Gnomes Garden 2 was originally released for PC back in December 2015, just four months after the first game came out. The versions released for the Xbox One would come out in even quicker succession, with the sequel releasing less than a month after the first game hit the digital storefront.
Gnomes Garden 2 will be instantly familiar to anybody who played the first title, as the gameplay really hasn't changed much this time around. There are a total of 49 levels to play through, with each level taking around 5-10 minutes to complete. Each stage will provide a list of tasks that must be completed and the same 3-star timed rating for each stage has returned from the previous game, adding a little replay value for completionists.
The story involves the gnomes trying to restore their kingdom and thwart the trolls. Trolls will occasionally appear on-screen to slow your workers down, but can be sent packing if you have a fireman handy. If you want a more complete overview of the gameplay, check out the review for the first game here, as the gameplay in the sequel is the same as the first title and I honestly don't feel like repeating all of that again.
The interface is mostly the same as the previous effort, with options that allow you to adjust the volume of the music and sound effects as well as pointer sensitivity. There's really not a whole lot more to say about Gnomes Garden 2. If you enjoyed the first game and simply want more of the same, then by all means check this one out. If you were looking for the franchise to evolve in any way then you will likely be disappointed by the sequel as it is literally just more of the same.
Final Verdict: Gnomes Garden 2 isn't bad, but it does nothing that wasn't done in the first title. If you liked the original game and want more of the same, check this one out.
