What players say

The first one was good, so I got this one. It's... less good. And clicking on some stuff makes other stuff move. You have to zoom in and out a lot more, and even then, clicking on something doesn't always register. It's just... not as good as the original

I love the concept and the artwork and interactivity is amazing. But that kind of adds to the frustration level the more you play. With so many things to click "open" and interact with, it eventually makes finding what you need a chore-fest of clicking everything. Fun at first, tiresome after X amount of levels.
RPNot recommendedafter 1.4hSep 2025Read on Steam
A quality evolution of the game series from this developer, I was highly impressed. The new features really enhance the gameplay and scene based storytelling. It is also worth noting that while the game has a lot of DLC, you can still play community maps that use DLC assets even if you don't have the DLC yourself - you just can't use those assets when building your own maps, or play through the associated campaigns...
