The game has a charming, unique, and immersive world with memorable characters and a compelling story that resonates with players even decades after its release.
The soundtrack and voice acting are exceptional, contributing greatly to the atmosphere and nostalgic appeal.
The port to modern systems works well, with added features such as improved camera control, achievements, and controller support enhancing the classic experience.

The camera system can be awkward and sometimes static, especially indoors, requiring frequent manual adjustment.
The gameplay involves significant backtracking, unclear objectives at times, and high difficulty spikes that may necessitate frequent saving or using a walkthrough.

- “Good story, good quests, adequate difficulty, lovable characters and a beautiful message about hope and friendship.”
- “A unique title with adorable characters, fun, and interesting storyline, tricky puzzles, great voice acting - altogether a unique imprint from a different era, when the world seemed to be much simpler.”
- “You will feel anguish over how pointless and repetitive the tasks are, and the story isn't engaging in any way.”
- “Lackluster plot hook.”
- “- linear story, therefore it has little replay value unless you're trying to speedrun it or trying to find glitches, and hidden stuff/easter eggs.”

The music of the game, composed by Philippe Vachey, is widely praised for its beautiful, memorable, and immersive qualities, often cited as a key element that defines the game's atmosphere and nostalgic appeal. Despite having a limited number of tracks, the soundtrack effectively enhances the fantasy world and emotional depth, making it a standout and beloved aspect that continues to resonate with players years after release.

- “Sooooo yeah everyone meet my childhood right here this game is just... words just... man just get this game you will not be sorry one of my favorite to date and being 21 now I had this when I was 4 and easily over 200 hours and beat it over 15 times I still remember every little thing that you need to do and the OST just can't be beat I'm glad I'm getting to dust off this diamond of a game.”
- “One of the things that makes this game so special is the music, and this version (I don't know why) messed this up by randomizing songs for each scene.”
- “For example, you can go to the cliffs to defeat the Tralu and hear the Bazaar's music, which completely ruins the atmosphere.”
- “The game at present runs on DOSBox, and I experienced problems where the sound of the music was way too loud, and changing it in the in-game options did nothing.”

The graphics, once cutting-edge and highly praised for their blend of early 3D and 2D isometric styles, are now considered dated but still hold nostalgic and aesthetic appeal for fans of retro visuals. While not impressive by modern standards and occasionally hindered by fixed or awkward camera angles, the game's charming art style and design continue to be appreciated, especially when combined with its overall immersive atmosphere. Newer players seeking contemporary graphics may find them lacking, but longtime fans often regard the visuals as a nostalgic highlight.
- “Back in the 90s, the game looked incredible with its cutting‑edge 3D visuals that could stand alongside the Sega CD and even the PS1.”
- “The graphics and cutscenes are fantastic, and the design of the interiors and dungeons is truly impressive.”
- “LBA 2 is a huge leap in graphics compared to its predecessor.”
- “Awful graphics and awful controls.”
- “Make no mistake, the controls and visuals have not aged well and newcomers will likely not enjoy it.”
- “The 3D graphics have not aged well, being on par with something like Runescape Classic, but the main problem comes with the camera.”

The gameplay is generally regarded as unique and innovative for its time, combining puzzle, combat, and exploration elements with a distinctive isometric and 3D style. While praised for its charm, story integration, and variety, many note that controls, camera, and pacing feel dated or awkward by modern standards, sometimes requiring patience or save-scumming to overcome challenges. Despite these flaws, its engaging mechanics, mood system, and nostalgic value make it a memorable classic adventure experience.
- “Revolutionary gameplay for its time and very good story.”
- “Much of the combat and puzzle gameplay involves aiming projectiles using this system, so you'll be trying to rotate Twinsen like a turret with little taps of the arrow keys until you get just the right angle to hit that enemy or switch up ahead.”
- “The game functions fine as a standalone title, delivering improved gameplay and graphics over its predecessor with thematic events, puzzles, and locations that amount to a generally engaging experience.”
- “I don't know how it was to play it back in the day, but despite pleasant visuals, I wouldn't recommend it today due to dated and rather average gameplay.”
- “Basically, the only way to get through much of the gameplay is save-scumming almost every jump and combat encounter.”
- “Movement mechanics are somewhat (okay, very) wonky by today's standards, and the camera leaves a bit to be desired.”
