Chip's Challenge 2

yes

good

Clear Out is the new Blobnet

I like it, but also realize that I have nostalgia bias for the first game from playing it when I was younger, so make of that what you will. However, having the ability to make and play custom levels helps this out a lot. Some of them are questionable, while others are good, but they both add a lot more things to do with this game, which can make it worth your money and time if you are into this kind of puzzle game; a 5 dollar (usually less while on sale) price tag can also help with that.

Good. but there is a setting bug. 1. set music volume to 0% and stop game 2. start game and music plays at 100% while settings says 0% My guess is the game stores the volume setting but it does not parse it on start up.

I played the MS version of the original Chip's Challenge a lot as a kid. I'm 10 years late to the party on this sequel, but I feel like it's actually a stronger game. The greater variety of tools and traps may seem overwhelming at first, but they quickly become second nature, and offer greater complexity to the puzzles without making them too confusing. The puzzles in general are stronger here as well - gone are the long and monotonous rooms of the original, repeating the same task over and over, or dealing with blob RNG. Something about the way the levels are constructed feels like a more satisfying evolution, which is just what a good sequel should be

Graphics? Unchanged since 1990. Music? Ditto. (I have it muted at all times) Plot? Only the barest outline, basically nonexistent. This is a game that focuses purely on the puzzle gameplay to the exclusion of absolutely everything else you might care about in a game. I personally love it and don't care that it's so barebones on an aesthetic level, though I wouldn't question anyone who is put off by that. If you liked the original Chip's Challenge you'll certainly like this too. It expands on it in many different directions.
