Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
89 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
TL;DR: This is a great game that has lots of content, online co-op and levels, and is one of the best examples of its genre.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
72 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The new art style is much more realistic, and compared with the first game, I also ran into far fewer of the bugs that sometimes made the original frustrating.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
53 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Better multiplayer + multiplayer interactions over ES1 (ability to look at the same objects while its in a players hands, interact with the same objects at the same time)
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
47 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The mechanics are diverse as the puzzles cover many different logical functions like charting navigation on a map, or moving light beams in specific directions, each puzzle I did was different from the others, so there’s a ton of variety and uniqueness across the puzzles.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Most puzzles feel distinct, creative, and deliberately constructed rather than being endless variations of "find four numbers and enter a code." The overall difficulty isn't extremely high, but many puzzles require genuinely strong logical reasoning, which is exactly what I want from an escape-room game.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
So the difficulty level is where it's supposed to be- if puzzles are too easy for you, you can enjoy the ambiance, the music, the beautiful assets and the story.
