Due to how the devs (whoever was in charge after MM moved on) left the game in a state where you had to downgrade update the game to make a save, and samewise to even watch the final cutscene (only if you were playing it on a save for the older versions), for a long time I felt some iffy about this one. Even as I replayed LBP1 quite a bit.

And now this month, after finally giving it a good (almost) 100% replay, I’d say both are tied for me in terms of what do I prefer..

Not only do I see and remember why it was my childhood favorite out of the two, but I also appreciate certain elements I didn’t before like the movie references or the way the music tends to come together..

In terms of making LBP, this is great, even better than LBP1.

It can be slightly hellish when trying to 100% it in The Cosmos though. Took me some good retries as in LBP2 levels are split in halves/longer and if you die once, gotta do that shit again..

Still a good game after 12 years, aged remarkably well, and should be brought up some more along with its predecessor in gaming/platformer discussions.

Just that I wish the game got some new patch to finally undo the damn issue of the game literally crashing when your gonna see the final cutscene. It doesn’t even load anymore ffs (https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/891500477898977280/1144503182513410119/IMG_4584.jpg)
