What players say
Absolutely knocked this one out of the park!! I loved this game from beginning to end! Still another amazing soundtrack, beautiful scenery, the gameplay is still relaxing, tons of stuff to climb, BUT the level design I feel is far better and a lot more to explore! I wish Taku had a bit more to do than just a few diary islands, but all in all a fantastic experience!!

This is a relaxing game that you can never fail. Puzzles are not difficult. Optimisation is not perfect as it lags sometimes playing on deck. Achievements are mainly collection related. The only one could give some trouble is the animal collection. Main story of the game takes about 5 hours. Overall a fine game to play if you have already acquired it with deep discount.
If you've played the first one you know how this goes, explore a breathtakingly gorgeous but also somehow melancholy and creepy drowned city with your brother as you learn about yourself and the world. Like. Everything I wanted out of a sequel, The simple but very enjoyable gameplay of light exploration puzzles are still here. There's lots of things to collect (and the hub lets you view them! I am making a garden!)...
