Only a few hours in and I love it. I was not initially sold on the cut scenes of the game and preferred the original where you had the option to stop and read the storyline. Without spoiling the game, the cut scenes are mostly done by the time you get into the first act. The puzzles are great with more mechanics than the first game. Navigation is made easy in the "open world" type of puzzle solving with the new optional compass at the top of the screen.

The music combined with the visuals of the game are so beautiful. As a puzzle game, I was not expecting to stop and look around at the scenery as much as I did. The game creators really outdid themselves here.

The game runs at about 50-60 fps at 1440p with DLSS on for me with medium settings. I have a 3070, Ryzen 3700X with 32GB RAM and it will sometimes dip below 30fps. If you have an older cpu or gpu, the game may not run very well. They also recommend you download the game on an SSD rather than HDD. In my opinion, the visuals of the game make up for the issues in performance. Just make sure you are above the minimum recommended specs.

I'm not sure how the game will progress but 4 hours in, and it has me hooked :)
