Figment 2: Creed Valley Reviews
This sequel isn't quite up to the same tempo as the first game, but Figment 2: Creed Valley is still a fun musical adventure for both young and older players. If you're looking for a charming co-op that's kid-friendly, Figment 2 is a great recommendation.
Figment 2 stands as a competent and creative action puzzle game with a lot of heart. Though it feels rather short, it's clear that a lot of thought and care went into making this charming world. Satisfying puzzles and excellent presentation are a big draw here, though they're let down by simplistic combat and undeniably rough, gameplay-affecting performance on Switch. We'll keep our fingers crossed for patches, and we'd still give Figment 2 a recommendation, though you may want to wait for this one to go on sale.
Figment 2: Creed Valley is not only an improvement on the original, but it tells a wonderful story that reminds you what really matters.
Figment 2 is a good sequel but lacks the novelty of the original. Many of the story beats and mechanics feel familiar from the original and the lower stakes take awaay some of the emotional impact. That said, I do appreciate a more down to earth piece of storytelling and think there is plenty of room in gaming for more of this. It's a perfectly pleasant game, but it also won't stick in the memory as well as the original.
Slightly above average or simply inoffensive. Fans of the genre should enjoy them a bit, but a fair few will be left unfulfilled.
Figment 2: Creed Valley is a story about letting go of the stress that life might throw at you. It reminds you that you're not too old to play the ukulele and that you too can dance like an idiot. Admittedly, the lack of visual progression is a shame. But the art style is fantastic, with each brush stroke looking uniquely gorgeous. Not only that, but the music feels like its own character, as though it lives in the world. The story itself is an emotional rollercoaster, and by the end, you can reflect back on the great journey you've taken.
Figment 2: Creed Valley feels like Bastion met Psychonauts. It's an adorable action game set within the four walls of a troubled mind, delivering a colourful albeit shallow journey to enlightenment.
Figment 2 is a step forward and a step back at the same time. It improves in some areas and falls behind the previous game in others. Still it manages to give you an enjoyable 5 hours with great visuals, songs and a story that tells you what is important in this life.

Figment 2: Creed Valley is a very fun game with an interesting message. Despite some limitations that hold it back from being a more impressive game, it is a good example of a simple indie title whose personality takes it to a good level.

While perhaps a bit too similar to the original, and only weighing in at a little over a handful of hours, it still has loads of charm
Its subject matter is not original, but it certainly has a place in the puzzle of modern life and is worth engaging with.

Figment 2: Creed Valley is not just a game; it’s an experience. From the captivating story to the music that touched our hearts. It was an absolute joy to play and experience, and many others should as well. It touches on real-life subjects but also guides us through them. Sometimes a change of perspective is all we need to see the world from a different view. Figment 2: Creed Valley is currently only available on Steam, and we can’t recommend this game enough.
Figment 2 is one of the best games I’ve played in 2023. It may have a short runtime but it uses every second to tell a simple story and blow you away both with its visuals and its audio. The core gameplay remains interesting until the very end while every area you visit is full of character and charm that makes this one impossible to put down.
Figment 2: Creed Valley dives into the human mind and perfectly balances the story, gameplay, and visual design to present a complete package worth checking out.
With creative and fun puzzles, Figment 2: Creed Valley is one of the most charming games I played recently despite its shallow combat. The musical rhythm, colorful and lively sceneries and the voice acting, especially for the protagonists, make it one of the most captivating titles I ever touched. It's an easy recommendation for people looking for a light and challenging game to pass the time.

Like the first game, Figment 2: Creed Valley packs serious topics into a cute look with decent riddle- and adventure gameplay. The boss fights in particular are a real highlight and help to overlook small technical glitches and the like.
