60 of 317 · most liked firstWhile the game mechanic and realisation are still very enjoyable, the game was way easier and shorter than the first one. I spent 15h on the first, while I got the 100% of this one in only 3.5h. Everything is straight forward, not much thinking needed, every animal is easy to spot, and overall less surprising than TOEM 1 with less locations to visit. I liked it, but was expecting a longer adventure, or more diversity in the situations and places visited, especially while knowing that the core…

unlabelledView post →As someone who is a big fan of the original game, especially considering it is one of my favourite games of all time. I have to unfortunately give this a not recommend. My main issue with this game is the difficulty. I feel everything is spelled out for you and it's way easier that the first. I'm not expecting the hardest puzzles in the world, but I was expecting more difficulty here. I remember having to think in TOEM 1 when solving puzzles and having that aha moment when I figured something…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →IN SHORT: NOT RECOMMENDED. PRETTY DISAPPOINTED. PLAY THE FIRST ONE AND STOP THERE. I rarely write reviews on Steam, but I feel like I need to write something for this one. The first TOEM has been one of my all-time fav games for the past few years. It also accompanied me through a really difficult period of my life, so it genuinely means a lot to me. I bought TOEM 2 almost immediately after release after looking forward to it for so long, which makes it especially sad to say that I finished…

unlabelledView post →To get this out of the way, this is a good game. It's still just as charming and fun as the first game. However, it really does not feel like a fully fleshed out sequel to the first game, rather just an expansion. The Game is much shorter than the first game, I finished it just under four hours. The original took me twice as long to finish. The first Toem has 6 areas (and 1 DLC area). This game has 5. If you take away the starter areas and the ending areas, the main playable areas are…

Now in 2026, I talked to @noxlof.bsky.social and @nikmikk.bsky.social from @swmgames.bsky.social about Toem 2, and how they created a direct sequel that's a deceptively massive leap. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXP5... #Toem2 #IndieGames

unlabelledView post →Absolutely loved my time with TOEM 2. This game is just as wonderful as the original, and the new areas were delightful to explore. The same charm was still very much there, with new additions like jumping and tools that made it feel refreshingly new. My only critiques were it lacked some of the features from the original, and didn't add anything in their place (the cosmic cubes, the shiny character portraits etc.) I was also hoping it would be a little longer than TOEM, or even similar in the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The first TOEM was a masterpiece and has forever left a mark on me. This sequel, however, felt almost like an insult to me because it really doesn't feel like the developers put their full effort into it. Everything felt like filler and none of the locations were new/engaging. Did I forget to mention this game is HALF as long as the first game? Nah, I'm extremely disappointed. This game should not have been made.

unlabelledView post →I hate to do this because TOEM 2 is not a *bad* game But it *does* feel like a downgrade from TOEM 1. TOEM 1 is a short game. TOEM 2 is about the same length, yet feels shorter. I would have expected a sequel to be larger, more complex, something built off of the foundation the first game laid. TOEM 2 is just the same thing again. TOEM 2 advertises the special tools you unlock to be able to further interact with the world around you, but the hammer is ONLY ever used in area you get the…

Some of the fun and magic is still found in TOEM 2, but the world feels so much smaller and the game is way shorter than the first one, even if you take your sweet time just looking around and having photoshoots. I was surprised that a lot of the stuff we saw in the trailer was pretty much what the game has to offer, which was a bit disappointing to see. I thought once we would…

That’s despite playing very slowly and taking my time. Just like in the first game, you get camera upgrades in the sequel, but in TOEM 2, these were region-specific; once you were done with that area, they became useless and were nerver brouth up again I also want to say that puzzle were not as intristing as in TOEM 1 but…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Toem 2 is a stellar game. It's a bigger sequel, yes, but it also keeps the simplicity that made the first Toem such a must-play.

So now I'm back for the sequel and couldn't be happier. TOEM 2 starts tonight at 5PM PT/8PM ET. Thank you for the key developers! Let's go take some pictures! #toem
unlabelledView post →TOEM 2, like the original TOEM, is a charming game about photography, (very) light puzzling, and a beautifully relaxing atmosphere. I absolutely recommend it, but would encourage anybody who hasn't played the first game to do so as well, because I think I prefer 1 over 2. Where TOEM 2 improved on the visuals and gameplay, it suffers in length and, in my personal opinion, impact. It took me about 8 hours to finish everything in the first game (including 90ish minutes for the free dlc area),…

unlabelledView post →During the past week, I replayed through almost the entirety of TOEM in preparation for the release of this game. That was almost 10 hours that I spent playing with the "swap look and zoom input" option turned on, and I played it that way the first time as well; I absolutely adore TOEM - it's one of my favorite indie games of all time - but I do unfortunately find the default Camera-Mode controls to be pretty uncomfortable and unintuitive. This option just isn't available in TOEM 2. There…

unlabelledView post →Sadly cannot recommend this one. Power ups are useless after the area you get them in, the game itself is a third of the length of the original. It's cute, but not enough content for a sequel.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Way too short. Very simple puzzles. The NPCs are so 2D and bland compared to the characters in the first TOEM as well as no special photos of said NPCs. The new mechanics are cool but only used a handful of times in each level but never outside the level they are introduced in. Not really a sense of discovery... All together another neat game but somewhat of a let down compared to the first one.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TOEM 2 is another lightsome adventure with a charming world and cast to adventure with. If you enjoyed the first game it's certainly more of that, and an easy slice of life many can enjoy. Full review: www.rpgfan.com/review/toem-2/
