The whole game is entirely well put together from a plotting perspective. Fun fact (I only just learned through my most recent 100% play through) you know how Dogen is talking to the squirrels at the start of the game, and thinks they’re pressuring him to kill everyone? After you return Dogen’s brain and find him in camp to talk with him again he mentions that the squirrels were saying something to the effect of “the small guy is going to kill everybody”, he took it as they were telling him he was going to do this while they were ACTUALLY talking about Oleander! Poor squirrels.

THANK YOU! I was so confused about these plot details that kept getting dropped from Rhombus of Ruin. I'd heard it was only a tie-in spinoff and I don't own VR so I can't play it anyway. It's a shame they put so much plot-important stuff in such an inaccessible title. It takes away from the second game a little bit.

After watching this video I fully understand and grasp what is going on after the intro and the fun factor for the game just went up tenfold. THANK YOU SO MUCH! Really appreciate it!

I remember getting this game on the original XBox and falling in love with it right away. It's so weird, quirky, and just plan fun to play. I eventually got it on Steam as well. This was such a great game. I can't remember if it didn't get the love back then that it gets now and it was a shame. I first read about it in an XBox Magazine review. Just the strange environments, the weirdness of it all, puts this on a level that I haven't seen since. And the game still holds its own today and hasn't really age much. And so much to explore and find.

It had been many years since I played the original so I booted that up to refresh my memory but still had questions on how we got from the ending of 1 to the beginning of 2. I didn't even realize there was a VR game with fairly crucial story, plus I actually didn't pay too much attention to all the memory vaults so this vid really helped iron out the details. Looking forward to going through 2 now!
