The Fall Part 2: Unbound Reviews
Given how great the rest of the game is, I'd have been willing to overlook some aesthetic deficiencies, but it beat my expectations on every level.
A great sequel to a metroidvania game from five years ago. This time ARID has to steal other robots' bodies to survive. It's bigger, longer and more polished than the predecessor, so if you liked it then, don't hesitate to try the new entry.

The wait for The Fall Part 2: Unbound has been long, but I'm happy to report that it has definitely been worth it. It is a bigger and better game that improves on everything its prequel did before and then some. The only complaint I can find about this sequel is that the wait for the third episode in the series is going to be a long one and I want to see where the story ends.
The player is rewarded for examining each nook and cranny carefully - in fact, often, puzzle-solving elements require it
The Fall Part 2: Unbound is a solid follow-up to its predecessor with a moving story and interesting puzzles. It is held back somewhat by occasionally obtuse solutions and bland action sequences, but is well-worth the price of admission for players eager to continue ARID's story.
The Fall Part 2: Unbound is a fantastic sequel that takes many of the elements of the first game and improves on them, creating a fascinating story and fun blend of gameplay elements.
The new characters are a welcome addition to the world. The story presents fresh ideas and feels like a worthy follow up to The Fall. The occasional awkward mechanic aside, The Fall Part 2 presents an exciting and satisfying adventure. Now get to work on part three!.
What ever it takes.
If this sequel improves on numerous points, The Fall Part 2: Unbound isn't technically better than the original game. However it doesn't prevent players to have some continuation from The Fall, and hopefully, we'll be getting a third chapter to close the loop soon.
Unbound is an excellent continuation of The Fall and sets up for an exciting trilogy finale.
The Fall Part 2: Unbound is a return to the formula of point and click games, this time with a sci-fi plot involving forms of artificial intelligence in a story that could somehow take place in the real world. Thanks to its quality writing, the plot really stands out as the main element of the game and this will certainly appeal to fans of point and click games, as well as to those who enjoy science fiction stories.

At its best, The Fall Part 2 feels more humanist and tactile in its approach to discussing self-preservation and how such desires lead to the defining of one's self.
Final Thoughts Although I can't compare it with the first game (yet), it feels to me that Over the Moon Games have built a better game on top of an already good game with The Fall Part 2: Unbound. It's take on AI is really captivating, almost as much as its story, and there are enough gameplay and story twists to keep you interested all the way to the end of A.R.I.D.'s quest.
Great part two in The Fall series, and leaves the door open just enough ready for part three. If Over the Moon continue with the improvements they've made to the next installment, then the trilogy should go down as a true classic of its time.
The Fall Part 2: Unbound goes deeper narratively than its predecessor but suffers from oversimplification of some mechanics
Anyone who's looking for a narrative driven experience dealing with character development or just like point & click games in general should give this a look. Luckily, it does both fairly well. What's been said about The Fall Part 2: Unbound leading up to its release is the heavily coined term "Metroidvania" being applied to it. Sure, there are bits of that to be found, and bits they are. It's more like sprinkled on top for a bit of flavor. Despite a few issues relating to bugs and controls, if you're seeking sci-fi, narrative and point & click puzzle solving... it's a solid package.
The Fall Part 2: Unbound delivers a brilliant package that’s worth the price of admission.
The Fall Part 2: Unbound repeats all the good from its first part and the less good. With great weight in the great setting, the interesting plot and the brilliant narrative, but with the tare of the action sections, inherited from its first part, and although totally subjective, perhaps the game feels long. However, we are facing another great science fiction work where we will have to solve a great variety of puzzles, quite a few of them new and ingenious, while we look for the person who is attacking us. Recommendable.

Setting and story make you think, without any moral club. The gameplay part, however, is still expandable.

The Fall Part 2: Unbound picks up the formula of the predecessor and leads to a new and unsettling original adventure, but there are some roughness still to blunt.
