Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
163 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The atmosphere of the game is also very nice with a lovely music and stunning visuals that are aided by improved graphics however, I remember that while playing the 1st game there was a stronger feeling of isolation and loneliness since we had nothing to accompany us during the exploration of the world except for the occasional sea creatures that appeared.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
117 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
One of the major improvements to the story is the fact that the panels are now accompanied by a text once a set of 4 panels from the same row are collected which was missing from the 1st game.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

anyway, great game, very satisfying, absolutely gorgeous graphics, fun animals and birds to find. i'm glad i spent a little more than i usually do on a game to experience this one. i'm giving this game 5 stars out of 5, not something i do lightly. i strongly recommend it.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
In general, good sound design particularly for walking over and interacting with different surfaces.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The environments are more interesting to explore, being able to see beneath the surface of the water was great, the added puzzles that weren't too difficult and a variety of collectibles made me keep playing until I 100%ed it.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Waves and weather are done very well, particularly when playing with a controller where the vibrations reflect your speed and the water's surface.
