Fans of the first game will enjoy the similar puzzle experience with a great new look and new mechanics, but will be disappointed by the far easier difficulty and the loads of features, mechanics, modes, and secrets that were cut from the first game.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

On the plus side, the scalability of this game is great: it challenges modern hardware with gorgeous ray tracing settings while still being playable to many.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
65 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This one here has just the right difficulty curve for my taste.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack also has a smooth, understated feel to it that aids the game's mysterious charm, though the songs only play between levels for some reason.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Technically, the game is generally smooth on my 4090, but occasionally has some traversal stutter which wouldn't be so bad if it didn't also suddenly rotate the camera a completely random amount (if you were so much as touching the right stick when the stutter happened).
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.

Q.U.B.E. 2 is a visually stunning puzzle game, well optimized for modern platforms.
