HUGE step up from the previous game. i could immediately feel the satisfaction of the mechanics in the first 30 minutes. presentation wise, it only got more beautiful.

story, sound, world design were supreme. level design was also hella improved and it was so much more fun navigating this world with the movement in this game. it feels a lot more refined compared to the first game and i actually went and did as much of the optional stuff i could in the game. very slick and satisfying puzzles and interactions with the world.

backtracking was 10x better and the satisfaction from the movement makes it fun to even start backtracking. joined with the QoL, i liked going through the levels again and again but with better movement tech each time.

side scrolling sections are way better written. none of the "gotcha" moments and it tests what you've learned while moving the narrative forward.
