Oik Memory 2 Reviews

I still like this game, but not as much as the first one. I understand that they wanted to spice things up by randomly changing the order on each failed attempt, but I liked the mechanics of the first game much better. The last levels were very difficult for me to complete because I kept forgetting the order and position of the middle squares in the sequence. In the first game, you simply repeated the level until you got the sequence down. Here I got so frustrated at some point, that I simply recorded the solutions of some levels to get further.

Oik Memory 2 is brutally demonic. Seriously. If you make a single mistake, the sequence changes completely, making trial-and-error or copying from a tutorial basically impossible. There’s no cheating here — either you memorize it and get it right, or you start over with a new challenge. This second chapter is a true memory test, meant to be tackled with focus and no shortcuts. Every level pushes you to your limits in a fair but unforgiving way, and that’s exactly what makes it so satisfying. If the first game felt more like a concept introduction, Oik Memory 2 is the real deal, immediately challenging you with serious difficulty. For fans of memory-based games looking for a tough, well-earned experience, this is highly recommended. The only downside is that, because of its simple core mechanic, you start to feel a bit of repetition, and thinking about a potential third entry raises questions about how much innovation is really possible. But for now, Oik Memory 2 absolutely nails what it sets out to do.
