Some might argue that this is a welcome increase in difficulty, but I think the addition of the hard difficulty mode does this more than well enough.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
GM 2’s narrative thread leaves plenty of room for debating and I consider it fitting given the gameplay and circumstances.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combined with appropriate chilling music and sound effects, the whole gives a trance-like experience, which effectively entertains the player for about 10-20 minutes of gameplay per puzzle country / exhibit.This game is astoundingly beautiful.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
DLC is also fun, and each adds a nice collection of puzzles that continue the art style.
Monetization
Players who bring up Monetization mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Like the first title, the number of puzzles available is very generous for the money, with a few optional DLC expanding the pool even further.
