Tyler not realizing child Ro isn't her child but herself when she went through the trial was kinda funny.

[@doomse150]

Exactly, one would've thought that the clothing would make that clear

[@satori695]

And the dreams were actually with her own mother with the same teal clothing.

What I expected: This will be a chill video about an aesthetically pleasing videogame What I got: Tyler is suffering the anxiety associated with being a mother

[@bucketdumper]

I absolutely needed a hour long video of Tyler saying "the child" over and over. It brings me joy

[@TemporalZack]

This idea reminds me of the ''The Baby'' montage of Metroid Other M.

[@owoLight]

big fan of the first game, cant wait to see what exciting puzzles come in this one also small note: the first game follows the character Ida (i believe?) and this one seems to be following a new character Ro… excited to see the lore behind the story

[@bugzilla318]

Maybe Ida is the child and Ro is the ghost in the original Monument Valley?

Ohh I remember playing this game as soon as it came out, I was such a big fan of the first one that I just had to try this one as soon as possible I completely forgot it existed, and seeing it again after so long made me feel nostalgia haha, such a good game.

[@s_carlett2138]

Hey Tyler, I absolutely love your content and have ever since the BTD5 days. I was wondering, have you ever considered playing/played Machinarium? It is a rather challenging puzzler with a hand drawn art style. I definitely think you should check it out! If that game doesn't sound too appealing to you, another that I suggest, would be Outer Wilds. Outer Wilds is a space exploration puzzle game that is hands down, 100% the best game I have ever played. Outer Wilds is much too underrated but the story is brilliant. Outer Wilds also has an interesting way of completion. Rather than progressing and unlocking new areas, you must learn of how to solve puzzles and discover the secrets of the universe.

[@haydeninch]

I think a video of Machinarium would be cool to watch. I don't think Outer Wilds is really Tyler's style but I would probably still watch.

[@s_carlett2138]

On “The Oasis” separate the child and Ro, with Ro at the sliding exit. (Do this by putting Ro on the slider, and the child left on the solid, slide Ro and have her walk to the door) Have the child go to Ro, and you skip the cutscene and the extra part.

[@BuilderB08]

This theory about the game isn’t too solid, mainly because of the sparseness of specific lore, so if anyone has any input, I would love to hear it! I think this game might be the past of MV1, since 1 seems to be some sort of redemption arc for a character who failed in some way- 2 seems to be some sort of trials, maybe Ida failed them and didn’t finish them, messing up some sort of cycle? Or it takes place after 1 and Ida began the cycle at the end of the game after… something. The game never specified why the birds became crows. Of course, it’s just a theory. A GAME-

[@pageturner2958]

Okay, I agree that this game is a prequel, but for a different reason. In 1, it is implied that humanity has been killed off, the ghost mentions the sacred geometry as being that their downfall I think. I don't think that Ida was a human who broke the cycle. I think she was just a bird princess who cursed her people by stealing the geometry. This game, 2, seems to show the importance of the geometry, I think the ending implies that the people have a mission, like a pilgrimage, to contribute in their own why to this geometry, and that the ghosts never finished their mission, that is why they each have a podium for their geometry. I think this game is just an explanation of the spirit and ritual surrounding the geometry, explaining why Ida stealing it caused her people such grief. The games are vague though, so I'm if the lore is very in-depth. I think "bird princess steal important geometry and cursed her people to walk the ruins of humanity while she searches for forgiveness" is lore enough for me

1 hour is not that long for a video given that some of his other "not big" videos are 40-50 minutes. Although maybe those are in fact "big" videos, it's just not directly stated.

[@darkdwarf007]

regarding Ouroboros. I believe it's related to the roguelikes' rise of popularity and the whole concept of replaying the game almost endlessly

[@Thisisntmysword]

33:42 My brother, that is not your child, THAT IS YOU.

[@chrisatticus8134]

This game is the prequel to my moment valley one because ro and ra (that's what I named the child) Are human and Ida destroyed all humans in the first game.

[@Donobodude]

This game has five more levels than the first; unless you include DLC, then the first has three more levels

[@reyman091]

I have noticed the increase in use of the symbolism. I feel its an expression of the changing in intrest of society, but the unchanging nature of reality.

[@cetomedo]

I've also noticed the Ouroboros motif is a lot more recurring, but it feels more like an emerging common side motif for games than an actual trend or common concept. Not for this one specifically, but inscryption featured it as its most powerful card by a long shot, that diving game with soul transfer had it, and it seems like people just know about it in general. Feels like some game (my guess is either inscryption or GoW) brought the concept to public view, and it being a cool and ancient pre-existing reference to cycles made it a prime target to indicate a cycle going on without having to invent your own motif. So any game with some sort of cycle, be it a groundhog-day type time cycle or a "linear" cycle like the princesses in monument valley, has a heavy incentive to use ouroboros as a background motif to hint at the larger story. It's a unique, universal, interesting and ultimately cool motif that will probably be better than what you could come up with, so why bother make something worse? I'm guessing it'll keep getting more common until it becomes cliche, then slow down. I do personally like the motif, so I don't mind, but I also used to like Megalovania quite a bit so overusing anything is probably a bad idea. On a seperate note, cycles as a story concept seem like they've really gotten more common lately, probably doesn't help the cycle motif being used less when the thing it describes is more common.
