La-Mulana 2 - First Impressions

LM2 isn't the kind of game to show its hand in the opening (as neither was the first) and five hours in the execution here is about as par as the game previous if not a little worse. The riddles are still cool and interesting, rooms connect in crazy …
La-Mulana 2 - First Impressions
More of the same, I think?
LM2 isn't the kind of game to show its hand in the opening (as neither was the first) and five hours in the execution here is about as par as the game previous if not a little worse. The riddles are still cool and interesting, rooms connect in crazy but sensible ways, the lore undercurrent is more apparent now and while the soundtrack is weaker it's still rather strong.
But I find myself much less interested than I was for the previous game, I think that has a lot to do with the FAR FAR FAR weaker bosses but I'm also just not a fan of this aesthetic either? I can't put my finger on it but I certainly feel less engaged. I mean, I'm still making several pages of notes already and the competency at puzzle connections really hasn't gone down.
Shrug, I think from the start it's already a great game I just don't find myself appeased by what's been demonstrated so far, but I'll have this game done within the month with a full review out then.
