The game's story has received widespread praise for its engaging and well-developed narrative, with many players highlighting the intriguing plot and character interactions. While some users noted that the missions feel shorter and easier compared to the previous installment, the overall storytelling and art style are considered exceptional, leaving players eager for more content and future updates. However, a few critiques mention that certain missions lack depth and that the frequent ads can disrupt the immersive experience.
“The story is great and the missions keep getting better and better.”
“I love this game, the story is absolutely brilliant and the art is fascinating.”
“The art/animation is beautiful, the storylines are well-developed, and the path you're supposed to take is pretty logical - I didn't need the hints more than a couple of times.”
“There is an alright story which I'm not super interested in, but it's there.”
“Nothing in the story is meaningful to the main character; only to the organization. The main character is barely involved, has no threat, no identity, and almost no information.”
“However, compared to the first game, I was quite underwhelmed as the missions here seem less fleshed out and more reckless.”

The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on ads, which players find to be excessively frequent and intrusive, often interrupting gameplay. While some users appreciate the option to earn in-game rewards by watching ads, many express frustration over unskippable and long ads that disrupt the gaming experience. Overall, the consensus is that while ads are expected in free games, their overwhelming presence detracts significantly from enjoyment.
“I'd rather pay for the game and get unlimited hints and no ads.”
“But as for others' opinion, unskippable ads is what this game is downing for, like you need to wait for freakin 15 seconds (and some were 10) in-game to continue the puzzle.”
“I'm not gonna rate this lower because of the ads because I understand the devs need to make money, but the amount of ads are annoying.”
“I would like to give this 5 stars but honestly... I'd rather this be a game people gotta pay for to even get it... because the ads ruin the experience.”

“The gameplay and puzzles have always been great, and that's what I like about this game.”

“This game's puzzles are mostly illogical (like the mechanical, game-driven reaction of NPCs and making a fake earthquake with a car jack?).”
