Almost any puzzle that requires some outside the box thinking to solve has a hint provided somewhere in the game to crack it. The amount of puzzles and secrets is absolutely astonishing in LoG 2, and while a lot of them are fairly easy and mundane switch and pressure plate puzzles, some of them are really ingenious. Many of them use mechanics that discourage circle strafing them to death and trying to rely on it will regularly get you pinned in a corner. Enemies are often very challenging - sometimes frustratingly so - but that just makes the victories much sweeter. LoG 2 is significantly more varied with locales. The combat in it was really quite silly because most of it could be won by dancing around enemies. I consulted online walkthroughs to find a significant number of the better rewards in the game there after clearing all the levels on my own. Some of the secrets were really "out there" and seemed extremely random when it came to natural discovery (like: remove a torch here and a door will temporarily open halfway across the map). The first game was entertaining, but felt a bit monotonous. Shadowbaneaxe: My experience has been different. stopped playing when I realized I was using a guide to find all the secrets without caring about trying to find them myself first. The loot was stripped of its thrill of stumbling across it due to being hidden in the lush graphics so even that reward feeling was gone. I really didnt care about my team mates, I didnt care or really get the storyline or why I was there. Um, so basically what I felt was as each level opened it was a grind to map out, find the secrets, battle the new type of mobs, enjoy the new landscape but. Maybe the 1st one had a better story with each page pored over and those threatening dreams. Maybe the very low graphics of the 1st allowed for more thrills when you found loot and allowed more immersion due to imagination taking over the plain graphics. I go thru my checklist and really cant put my finger on why I am not having as much fun:Ĭomplicated puzzles and hidden secrets: check check checkīut still what is left is a grind. That surprised me as this game was an instant buy due to my love of the first. I played Grim 2 for days and realized slowly that I just wasn't having that much fun.
