This is part of a Gamers Xtreme review...

Simply put, Toki Tori 2 is one of the most refreshing, unique experiences of 2013. Two Tribes has delivered a superbly crafted world to explore, with astounding visuals, charming audio and clever gameplay mechanics. The Wii U has become a prime console for developers to bring indie titles to and Toki Tori 2 is a stellar example of originality and creativity at its finest. Two Tribes deserves a round of applause, as Toki Tori 2 ranks up there amongst Braid, Limbo, and Journey. If you own a Wii U, there's no reason why you shouldn't pick up Toki Tori 2.

It's absolutely beautiful, sounds great, and gives great value for money. Toki Tori controls admirably, even if he's perhaps a bit too slow at times. The choice of presenting the game with only minimal menus and little introduction to the story, other than a black smoke coming out of the ground and chasing Toki Tori's chick friends away, isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's cute and original in its own way, but it can be understood how it could belittle some people's early impressions of the game, which is why a demo would be most welcome. At time of writing, what happened to the level editor in this Wii U version that was hinted at in the past is unknown, but what remains on offer is still one impressive package of digital goodness. A puzzle-platform game well recommended to any fans of the genre! It may well be the best representative of the genre yet on the console.

Too often you’re reduced to inelegant lateral shuffling as you manoeuvre the pieces of the puzzle into position, left unsure whether you’re doing the right thing in the wrong way or you’ve missed a crucial ingredient – or, indeed, whether the solution really is that awkward to execute. Toki Tori 2 deserves praise for asking its players to take a leap of faith; it’s just a pity it’s not always prepared to follow them over.

A game of this high quality doesn’t come around very long and it’s wonderful to see it find a home on the Wii U eShop, giving Nintendo’s fledging digital store a new ‘killer app’.

A portion of a Nintendo Life review...

Like its toughest puzzles, the pieces eventually fall into place and bring satisfaction, but the move towards self-dependence, exploration and back-tracking doesn't always suit the puzzle-on-every-screen mechanic. As such this is a beautiful but flawed experience, worth an investment even if — occasionally — pride has to be swallowed and an online guide sought out.

Today's catch: Lava now glows, tutorialbird flies around in world map, we've got a preview build for the press and a was added.

With Nintendo outing a March release date, Two Tribes is really under some pressure now! Let's hope everything really comes together in time.

New stuff added today: approaching Shadowbiters darkens the display, and when switching levels the game now shows the world map too

Two Tribes just keeps adding more and more content into Toki Tori 2. I really can't wait to go hands-on with the final version...whenever it actually releases!

Coming from the official Two Tribes Twitter account...

Tommorrow we're having a team-wide evaluation session to pinpoint what part of Toki Tori needs work. Expect a recap afterwards. Toki Tori 2 that is. We're sort of done with part one ;)

I'm dying to play this sequel. The wait for release is like torture. Let's hope tomorrow's meeting goes smoothly!
