After three years of development, Hiveswap: Act 2 is just fine. Hopefully the next instalment is stronger and will come earlier than 2023, but we’ll have to wait and see.
Hiveswap: Act 2 can be a little slow in places and doesn’t take us very far in the overall story, but it’s nevertheless a charming and beautiful point-and-click adventure set in a fully fleshed-out, intriguing alien world.

This game was a very pleasant experience!
Some things of note, including good things, bad things, and a bunch of other things in between
- Great Soundtrack
- Charming visuals
- Great characters
- Fun puzzles
- Great characters
- Much longer than the first act (about 7 hours compared to 3). However, the pacing is a much spottier than in the first one. There are no parts that i found insufferable, but the trial section was a notable drag
- There is a fairly large section of the game that is heavily inspired by the ace attorney games. Although i found it fun, it definitely wont be everybody's cup of tea. It has little to do with the overall plot, and takes up about about a third of the game.
- I am understanding with the games spotty pacing though, as it allows joey to get familiar with the basic structure of alternain society, which will in turn likely lead to more genuine characterization later on.
- Noticeably lower stakes than the first act
Overall, i found this game very enjoyable, with occasional rough patches. It is definitely worth your time and money, and im hopeful for how act 3 will turn out.

Compared to act 1, act 2 is bland, completely throws out the delightful characterizations for the troll call trolls introduced in Friendsim, and has tedious miserable puzzles (With one in particular being one of the worst I've played in quite a while). I would not recommend unless you're extremely invested in Hiveswap's plot.
