Story

The quests are still very creative in this game and there are lots of new gimmicks (hope you don't mind solving ice puzzles or dealing with flipped controls in 30 seconds...) Some of the quests feel really epic.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
110 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you were a fan of the main gameplay style - which was Hero 30 - from the original, then that's literally all of what this game is.
Audio

The soundtrack is possibly one of the most well composed ones out there, boosting the game feel by a lot.

This time around there’s more space for character development and a bigger emphasis on story, all while maintaining the game’s humorous mood most of the times.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There's some interesting multiplayer options, and you can even download maps created by the community, providing a theoretical limitless source of maps to play.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It has not only a deep difficulty curve but also a sense of panic as you are getting close to the wire.
