Actually in hard af
just made it past East 3 (3rd area), and into the megastructure. looks like around 25% through the game
each new area introduces a new mechanic. so far each area has 8 main puzzles, two extra 'triangle' puzzles, and two star puzzles. I've been doing everything before moving on. in-between there's dialogue with your group of 'droids as you all explore and try to figure out what all this shyt is about (you solve all the puzzles, the rest just wander around). the areas are big, but luckily your android can sprint fast all day
puzzles haven't been too bad so far, but there's definitely been a few that took me a minute. been able to 'cheat' on a couple by using the connectors intended for the star puzzles
. both times I went back and figured out the proper solution. you can collect "sparks" to skip puzzles, but fukk all that 
this is an amazing game for $30

beat the game tonight. not as difficult as the first game and DLC, but the puzzles towards the end were definitely challenging
pretty cool how much they fleshed the game out with an actual story. it kept me interested, despite being overly philosophical (like the first game)
the level design was really cool. each area has these huge brutalist structures containing puzzles, but each area has a different style of structure. it definitely makes each location feel unique
great game. one of my favorites this year. I gotta check out Coc00n, since it's also supposed to be a good puzzle game

And a new open beta branch is available to everyone.
the story in the first game was more something you had to piece together yourself. it's definitely more heavy handed and linear in the sequel. I prefer their approach in the first game too, but I guess they went this route for more mass appeal. same with the puzzles being easier in the sequelI seem to be in the minority, but I preferred the first game to this. The story in the first one just hit different.
This is still good though and worth checking out.
