Easily one of the most fun puzzle oriented point and click games I've played. It keeps the main concept- exploring those cool looking 90s pre-rendered environments looking for several artifacts, but improves pretty much everything from the first game. The city of Cyclone is extremely creative and interesting to explore, filled with secrets, but much more intuitive to navigate once you learn it. The puzzles are challenging, but mostly doable, with a single brutal exception. Also you no longer have to write down a thousand of things as the game has a very useful "flashback" feature.

Another great QoL is a map with quick travel, extremely useful in a game with huge amounts of backtracking like this one. Finally art and story direction is also much more consistent this time around. Its still campy, but executed much better and with plenty of good ideas along the way, like the weird music clips with clues and the uncanny themed shops.
