I never played the original Isoland, but after spending some time with Isoland 2: Ashes of Time, I'm going to have to go back and check it out! This is one of the most mind-bending, headache-inducing adventure games I've ever had the pleasure of being stumped by.
A big part of the appeal of Isoland 2 is its visuals. The game uses a delighful cartoon style that made exploring this odd island full of riddles all the more entertaining. And though it's light on story, I ran into a few other colorful characters that added to the atmosphere.
The real star of the show, though, is the puzzles, of course! Isoland 2's brainteasers often had me staring at my screen in confusion for tens of minutes at a time before figuring out a solution. But all that work made each bit of progress feel even sweeter. And thankfully the game has a fairly friendly hint system, although you need to spend in-game currency (or pay real money) if you want more substantial clues.
I'm nowhere near done figuring out what the heck is going on in Isoland 2, but I think I'm going to take a break from it to rest my brain... Nah, just kidding, I'm downloading the first one to see how badly that busts my noggin.
