    The gameplay in "Grand Emprise 2: Portals Apart" is characterized by engaging mechanics focused on crafting, resource management, and exploration, though it lacks a narrative depth, relying instead on a series of objectives. Players enjoy the varied and rhythmic gameplay, enhanced by traversal upgrades and imaginative world-building, but some find the crafting system limited and the user interface cumbersome.

    • “A lot of the mechanics from the first game were present, but as far as the depth and progression, it simply was not there.”
  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is largely criticized for its absence, with players noting that it consists mainly of a series of objectives rather than a cohesive narrative.

    • “If you actually pay attention, the plot is there and the different dimensions make sense.”
    • “There was no narrative or story, just a series of objectives to complete, usually by gathering newly unlocked items or going to a new area. I liked the mechanics of the game, but the story element is missing.”
    • “The landscapes were pretty cool, but unlike the first game, each does not have its own meaning and purpose to the story.”
    • “There is no story, no narration, no logic, no nothing.”
  • graphics
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

These scenes were not designed for gameplay, resulting in a subpar experience.

    • “The developer just uses asset demo scenes as his 'levels', leading to huge performance issues due to too many raw unoptimized meshes in scenes, along with numerous problems like holes and misplaced assets. These demo scenes were meant for showcasing asset content, not for creating game-ready complete levels.”
