Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The incredible visual world of the first game is back in full force, and the naval theme gave the graphics artists some extra legroom, and the two sea-specific levels (Mistral Reefs and Spring Tide Bay) have some really breathtaking sights, even by GSTD standards.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Players who appreciate precision gameplay and creative mechanics will immediately recognize the care that has gone into every aspect of the expansion.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The soundtrack, composed through the collaboration of Chris Hülsbeck and Machinae Supremacy, dynamically changes alongside Giana's transformations, blending melodic orchestral compositions with energetic rock and metal influences.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Developed by Black Forest Games and published by Black Forest Games together with HandyGames, this adventure offers an entirely new campaign that feels substantial rather than a simple add-on.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
The controls are solid for this game, I didn't mess up once because of bad controls or anything like that, Giana moved where I wanted her to, worth noting that I used an Xbox 360 controller to play through the game, can't say how the keyboard controls are as I didn't try them.
