I was kinda disappointed by this when I first started it. I haven't played the first, so I wasn't totally sure what I was getting myself into. I was expecting a mario-style platformer with worlds inspired by different mental conditions. What I got was much more combat heavy, story focused, and with significantly easier and less inventive platforming. Once I accepted the game for what it was however it became a much more enjoyable experience. The story is really gripping, and explores lots of great themes, and the worlds were all unique in their design (although not really in their gameplay). Overall a good play but definitely overhyped.
