While the game mechanic and realisation are still very enjoyable, the game was way easier and shorter than the first one. I spent 15h on the first, while I got the 100% of this one in only 3.5h.
Everything is straight forward, not much thinking needed, every animal is easy to spot, and overall less surprising than TOEM 1 with less locations to visit.

I liked it, but was expecting a longer adventure, or more diversity in the situations and places visited, especially while knowing that the core gameplay was already implemented in the first game.

As someone who is a big fan of the original game, especially considering it is one of my favourite games of all time. I have to unfortunately give this a not recommend.

My main issue with this game is the difficulty. I feel everything is spelled out for you and it's way easier that the first. I'm not expecting the hardest puzzles in the world, but I was expecting more difficulty here. I remember having to think in TOEM 1 when solving puzzles and having that aha moment when I figured something out. I'm not getting the same thing here. Everything else about the game, the art, the music and the overall charm is still there,

However, I'm going to have to refund as I cannot get over the fact about how easy this game is. I feel bad as I would like to support the devs here, however I cannot recommend this game at full price.

To get this out of the way, this is a good game. It's still just as charming and fun as the first game. However, it really does not feel like a fully fleshed out sequel to the first game, rather just an expansion.

The Game is much shorter than the first game, I finished it just under four hours. The original took me twice as long to finish. The first Toem has 6 areas (and 1 DLC area). This game has 5. If you take away the starter areas and the ending areas, the main playable areas are 4 to 3. These new levels feel much smaller and more streamlined.

The gameplay is also considerably easier. In the first game I had to use a guide to solve some of the puzzles. In Toem 2 every thing is just laid out in really obvious spots and places.
Most of the quests are just, "pick up some items off the ground", or press the A button on something, or "hang this thing wherever you feel like it there's no solution", or "go take a picture of this specific thing".
The character in the comedy club is a great example. He has a joke about bicycles, but he can't remember what they look like. He pretty much just tells you to take a picture of one of the many bikes around the level. Many solutions are like this, where you are simply told to do something and not think about it too much.

The new "mechanics'" of this game are the tools and the Jump button, but to be fair they did not really do much with the mechanics. Tools are simple puzzles and only usable in the level they are found in. Jumping just adds some verticality to the worlds, but most of the jumping "puzzles" are really simple.

I am torn because I really want to support this series and really loved the first game, but I cannot recommend this game at full price. Wait for a sale. It's just too short, too easy, and too shallow.
