (like the first game) in that this spaceship functions in an overly convoluted way but that is just part and parcel what with it being a puzzle game!

Visuals are gorgeous once again and all the transitions are done beautifully well. Puzzles are all visually clear and the environment, the ship itself is gorgeous! Feels like a real labour of love. The only visual error is that there is no space for the additional, missing escape pods on the external view of the ship's stern towards the end of the game but that is super nitpicky XD

There is a little dialog and it is most certainly the weakest part of the game, feeling very much like an afterthought in order to keep the player directed towards their next task. It is best described by the oft used in-game term, "meh". But this is of no real significance in playing what is otherwise a ahighly enjoyable game.

My only advice to future players would be to IGNORE the achievements on your first playthrough... I checked them before I started and that resulted in a few reloads and replays as I went which was a mistake. The whole game is only a few hours long and it is best played organically. If you are an achievement obsessive like myself, you should have no issues playing through the game a second time for anything you have missed and it can literally be done in the time it takesto watch a movie!
