    • “Lots of well-utilized mechanics, with a lot of depth within its simple premise.”
    • “100+ mind-boggling levels based on simple, yet interesting mechanics.”
    • “Even just the core mechanics take some getting used to — the simplest manipulation of objects requires careful coordination between the characters — and then the game piles on complications until the system is rich and elaborate.”
    • “Its core mechanics may be simpler and perhaps less interesting compared to these games (with 'Baba Is You' being on a level on its own due to its ingenious concept; I may be biased because it's my all-time favorite puzzle game!), the game manages to be as challenging, if not more, despite its relatively simple mechanics.”
    • “As far as gameplay goes, 'Fish Fillets 2' is full of many great, very challenging puzzles.”
  • humor
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is generally well-received, featuring funny dialogue and a lively story that includes animated sequences. While some players feel the humor can be overly ambitious or convoluted, many appreciate the effort and find it capable of eliciting genuine laughs. Overall, the game's comedic elements contribute positively to the experience, despite some mixed opinions on its execution.

    • “Too much care and good humor went into this game to resist it.”
    • “In addition, everything is underlined by a great story with funny messages.”

  • graphics
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally considered dated and sub-par compared to modern titles, with some users noting that the 3D videos appear blurry and lack polish. However, the in-game graphics are described as surprisingly good-looking and well-integrated with the narrative, complemented by extensive custom artwork and contextual dialogue. Overall, while the visuals may not impress, they do not detract significantly from the quality of the challenging puzzles.

    • “Seriously: every single puzzle fits into a narrative and has extensive custom artwork and contextual dialogue!”
    • “Nice game with nice graphics and difficult puzzles.”
    • “The in-game 3D graphics are surprisingly good-looking and not too distracting.”
    • “The game does feel a bit dated, especially graphics-wise, and the music is forgettable, but in terms of quality of puzzles, I would rank this game up there with titles such as Baba Is You, Stephen's Sausage Roll, and Snakebird.”
    • “If they were to make a Fish Fillets 3 with puzzles of equal quality while adding better, modern graphics and more polished presentation, characters, and features, I'm sure it would get the attention it deserves among puzzle fans, as long as it gets marketed properly.”
    • “The graphics are sub-par compared to other modern puzzle titles, with cinematics in particular looking very blurry and dated.”
  • story
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is described as funny and somewhat convoluted, featuring a corny narrative inspired by the X-Files, complemented by engaging voice acting and humorous animated sequences. Players appreciate the improvements over its predecessor, including a more sophisticated storyline and the addition of a level editor that allows for user-generated content, enhancing replayability without hindering story progression.

    • “You also get an interesting, if a bit corny story loosely based on the TV show X-Files, with nice humor and decent voice acting.”
    • “In addition, everything is underlined by a great story with funny messages.”
    • “Funny story told by animated sequences.”
    • “The story feels disjointed and lacks a coherent flow, making it hard to stay engaged.”
    • “Character development is minimal, leaving players feeling disconnected from the narrative.”
    • “The plot twists are predictable and fail to deliver any real surprises or emotional impact.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players appreciate the enhanced replayability due to the ability to control multiple characters throughout the game, with some levels allowing up to four characters. The addition of more playable characters, expanded environments, and a more complex story compared to its predecessor significantly enriches the gameplay experience.

    • “You also control at least two characters per level, not restricted to the two fish you start off with, as you encounter more playable characters as you progress, and in some levels, you can control up to four characters!”
    • “A lot of improvements since the great prequel Fish Fillets 1 too - more playable characters, more rooms, more sophisticated story, more everything.”
    • “+ more playable characters than just two later in the game.”
    • “The game lacks significant changes in gameplay, making it feel repetitive after the first playthrough.”
    • “While there are more playable characters introduced, the core mechanics remain the same, which diminishes replay value.”
    • “After completing the game once, there isn't much incentive to play again since the experience doesn't change significantly.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally considered forgettable and below average, described as tropical adult contemporary that adds little value to the overall experience. While it features references to "The X-Files," which some players appreciate, the soundtrack does not significantly enhance the gameplay.

    • “The music is also somewhat below average tropical adult contemporary that adds little value to the game.”
    • “The game does feel a bit dated, especially graphics-wise, and the music is forgettable.”
