Overall, I'm loving this game. There are quite a few things different from the first game. I have only one major complaint, and it's the Frostbreaking mechanism - I can't figure out why it's even there, aside from a resource/time suck. But even that isn't enough for me to knock a star off. The graphics are gorgeous, there is more detail than I think I'm ever going to be able to take in entirely, the music is fantastic, and the "easy mode" is challenging, but I can still relax a little. Great for learning the new mechanics. I'll eventually up the difficulty, but keeping it as-is to take it all in. Developers are forgiven for delaying the release. :D
