“The monster designs were great, and the expanded world and story was very fun to explore.”
“The plot was fun and simple, glad it wasn't over-complicated.”
“Cool game, it uses a similar system to the first one, but expands upon it in all ways; the small story became bigger, the battle system was expanded, the puzzles are more and better, and there are also many novelties, such as side quests, bosses, and secrets.”
“The story is simple with short dialogue that gets to the point, but it lacks depth and complexity.”
“The narrative feels underdeveloped and fails to engage the player emotionally.”
“While the game has interesting mechanics, the story is forgettable and doesn't leave a lasting impression.”

The gameplay features straightforward mechanics and a simple story, complemented by engaging level design that keeps players interested. While the game is easier than some might prefer, this choice appears to be a deliberate design decision to maintain balance over a longer playtime, with completion taking around 10+ hours for all achievements.

“A bit easier than I would have preferred, but I understand why, considering the way the gameplay adapts to a longer game; it seems like it would be hard to balance, so it's better to err on the side of a bit easy than too hard.”
