What a fucking masterpiece this was

I was just expecting this game to be a good enough game that just improved the controls of the first game, a simple 8/10 but it managed to be much more

it kept the funny writing from the first game but managed to make some really compelling dramatic moments. the original did have a couple dramatic moments, mostly in the last level with Raz's dad and some of the memory vaults, but the writing was still more focused on making you laugh but this game managed to make some really serious moments, to me the highlight was the scene where Raz's dad found out the truth about Nona; no words, just a family being there for each other.

I also love the villain, they made what is such a conceptually stupid villain a clever and honestly sinister one, a delusional brat that believed his father's tyrannical rule was just, also his level was great, the song they played is very catchy, a mix between a Disney World ride and a propaganda piece

the only thing I think this game could have done better is keep Nona dead at the end; it would have been a nice way to conclude Ford's arc but in the grand scheme of things that's a nickpic compared with everything else this game this greatly
