It was a huge improvement on the first game, everything felt so much more thought out
Like the puzzles, I for one really enjoyed Air's Rock and feeling just mindblown by how big it was.
While I don't appreciate all the stereotypes and how some continents were empty and hard to find stuff on (don't tell me that's just trying to be historically accurate, it's annoying for the player lmao), it is a very valid sequel. Do wish the characters had more to say though
