Simply put, Figment 2 is nothing special. The premise is however interesting. You play as an avatar of a human's courage on a mission through a surreal representation of the mind to restore stability by facing manifestations of stress, anxiety and fears. To progress, the game requires you to shift between open-minded and closed-minded states, altering the environment and how the inhabitants react.

However, the gameplay itself falls short. Combat is overly simplistic, reducing it to just two buttons for attacking and dodging, and just four types of regular enemies. Even boss fights boil down to repetitive dodging maneuvers. The puzzles, unfortunately, don't offer much challenge either, leaving players craving more complexity and innovation.

The constant dialogue is another letdown. While the game tries to convey depth and meaning, it ends up feeling incessant and not as profound as it aims to be. And the jokes fall flat. Even the musical numbers fail to enhance the experience, lacking the impact they could have had.

The co-op mode is very limited, with the second player controlling an indestructible bird, and leaving them with little real responsibility other than damaging enemies. It is certainly a much less enjoyable experience for the second player.

At around four hours of gameplay, Figment 2 still feels repetitive and unpolished. While it had the potential to be an engaging adventure, it falls short in delivering a truly remarkable gaming experience. If you're a fan of the genre, or looking for a co-op game to play with a non-gamer, it might be worth a try, but don't expect anything extraordinary.

Overall, I give this game 38 percent.
