  • gameplay
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The gameplay is more than 5 hours long, and I don't want to do it all again.”

  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players criticize Game 2 for its grinding nature, highlighting that many puzzles are either excessively difficult or frustratingly tedious, with easier puzzles often requiring unnecessary moves or being repeated multiple times. This lack of variety and increased tedium detracts from the overall experience.

    • “Any puzzles that were 'easier' were tedious, meaning they a) had obvious solutions but took a lot of moves or b) were repeated in several rounds.”
  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
