[h1]Can you find all the ladybugs (and aphids)? XD[/h1]
[h2]Introduction[/h2]
[i]I commissioned some ladybugs 2[/i] is a hidden object game developed by Follow the fun and published by I commissioned some series. It is the second game in the [i]I commissioned some ladybugs[/i] series as well as a part of the huge [i]I commissioned some[/i] series. You're given 20 artwork pieces, and each one has a set number of ladybugs and aphids. The objective is to find all of the insects, and you do so by clicking on them. You can zoom in and out of scenes by scrolling the mouse wheel, and pressing the H button on the keyboard will give you an arrow to show you where those elusive insects are hiding. Plenty of Steam achievements are present, but they won't count towards a user's global total until the game is out of "profile features limited".
[h2]Review[/h2]
Ever since one of my friends introduced me to my first [i]I commissioned some[/i] game, I've enjoyed the series a lot. After having played and reviewed [i]I commissioned some ladybugs[/i] (check out my review of it [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/skyeraye/recommended/2328160?snr=1_5_9__402]here[/url]), that same friend gifted me a copy of this game. ^^
The gameplay is just as enjoyable here as in the first game. I found it pretty easy to find all the ladybugs and aphids. It was only with a couple of darker colored backgrounds that I struggled a bit to find a couple, but it was still doable. Having a counter at the top to indicate how many insects you need to find helps, and the unlimited hint function is a positive. You can play at your own pace and relax. I didn't encounter any technical difficulties, and I was able to obtain all of the achievements.
In regards to the art, it is just as gorgeous as in the first game. I love the hand drawn style that these backgrounds have, giving them that soft, slightly whimsical feeling. The colors are used well, and they never feel overly bright. I like the new locations, and it was difficult to choose which ones were my favorites, but I did my best. ^^

With the music, gosh, I enjoyed listening to the tracks. They give off a relaxing but emotional vibe at the same time. The music really immerses you into this world, and you can relax, playing the game at your own pace while searching for all those insects. Also, I like the sound effects when you click on an insect. They're simple and they suffice to let you know when you successfully find an item.
[h2]Conclusion[/h2]
Would I recommend [i]I commissioned some ladybugs 2[/i]? If you enjoy hidden object games, especially are a fan of the [i]I commissioned some[/i] series, want a game which has multiple scenes to find objects, and/or want those Steam achievements, then it's totally worth taking a look. At the asking price, I feel like it's about worth it, what with the amount of art and music put into the game, despite that the total gameplay time may be on the short side if you're a veteran of this genre. Of course, you can wait for a sale, and it's in a few Steam bundles. At any rate, I totally enjoyed this game, as I wanted to play a relaxing HOG and I'm currently in the mood to play ones that aren't all cat-themed (although I like them, too). ^^
