The story in the game is generally well-received, with many players appreciating its expansion from the first installment and the engaging side missions that enhance the overall experience. While some users feel the narrative and themes are not as strong as in the original, the use of cassettes to convey lore and the cooperative gameplay elements are highlighted as enjoyable features. Overall, the game offers a fun and interesting storyline, though some players desire more straightforward platforming and mission variety.
“A sequel that took everything great about the first game and made it even better, from the music, the gameplay, and the surprisingly good story.”
“I love the storyline and tapes in the game as well as the levels; they are great and I hope this game continues.”
“The devs tell the story through cassettes scattered all over the levels, which is both entertaining and shows you the story without just straight up telling you what happened.”
“Not enjoying the themes/story and challenges in this one as much as the first one; the first game was a bit simpler and, in my opinion, a lot funnier.”
“I can't find the story of Theodore when I play Artois Manor.”
“There wasn’t enough simple platforming in the story campaign for me; the 'floor is bedbugs' challenge to run to the timer in a couple of seconds - I wasn’t impressed.”

The gameplay builds on its predecessor by enhancing the chaotic action and strategic elements while maintaining the humor and charm that fans love. Players can expect an expanded arsenal for spider elimination, innovative mechanics, and engaging quests that add variety to the experience. The combination of fun gameplay, impressive sound design, and a unique art style makes it a standout title for action game enthusiasts.
“It builds on its predecessor's success, enhancing gameplay while retaining the humor and charm that made the original a hit.”
“The combination of chaotic action, strategic gameplay, and offbeat humor makes it a must-play for fans of action games.”
“From the stunning cartoon-style look and great sound design to its innovative gameplay mechanics and thoughtful features like the arachnophobia mode, this game is a must-play for anyone who enjoyed the first installment.”
“Also, I get that Power Wash Simulator is a popular game, but this game really didn't need one of the most irritating and out-of-place versions of that mechanic that I've ever encountered.”
“This was a problem with the first part, which also lasted 2 hours of pure gameplay, and after 1 it got boring. While the varied arsenal and ways of spreading fire, as well as the spiders that mimicked various objects, made the game stand out, in the sequel there is no sense of diversity of species. Although there are quite a lot of them, the only interesting gameplay elements are the jumpers, which can climb onto your camera and crawl over the player until your partner (or you yourself) throws them off. This is also the only arachnophobic moment in a game about spiders.”
“Also, the gameplay of the game had to shift a little more into the quest elements. In addition to burning out spiders and collecting equipment, you can also perform additional tasks, of which there are 10-20 on each map. More often, it’s also to find something, but sometimes you need to turn into a spider and practice platforming, brew a potion, or run away from the SCP statue during challenges.”
