Overall, this is a great puzzle game with the only major things holding it back being the non-puzzle aspects of it. The introduction of the new mechanics were super fun and really brought a new dynamic to the levels, but I felt the ramping of difficulty was handled much better in the first game. There were the occasional headscratchers that took me a bit to get, but for the most part all of the puzzles felt consistently the same difficulty, even on the last level.

This might just be me, but I liked the approach they took in the first game by making the story being told through text logs, making it non-intrusive and being able to engage in it if you want to. In this game, some goofy robot nerd will stop you dead in your tracks if you get within 100 feet of them. I do not want to ponder the meaning of life you. I just want to solve puzzles. Leave me alone.

The game itself is gorgeous and looks incredible, but the amount of running I had to do was just way too much. It took me the same amount of time solving a puzzle as it did running to the next one at times. My complaints aside, this is a fantastic game with very cool puzzles that really challenge you. If you love puzzle games, this is a must-play!
