As much as I despise some of the harder laser puzzles this and the the DLC were satisfying to play. Whenever a puzzle game makes me need to go to bed and I finally wake up in the morning with the answer I know its got me.

Wow! What a ride! The first game was already good, but this one takes it to the next level. The puzzles are crisp, the landscapes are magnificent, the music is beautiful, and the story makes you think about a lot of things. Everything comes together to paint a masterpiece. One of the best 3D puzzlers on the market right now.

I cannot recommend this game to anyone. I really liked the original game but this one is completely different. Yes the puzzles are the same but the stuff in between the puzzles is just exhausting. What made the first game so good was the tower. You were told right at the start that you are not allowed to go up there. And that's exactly why you wanted to. It was always there in the background and you kept wondering…
