Klonoa 2: Lunatea’s Veil

Damn.

I was not expecting this game to hit me as hard as it did.

First of all let's get the easy part out of the way, the gameplay. This game does what every sequel should do and build upon what worked on the original, so if you like the original you will like this too. Although this game does also introduce hoverboard stages, I feel these are a great addition because they build upon the grabbing and throwing mechanics of the main gameplay so that they don't feel too far removed and are infrequent enough to be fun way to break up the main gameplay without detracting from it.

And now the story, this is hard to quantify as it is a very emotional story. The characters are great, with good character growth. There were two moments in particular (an important character moment for one of the side characters and the ending of the game) that honestly had me on the verge of tears.

Do not let this game pass you by, play it on easy if you have to. One of the best stories in gaming.

Ya no son solo esas mecánicas pulidísimas a niveles bárbaros, esa música que roza lo adictivo o esa dirección artística tan preciosa. Es que encima el juego es difícil pero hace lo posible por que lo disfrutes sea cual sea tu nivel de destreza. ¿Quieres ponerlo más fácil? ¡Pues hazlo, no pasa nada! Que esto está para pasártelo, no para agobiarte. Porque de esto va la historia, de una chica dispuesta a superar sus límites, a convivir con la ansiedad y a crecer como persona. En serio, no os lo perdáis, no por nada ha sido nominado a mejor juego el mismo año que God of War y Red Dead Redemption 2.
