March 2025

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.

Pretty much better in all aspects from the first game. Better graphics, effects, lore, gameplay... Would recommend playing first for new players, although you may lose much of the references to the first game. (And get spoiled I guess) yeah

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.

If you like cryptic puzzles that require you to exhaustively explore AND you enjoy metroidvanias with cool tricks and secrets, then this is definitely your kind of game. Puzzles and secrets EVERYWHERE and it's great! The DLC will troll the hell out of you, and so will the traps, but I love it all the same. And be sure to remember, read everything and check for breakable walls ;)

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.
