If you have ever played Garten of Banban, then you are surely familiar with the horror and quite destructive gameplay style that this game brings. If in part 1, we could only play around the area in the daycare, then in Garten of Banban 2, you will explore a giant underground facility that exists below the kindergarten. Here you will encounter new puzzles and challenges that are more challenging and true to the game’s return, it will be many times more terrifying than the previous part. In my opinion, this game has all the elements that a person who loves adventure and exploration needs. Although Part 1 did not focus much on helping players be more adventurous, part 1 did a great job of reinforcing the scary element of the game. In part 2, everything is still the same as in part 1, but one point has been significantly improved: we are allowed to explore this kindergarten more deeply when the game reveals that under this kindergarten, there are still secret passages that have not yet been discovered.
EXPLORE THE UNDERWORLD OF BANBAN’S KINDERGARTEN
Just like part 1 of the game, right from the first moments when I set foot in this basement area, I could completely feel the creepy atmosphere that the game showed. Everything here is quite dark; all we can see is the flickering flashlight to lean on and find our way. It can be said that under this kindergarten, there is a huge underground facility that is like a maze covered with countless dangerous secrets. It can be said that our senses will be pushed to the highest level because we will not want to be caught by scary creatures.
- Massive Facility: A new area was added below the nursery that needs us to explore.
- Dark Secrets: Besides map changes, the game also creates many mysteries that stimulate our curiosity.
MORE FRIENDS TO MAKE
When I played this game, I thought it would only bring scarier monsters than part 1, but it turned out it brought more surprises than I could have imagined. Besides the horror that this game brings in part 1, part 2 of the game also gives players interesting character choices. In the game, you will be able to choose between a new cast of characters with all kinds of quirky and interesting personalities, from eccentric scientists to mutant creatures. One thing that I can see as a big development step for this game in part 2 is that we can bring back the quite familiar characters that were in part 1 and further explore the characters more deeply.
- Endless Characters: In this part, the game also offers many characters for us to choose from and meet along the way.
- Familiar Faces: Old characters from part 1 of this game will appear and continue to tell their stories.
NEW CRAFTING AND BUILDING MECHANICS
Going deep into the maze under the kindergarten in the game is something we must do. Exploring the deepest corners of this underground area can help us find some valuable resources such as ropes or bones. All of that will be used to create the necessary items to avoid the monsters that are hunting you.
- Gather Supplies: You can absolutely create extremely handy tools to fight distant forces with things you have picked up along the way.
- Craft Equipment: Items in the game that you can craft, such as swords or shovels, are extremely useful for your survival.
CHALLENGING NEW PUZZLES
What’s more interesting than the game’s horror is that it provides many ingenious puzzles that require players to think logically and observe meticulously to decode them. I feel that the puzzle here is even older than Banban himself. Everything is as if that area was once inhabited, and it seems that the mysterious previous inhabitants of this underground area have left behind these difficult challenges, waiting for us to come and decipher them. I quite like these details in the game because, honestly, solving the difficult puzzles of the game not only helps me move forward but also gives me a feeling of pride for being able to solve them.
- Test Thinking: Your reasoning skills will really be shown when playing this game with difficult puzzles.
- Unknown Puzzles: There will be puzzles that you have probably seen before, but there will also be puzzles that will take you a lot of time to solve.
