Q.U.B.E. 2 was a little frustrating for me.
I mean, it works well as a sequel, and it is a good game, but there were a few things that took me off of it.
Story-wise it is not amazing, with a good plot twist but a not-that-bright concept overall. And, the thing that most bothered me, the puzzles are unbelievably easy. There were great new mechanics added to the game and most of the level design choices were great, and the variety of the puzzles was surprising, but they were really weak. I’m not a puzzle game enthusiast and solved every single one of them on the first try.
But I did like the game. The voice acting is good and the visuals are astonishing, the gameplay is good, and as I previously said, the mechanics (the ones that came from the first game and the new ones) are really good and interesting, making the gameplay really fun. Considering that the game goes for almost nothing on steam sales I’d say it is easy to recommend, even not considering it that much better than the first one.
