Both a better and a worse La-Mulana. The gameplay (jumping, fighting, etc...) is a considerable improvement. The jumps are a lot more fluid, it's a lot easier to platform around, but the difficulty does ramp up to match it. The last area of the game is based on a secret, ultra-hard part of the first game, and it is not easy to go through. The puzzles are mostly great, with a few headscratchers and a couple that are just absolute bullshit. One thing that really disappointed me is that you can lock yourself out of the hardest puzzle, which has hints everywhere on the entire map. The game is hard, both gameplay and puzzle-wise. Expect a LOT of frustration and head-banging. The game purposefully disrespects you and your time: you WILL get killed by one-shot traps a lot. There are a lot more than La-Mulana 1, and you won't be happy about it. I did 5 push-ups or other similar exercices everytime I died as a fun challenge, and let's just say my muscles were sore every session. The last area ramps up the difficulty significantly. You need to be ready for a lot of frustration, a lot of deaths, and a lot of them being unfair. Just let it flow through you, become Zen :) Still, similar to LM1, it's a completely unique experience. There are no games like this, and it is completely worth playing. Ideal to play with a friend who's beaten it already to give you a few hints when you get stuck. Extremely difficult to completely solve without ANY external assistance, but doable!

The second game is a 10/10 badass, admittedly headache-inducing game that I beat without using a guide; Which is not something I think fucking ANYONE can say about the first bloody game.

La-Mulana 1 is one of the best and worst experiences i have had playing video games. La-Mulana 2 is just a really good experience. While La-Mulana 1 had a lot of bullshit puzzles which made no fucking sense, it also had some of the greatest puzzles i have had the joy of solving. La-Mulana 2 is a better game with better bosses less clunky controls and "better puzzles". Whilst I think the puzzle design is overall better it also only has like 3 or 4 puzzles which make you just sit down and think about the journey you traveled trough your notes and mind; La-Mulana 1 has a lot more of these, but at the same time a lot of them end up feeling like bullshit. La-Mulana 2 is extremely good but it lacks a few of the La-Mulana 1 highs, and avoids a lot of its lows (thankfully; the pipe can fuck right off). The game also has an amazing soundtrack and a lot of cool characters, seeing so many mythologies clashing and combining into the La-Mulana world is also very cool. There really is nothing too similar to these games on the marked, I bid these beautiful games farewell until La-Mulana 3 is here (pls)

Bloody excellent sequel to La Mulana. It does a lot right that its predecessor did wrong (the absence of puzzles you pretty much have to brute-force is a good decision), though it makes mistakes of its own. It's biggest mistake, IMO, is the wild inconsistency in bossfight difficulty. Fights like Echidna, Jormungand, or Nidhogg are absolutely excellent, but then there's a couple of absolute pushover bosses that make you scratch your head. Surtr and Aten-Ra fell over in such a way that I thought I'd messed up the boss order for a second, especially Aten-ra after exploring a pretty dangerous and challenging area to unlock him paired with a complicated puzzle. The puzzles and items used to solve them are an excellent step back from 1's tendency to invite random guessing in order to problem solve. Item usage tends to be consistent rather than eccentric, there's no more meta solutions like pausing your game in order to make your character fall asleep following a cryptic hint. The one caveat to this is the inconsistency in the Lamp of Time. I understand them wanting to nerf it to stop it from bruteforcing puzzles, but in some cases it seemed like the only solution. To then arrive at a similar puzzle that straight up ignores the lamp of time the crystal pyramid/golden rock where they deliberately patched the Lamp of Time out from solving it and getting stuck because of that is annoying. The game is massively rewarding to play, even when using guides to help you through the harder/more obscure parts of the game. Minibosses and bosses are a fun challenge to approach and the game is genuinely funny at times.

I was left with a very sour aftertaste after playing the prequel, stubbornly trying to solve everything the intended way, without resorting to bruteforcing. That turned out to be a waste of time -- due to a mistranslation, there wasn't a reasonable way to solve the puzzle I was stuck on. Yet, the beginning of La-Mulana 1 was quite enjoyable, and someone told me that La-Mulana 2 does not have any unsolvable, unreasonable bits -- so I gave it a chance. And, thankfully, that turned out to be true, at least as far as the mandatory puzzles go: your attention to detail WILL be rewarded, and that book-worth of notes you've made WILL come in handy, with no real bullshit getting in your way. I still got stuck plenty, but I felt satisfaction, not frustration, after finally solving and beating the game. You do not need to have played La-Mulana 1 to enjoy La-Mulana 2. In fact, it's pretty much the same game. Sure, Lumisa, unlike her father, can now crawl around, and platforms can now rotate as well as move, but everything else is largely the same: same weapons, same items, same traps, and many of the same enemies. There are many parallels and re-used ideas, but the experience is much more streamlined, without getting too easy. Still, the game has plenty of problems, too: in some rooms, it's possible sequence break and get to places you're not supposed to be in yet. This isn't much of a problem when the a sequence break is obvious, but there are also some solutions that will leave you wondering whether you were actually supposed to do that or not. The controls were not designed with a keyboard in mind at all: all the button prompts will always show you controller buttons, and the ability to quickly switch to a weapon using the number row keys is dearly missing, forcing you to scroll to your desired weapon one by one, in the midst of battle, like some sort of console plebeian. You will be going into the menu much more often that you would with a reasonable control scheme. The music is mostly good, but I hated some of the tracks for having random noises mixed into them. If you're the kind of person who likes challenging platformer boss fights AND taking copious amounts of notes, and thinks those two things absolutely do belong in the same videogame, La-Mulana 2 is your order.
