What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
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.
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.
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)
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.
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.
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.
