Discolored 2

A visually gorgeous surreal adventure (in more or less the same vein as the first Discolored game, but this time with optional enemies and bosses), in which we are trying to return color to an entire world rendered completely gray and almost lifeless by a malicious organization. To achieve our goal, we use color prisms and various literal/material and figurative/concept tools and objects that we gather along the way. At first sight, the mechanics of the successive puzzles we encounter may appear as not making too much sense, but once we get immersed in the game's structural and conceptual universe, everything starts to fall into place. On a side note, I admit I was somewhat confused by the player's point of view in relation to the characters we meet during the game. Are we supposed to be "embodying" the science/agent lady in the red suit? The young man whose photo we find in the office desk at the beginning? Or to be alternating between the two? Perhaps something eluded me, but I had the feeling it was not made entirely clear, plus the sudden shift from first to third person towards the end. Other than that, the central idea is brilliant, with an interesting philosophical subte…

I am playing the version that no one chases you in (I'm not good at combat or running lol), and I am having a lot of fun. I like puzzle/adventure games, and this is PERFECT. The puzzles are unusual and inventive. I'm only 10 hours in and I am loving this so far!

Discolored 2, developed and published by Godbey Games, is a first-person puzzle adventure that leans heavily into atmosphere, abstraction, and a striking central idea: a world drained entirely of color, where restoring hues is both the player’s goal and the primary mechanic. As a sequel, it builds confidently on the foundations of the original Discolored while broadening its scope, presenting a longer, more complex journey that feels more deliberate in its design and more ambitious in its thematic intent. From the opening moments, the game establishes a sense of unease and curiosity, inviting players into a quiet, uncanny environment where nothing is quite explained and every detail feels intentionally withheld. The core gameplay revolves around exploring enclosed, dreamlike spaces and solving environmental puzzles by reintroducing color into the world. Colors are not merely visual flair; they are functional tools that reveal hidden objects, activate mechanisms, and fundamentally change how environments behave. This design choice gives the act of restoring color a satisfying sense of weight and purpose, as each newly recovered hue expands both the visual palette and the range of p…

If you like puzzles, escape rooms and patterns, this is an excellent game, I really enjoyed playing it. I especially like that there's a casual mode with no stress where you can just have fun with the puzzles with no danger, and a strategy mode that has dangers you have to figure out how to pass. The story leaves a lot to be desired, it's a great concept but it starts making less and less sense as you move forward. Did I just murder my co-worker to power a gem? Why am I thrown into an elaborate execution chamber if that guy can hurl freaking fireballs? Wtf is with the cyclops mutants that aren't mentioned at al in the story narration? When did I die and turn into a ghost that's capable of possessing the lady? Why am I her now, what the heck happened to me?? Why are the bad guys that hate color just casually stashing the actual undead around and why are they controlled by color?! Does the power of gay rainbows save the world or what? No idea. Honestly, I don't care, the game was fun and you should totally play it, I'm glad I did.

I liked the puzzles and plot, with a variety of physical tasks and traditional puzzles. The novel puzzle mechanic of goggles in the game is pretty cool.

Nothing wrong realy with the game (except the sudden third person and quick time events that suddenly happened). But after playing the first game and expecting much the same, this was just to different for me to recommend for anyone who liked the first game.
