"Ittle Dew from 2013 has always been seen as a game that took direct inspiration from The Legend of Zelda series. Ittle Dew 2+ follows that principle, but adds so much more than the original game and sets out to create its own identity. It's sort of like allowing a game like Zelda to go a little crazy by not being entirely serious and be a well-designed game at the same time. Players looking for sidequests in order to have more to do won't exactly find that in Ittle Dew 2+. Instead, the puzzles and dungeons that are in the game are enough to fill that void. The developer Ludosity created an even better product than Ittle Dew's first outing and this game is sure to please fans of the first game as well as players looking for a puzzle-solving top-down action-adventure in the same vein as The Legend of Zelda. The team has great ideas and I'd love to see what they could come up with if given the opportunity of a bigger production budget."

About Ittle Dew 2
Ittle Dew 2 dropped on November 15, 2016, from developer Ludosity and publisher Nicalis. This indie adventure RPG mixes puzzle solving with classic dungeon crawling across multiple platforms like PC, Switch, and PS4. You play as Ittle, a little duck who crash lands on a strange island alongside her friend Tippsie. Their goal is simple yet absurd. They need to steal eight raft pieces scattered from locations ranging from beaches to someone's basement. The game lets you tackle the first seven dungeons in any order you choose. No linear path forces your hand here. You just grab your gear and start breaking into weird places to build a boat that can actually leave this chaotic island behind.
Gameplay
You spend most of your time exploring open areas to find keys, weapons, and hidden caves. The core loop involves using four specific magical weapons as tools to solve environmental puzzles. These items double as offensive gear when enemies get in the way. You can upgrade these weapons by finding duplicate copies scattered throughout the world. Combat is quick and relies on timing rather than deep RPG stats. The control scheme feels tight, letting you dash, duck, and attack with fluid precision. Since you can choose your dungeon order, you often backtrack to find shortcuts or unlock new areas with items you picked up earlier. Every locked door has a creative solution that depends entirely on what gear you currently carry.
What Players Think
Critics and players agree this sequel hits the mark better than many similar titles. Metacritic holds it at 75 while OpenCritic sits at 77, with 66.67% of critics recommending the experience. IGDB rates it an impressive 81.5 out of 100 based on six reviews. Video Chums gave it a 87, calling it a must-buy for Legend of Zelda fans who do not own the base version yet. The community data shows 10 total achievements with an average unlock rate of just 35.8%, suggesting many players get stuck or stop before finishing everything. Playtime varies wildly since you can skip content, but most sessions hover around standard adventure lengths. The mood remains positive, with reviewers praising the freedom to explore and solve puzzles without hand-holding.
PlayPile's Take
Ittle Dew 2+ is worth your time if you want a short adventure that respects your intelligence. The $10 price point on Steam makes it an easy pick for a weekend playthrough. You will spend about ten hours unlocking achievements since the 35.8% completion rate proves some puzzles are genuinely tricky. This game suits people who enjoy figuring out their own path through dungeons rather than following a strict script. It lacks the polish of AAA releases but makes up for it with charm and solid mechanics. The achievement system offers just enough challenge to keep you engaged without demanding hundreds of hours of grinding. Pick this up if you like puzzles over combat.
