The gameplay has seen significant improvements in level design and mechanics, particularly in stealth elements, making it less frustrating and more engaging. While some users note clunky movement and lingering bugs, overall, the gameplay retains its charm and has benefited from patches that address previous issues, especially in the transition from act 1 to act 2.

“The gameplay is essentially the same and, even if it isn't groundbreaking, it has the same charm and character as the first installment.”
“Fast forward a couple of years, and to my pleasant surprise, the developers used their lessons learned from Act 1, and it shows here in Act 2. They even vastly improved the gameplay through patches in Act 1!”
“The gameplay was very buggy, as expected from a new developer, and it got so frustrating that I couldn't stand to play the game anymore.”
“Game movement and mechanics are a bit clunky and unpolished.”
“Though there are some glaring bugs in the gameplay and level design, they're much less plentiful than Act 1 was upon release.”
