It’s not an uncommon thing for me to ask for things only to be left with nothing, withering away in a pool of liquor and disappointment. But when I reviewed an amazing game called Gateway and asked for more, I was granted my request!

Okay, so maybe Gateway 2 wasn’t made just for me, but that doesn’t change the fact I am a happy camper.  The follow up game was almost everything I could hope for.

The minimalistic/stylized style from the first game is still as sharp as ever, and yet, this one has even more polish.

The visual beauty of the game is only ENHANCED by the moody background sounds and musical tracks.  You can’t help but get immersed in this game.

And the story… wow.  The first game was definitely interesting, but this one actually puts you into a strange, mind-bending tale that makes you really want to explore and see what happens next.
The nitpicky controls haven’t had much of an upgrade, your blockman still gets stuck a lot which at times is rather annoying, but not so bad as to make the game unplayable by any means. Just pretend your blockman is a special needs student and getting him from point A to point B will make you feel like a social worker with a heart of gold.
This game didn’t seem as long as the last one, but with the extra degree of immersion you feel it doesn’t come up lacking.

I’m going to push my luck and ask for even more of this franchise!
