Figment 2: Creed Valley sees Dusty back on form as a hero of the mind following events in the original Figment. This time, he’s charged with ridding the psyche of the dark shadows that plague it, including evil jesters and rampaging hogs.
While the trailer is short on details, it looks like a good bit of what makes the original Figment special returns in Figment 2, such as singing bosses and Dusty’s optimistic companion Piper.
The same goes for Figment 2’s mechanics: the puzzle-solving, light platforming, and action-based combat.
One significant difference is how Figment 2 handles its puzzles. This time, Dusty switches the mind between open and closed states to affect the mental environment and solve puzzles. How this works remains to be seen, though Figment 2’s prologue promises a glimpse at what makes the game tick.
