Pretty unspired and overrated. Puzzles are mostly straight forward, and you can just muddle your way through most of them. Rarely got that nice "puzzlegasm" you get on a good puzzle game when you are mid-puzzle and the penny drops and you realize your current approach is all wrong, and that there's a whole other aspect to the puzzle. A well designed puzzle has a journey - from confusion, experimenting, semi-understanding, more experiementing, full-understanding. There was hardly any of that. Often I felt disappointed to solve a puzzle - I was overcome with a sense of "Oh, was that it?".

Buggy in parts, you and blocks can stick to walls at times.

Never played the original. Story wasn't particularly engaging. Ending was horrible. Spoiler: Either give me the choice to not enter the pod, or just let me plunge to my death in the incinerator for a nice dark ending. My heart sank when the cheesy cut scene with your wife and the president began.
