Ok so I was excited for this game. One of my favorite games getting a sequel? wow! this was one of the first games I can remember getting excited for. It’s the first time I awaited a release date. So when the day finally came I couldn’t wait to play it. At the time I enjoyed the game however I end up liking it less and less as I get older.
I feel like this is a disappointing sequel that fails to truly live up the original. Sure the controls are better but I can’t even say the gameplay is a improvement because having to rely on oswalds awful ai is just a chore and I swear didn’t work properly sometimes. as for the level design it’s fine but feels much more linear than the last game. Being linear isn’t always a downgrade however for this game the levels feel more repetitive than before. And I don’t like the areas overall nearly as much as the original.
My main problem is the charm or lack there of. this game has much less of the style and awesome art of the original and just feels much more uninspired. feeling more like a generic disney product. I’m not saying everything has to be dark and gloomy but they could have gotten a little more creative with some of these environments. i’ll admit the game has its moments like the fort and especially the float yard but as a whole feels so much more uninspired and bland with its style. even the music took a hit I don’t remember any of the new songs here.
as for the length this game feels way too short. now I prefer shorter games (3-6 hour games I like) but this game felt short in the bad way. in a way where it doesn’t feel complete and ends abruptly.
In a lot of ways this game feels like the heart and soul was taken out for a more accessible but much less memorible game. I suppose it’s not AWFUL just kinda a mediocre sequel to a very special and unique game. i’ve played a lot worse but this game is really disappointing because of its potential and the exceptions set.
