A justifiable approach from Rain Games in parts given how easy it is to grapple with, though one that isn't as bold and surprising a second time round -- lacking the broader creativity a sequel of its nature could have and should have brought. Curious in many ways, when it comes to applying one's abilities. In others, a game whose short run-time and lacking narrative sadly isn't offset by a more memorable and meatier world to explore. Short on meaningful exploration it may be, however, a focus once more on the intrigue of its mechanics, one that helped the original shine all those years ago, in similar fashion helps Teslagrad 2 establish itself as that of a solid, though flawed, follow-up.","https:\u002F\u002Fhardcoregamer.com\u002Freviews\u002Freview-teslagrad-2\u002F440470\u002F","2023-04-24","3.5",{"id":102,"author":103,"outlet":106,"summary":111,"review_url":112,"review_date":113,"original_score":114,"normalized_score":85},40045,{"id":104,"name":105},1973,"Giovanni Colantonio",{"id":107,"logo":108,"name":109,"website_url":110,"score_format":96},12,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FDigital-Trends-Logo.jpg","Digital Trends","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.digitaltrends.com","“Teslagrad 2's momentum-based platforming makes for speedy fun, even if it doesn't quite have the same spark as its predecessor.”","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.digitaltrends.com\u002Fgaming\u002Fteslagrad-2-review-pc-steam-deck\u002F","2023-04-25","3.0",{"id":116,"author":117,"outlet":120,"summary":125,"review_url":126,"review_date":127,"original_score":128,"normalized_score":70},54952,{"id":118,"name":119},4532,"Alana Dunitz",{"id":121,"logo":122,"name":123,"website_url":124,"score_format":50},45,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FGameGrin%20Logo.png","GameGrin","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamegrin.com\u002F","Teslagrad 2 is a puzzle platform that offers a unique type of gameplay that you don’t usually get to use.

This is by far the most used ability, as it turns Lumina into a bolt of lightning that goes through gates, propels her through water and up waterfalls, travels along zip lines, and even damage enemies. However, its use in combat in less effective than desired due to the recharge time between uses. Despite only lasting a second or so, that window leaves Lumina immobile and vulnerable, which is a significant issue when it takes one hit to die.
