The emotional aspect of "Vitatio 2" is largely absent, as players describe it as a simplistic and repetitive mouse dexterity game focused solely on precision and accuracy. While it may evoke nostalgia for classic maze games, the lack of engaging narrative or character development leaves little room for emotional connection, with many reviewers noting frustrations with gameplay mechanics and overall execution.
- “In Vitatio 2, your hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills are tested by having you navigate the mouse pointer through a very short maze while avoiding touching the edges.”
- “Vitatio 2 is an accuracy-based game in which you need to guide a small ball using your mouse to certain objective points without touching the sides of the walls.”
- “The trick is to be able to navigate your little orb/star/whatever to collect whatever other stars there are on each level without touching the walls of the maze.”
