Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
124 of 215 sampled reviews raised it
The cutscenes are where the game shows it’s still operating on a more limited budget than many others, being comic book style slides, but the narrative held my attention, the slides were nicely illustrated and of course fully voiced and there’s plenty of in game character interactions as well, so I didn’t mind this element overall.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
34 of 215 sampled reviews raised it
Graphically, it employs the same cartoony art style, though it’s not too stylised to totally lose the creepiness at points and overall it looks beautiful.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
28 of 215 sampled reviews raised it
While the first game does have that wide eyed sense of wonder that comes with "exploring" (very linearly) a picturesque island and its hidden secrets, this game has a very similar draw in the depth of its writing and puzzles.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
13 of 215 sampled reviews raised it
The voice acting is excellent, much like the first game, with good performances all round.
