Retropolis 2 offers a longer and more engaging experience than its predecessor, featuring varied puzzles and a captivating story with humor.
The game maintains a unique personality with its stylish 3D painted visuals and excellent voice acting, making it a must-play for adventure and noir fans.
The VR point-and-click mechanics are intuitive and comfortable, allowing players to enjoy the narrative-driven gameplay without concerns about motion sickness.

Some players experienced technical issues, such as character models appearing in their view and game crashes during specific interactions.
