La-Mulana 2

Not the game for everyone, but if you like old obscure point and clicks and puzzle games that make you learn deep lore of a game to solve, on top of an action game that lays traps like hates you but gives you ample hints and tips to dodge and solve them as if it only laid those traps in anger then cooled off and wanted to apologize, you're in good hands with La Mulana 2. La Mulana 2 feels like a game run by an "evil" dungeon master who wants to give you an incredibly hard experience, but if you start to buckle down, show dedication to meeting the challenge on its own level, you realize the "evil" part is just theatrics and that it actually wants to help you along and it wants you to succeed and solve its riddles, and delights in your joy as you do. Overall, I loved La Mulana 2. It felt like a significantly more fair version of La Mulana 1. DLC being kinda short and intentionally BS aside (it was fun, but I knew it would be BS as I went in and it was), this game was an amazing experience, Every puzzle was solvable with good note taking, every boss fight was fair and fun. The exploration was enjoyable, the levels were memorable, and the untelegraphed instantkilling traps were…

i think this is worse then 1 in some ways (it gets annoying in it's size in a way la mulana 1 never did) but in other ways it's just so compellingly huge and awesome that i loved the ♥♥♥♥ out of it. both near perfect pervert games side by side

A masterfully designed exploration adventure builds upon the strengths of its predecessor while expanding the scale, complexity, and depth of every system. Ancient ruins are packed with intricate puzzles, hidden mechanisms, and interconnected mysteries that reward careful observation and logical thinking. Progress rarely comes from chance, with each breakthrough feeling earned through investigation, note taking, and genuine understanding of the world. World design stands out through an impressive network of regions filled with secrets, shortcuts, and layered challenges. Clues found in one location often connect to discoveries made elsewhere, creating a sense of satisfaction whenever separate pieces of information finally come together. Exploration remains consistently engaging because every new area introduces fresh ideas while contributing to a larger web of mysteries. Combat and platforming provide a solid foundation beneath the puzzle focused gameplay. Enemy encounters demand attention and preparation, while boss battles offer memorable tests of reflexes, strategy, and pattern recognition. Equipment upgrades and tools gradually expand available options, allowing deeper access …

Much like with the first game I played it with a guide. This one is a more polished version of the first one, with better control, progress, puzzles and hints. You could say that as a result it's less bold and stands out less than the first one did, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It is still a really cool game with a banger soundtrack. I really recommend playing the first one before this. A lot of the story and characters would have felt a lot less meaningful if I hadn't played the prequel. And perhaps the gameplay changes too.

If you somehow liked the first game I think you'll like this one too

It's La-Mulana, but yet more! I'd play the first one first to see whether you like it? It's fantastic though.
