Just the first game but better in most regards. The kinda crappy movement controls are still here (and from what I've heard they're here to stay), but thankfully puzzles are a lot easier to come by with much better minigames and certainly a more interesting narrative. The ending hit hard, but I have some small criticisms of it that I'd rather not get into here since I'm not in the mood to make a spoilered review. The general pacing of this game was both better and worse than the first in that this time there was way more actual plot going on at any given time and the mysteries were spaced out far better... but like with the first game, the final area with the final twists hit all at the same time riiiight at the very end, with barely any time for a resolution. Also like the first game, the sheer volume of puzzles began to feel fillery after around the halfway point, but I'd chalk that up more to me binging these games. In any case, the half-star up from the first game is a very big half-star up. I just hope the next games will be even better.
