Toem 2 review: A sweet sequel that's a tad too easy to be memorable

This photo-based adventure is super sweet but a little too easy to capture the glee of solving adventure game puzzles.

Toem 2 review: A sweet sequel that's a tad too easy to be memorable

Toem 2 is a charming sequel to the original adventure game, where the solution to most problems is simply taking a photo with a camera. The story follows a character who travels between four towns, completing camera-based tasks to collect stamps for the next bus stop. Each town has unique camera attachments and locals who require assistance, such as photographing gnomes, taking inspiration pictures for plants, or rescuing scattered dandelions.

The game also features traditional adventure game tasks, like helping a scarecrow or a knight with a wound. Collectible outfits, including a favorite headpiece, allow for completionist play. The streamlined main quest and clear objectives in Toem 2 create a straightforward experience, but it may lack the inventive puzzle-solving charm that made the original game stand out.
