Overall, while the game offers a fun experience with decent puzzles and voice acting, it struggles with coherence and satisfying conclusions, leaving some players feeling underwhelmed.
- “I quite liked the story overall, particularly the continuity from the first game and a fun build to a la resistance plot that has (admittedly silly) stakes and more cohesion than you'd expect from a Larry game.”

Overall, the experience is marred by a lack of engaging challenges, making it feel like a drag, especially in the latter parts of the game.
- “First half was great, then it becomes a drag and I had to use a walkthrough, then it became very tedious and I just watched the end on YouTube.”
- “There's the added drawback that some of the puzzles scattered throughout the game are really unfun, tedious, time-wasting, and unfair.”
- “The maze at the end was absolutely tedious and unnecessary, especially since you have to do it at least 3 times.”

emotional

The game offers some emotional depth, particularly through its poignant ending that evokes sympathy for the AI character, Pi. However, the use of retro graphics detracts from the emotional impact, making key moments feel shallow and undermining the overall tone. While it avoids the cliché of a single protagonist, the execution leaves mixed feelings about its emotional resonance.
- “It gives the game a little emotional depth and avoids the classic 'Larry has to be single' problem if there's a sequel.”
- “Also the ending was... kinda more like what you would expect from a final game of a series... and it made me feel sad for Pi, the artificial intelligence that helped you through the previous game as well as this one.”
- “The fact that we can't see the emotional expressions of the 'final boss' because it's all drawn in a poor reinterpretation of the low-res era of adventure games makes the whole thing feel shallow and cheap.”
