@KaraLG84 I definitely prefer the second Manamon game over the first, I feel like the storyline is generally more cohesive. Although in my opinion, that isn't a high bar. I'd note that the story can get a bit heavy in some parts and has no content warnings to tell you what you're going into, and if you aren't into giant mazes I'd say it might get difficult later on. Trying not to spoil too much here lol, but those are my main personal notes. Other than that it's an okay play if you're into that sort of game, I had fun with it. Although I haven't played it since it first came out 6+ years ago.

@Kaliah Are the mazes worse than the Minorough tunnel or however it's spelt in the first one? That one was a bit of a bastard.

@KaraLG84 Yes, yes they can be worse. Some of those areas are nasty. I will note, though, that the main horrific maze is in the post game, so you can beat the game in terms of story without going through it. I'm generally good with mazes and this post game maze took me at least 3-4 hours.

@Kaliah wow. I wish it had Shades of doom's have I been here before button. That was so useful.

@KaraLG84 Yes, that would be very very useful. I would've appreciated that immensely when I was trying to do that stupid maze. That thing is a horror.

@Kaliah I imagine if I do buy it, I don't think I'll be playing much of the post game stuff. I haven't in the first one.

@KaraLG84 That's fair, then yeah you can avoid that maze entirely. There are still some bad mazes in the main game, there's one area that's particularly nasty, think shadow kingdom equivalent if you beat manamon 1. But I don't think anything in the main game even comes close to rivaling that post game maze.
