Lost Twins 2
A cute puzzle-platformer with a unique mechanic of moving the world itself to create new paths. Play solo or with a friend in local co-op mode to help Ben & Ab…
Ever since Playdew confirmed Lost Twins 2 for August 14, 2025 on PC (Steam), Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PS5, I’ve been counting down the days. The first game slid into my heart with its warm story and clever design, and this sequel promises to push those feelings even further as I guide siblings Abi and Ben through a brand-new world of shifting tiles and hidden wonders.
Imagine Professor Layton’s brain-teasing charm mashed up with Monument Valley’s gravity-bending vistas—Lost Twins 2 doesn’t just nudge blocks, it lets you slide entire sections of terrain to forge new paths. I still remember that hands-on demo moment when a simple tilt of a platform revealed a hidden ledge, triggering a rush of delight that instantly transported me back to my first Monument Valley session. That blend of nostalgia and fresh mechanics sets the tone for every level.
The genius of Lost Twins 2 lies in its tile-shifting system. Each scene is comprised of movable chunks that you slide, flip, or rotate, opening secret routes and unlocking passages. You’ll need spatial reasoning to anticipate how one swap affects the entire landscape. Early puzzles ease you in with small, two-piece shifts. Later challenges demand multi-tile choreography, where one misstep can send you scrambling to reset the board—a welcome, stress-free brain workout.
The heart of the game is switching between Abi and Ben on the fly. Abi’s agility lets her latch onto distant ledges and trigger delicate switches, while Ben’s brute strength hurls heavy tiles across chasms. During a late-night couch co-op test, my friend and I perfectly timed a dual-tile swap to unlock a hidden chamber—it felt like solving a fresh Lost Vikings puzzle together. Those wordless moments of teamwork are precisely what make this sequel shine.
Playdew nails that cozy vibe without sacrificing clever design. Soft pastel visuals and hand-sketched UI elements give the world a handcrafted feel, while the gentle piano-and-flute soundtrack wraps every puzzle in soothing ambiance. If you’ve ever lost hours to Unpacking’s tranquil pace or Baba Is You’s inventive brain-benders, you’ll feel right at home in Lost Twins 2’s unhurried yet stimulating environment.
At its core, Lost Twins 2 is a tale of sibling bonds. Abi and Ben’s relationship grows through subtle cutscenes and environmental storytelling—whether they’re sharing a laugh by a riverside puzzle or overcoming a tricky platform together. There’s no combat, no high-stakes pressure: just a heartfelt narrative that unfolds as you solve each brain teaser.
Cozy gaming is booming—titles like Spiritfarer and Dordogne lean into atmosphere over mechanics. Lost Twins 2 strikes a different chord by marrying purposeful puzzle design with a relaxing experience. Its tile-shifting core and sibling synergy aren’t just window dressing; they’re the engine driving every clever twist and hidden secret. In a crowded genre, this could set a fresh benchmark for puzzle-platformers in 2025.
While Playdew hasn’t confirmed post-launch content, I wouldn’t be surprised to see seasonal challenges or bonus puzzle packs. The intuitive level editor teased at Playdew’s panel hints at a vibrant modding scene—imagine trading mind-bending community levels or hosting local puzzle contests with friends.
Lost Twins 2 strikes the perfect balance of calm storytelling and satisfying mental gymnastics. From its dynamic tile-shifting puzzles to its serene art style and cooperative synergy, this sequel looks poised to enchant both longtime fans and newcomers. This August, I’ll be first in line, controller in hand, ready to lose myself in every meticulously crafted corner of this enchanting world.
