TOEM 2 Reviews
While familiar and breezy, TOEM 2 smartly uses its novel camera mechanic as the lens for solving neat photographic puzzles and observing its charming monochrome world.
Toem 2 is a cute sequel, but the adventure game magic of original has been streamlined out.
Each area has a distinct visual theme and feel, from the countryside farmland vibes of Cropten to the fantasy themes of Taletorp.
This isn't a cozy game — there are none of the farming or life-sim elements that are usually associated with that genre — but it is a game that is best played when you're cozy.
It all adds up to a game that will make you feel good , and which is hard to put down once you start playing.

It's a short and sweet experience that is just as comforting as the original.
It’s a true testament to Something We Made nailing the fundamentals of how much fun it is to observe the world through a camera lens the first time, all of which have been refined to make for an even more endearingly sweet journey about self-discovery.
TOEM 2 is a magnificent sequel.
Toem 2 doesn't go crazy with new ideas and you solving the game's challenges offer up singular solutions, but this second go around has livened things up in ways you can't help but admire and respect. So go ahead, take another soothing photo adventure and embrace the new things Toem 2 has to show you.
Toem 2 is a wonderful little game to explore. It feels like a vacation from the real world with fun gameplay, cute characters and delightful music and sound design.
A rewarding jaunt that's sure to win a child's heart, the adventure feels like it's over before it truly begins.
Something We Made's Toem 2 is a fantastic sequel that takes everything that made its predecessor great, and expands it.
TOEM 2 is a lovely and wholesome photography adventure. Filled with fun characters, fun puzzles, and a beautiful world to explore, the game is easy to recommend despite its slightly short length and simplified challenges.
A good sequel to a great game, it's barely different from its predecessor, and in some ways even inferior. But it's still a joy to play.

It may play it safe and is perhaps a little too similar to its predecessor, but TOEM 2 is another fantastic adventure game that has you taking photos to solve puzzles. Presented in black and white and an absolute joy to play, what TOEM 2 lacks in colour it more than makes up for in charm.
Sequels tend to get lost in the weeds of expanding scope, but Something We Made set out to simply improve and build upon what made the original TOEM pretty engaging. TOEM 2 is not groundbreaking. You may only notice the improvements when putting it side-by-side with the original. That is not a bad thing for fans and for those looking for a short and cozy experience you get exactly what you expect.
If there was one word to describe Toem 2, it would be “clever”. The application of camerawork is largely a win... outside of the tools, which still aren’t the worst, just the most obvious downside. Really, this is a cosy game that more than earns its title, and for that, it’s worth everyone's time to try.
Following patterns established by its predecessor, TOEM 2 offers players an unique experience as they explore and photograph the world around them. And it is a very charming world, thanks to the minimalist and monochromatic aesthetic of its environments.
