Highlights & caveats
Review highlights and caveats
Puzzle Readability · Strong
Readability is way better
Cables, surfaces, rocks, and interactables usually point experimentation in the right direction.
Progression · Strong
Tools keep recontextualizing spaces
Pickaxe upgrades, cubes, Tesla tricks, and magnets make old rooms useful again.
Exploration · Strong
Compact world stays dense
Cagetown and the surrounding routes pack a lot of secrets into a manageable space.
Pacing · Strong
Pacing trims the drag
The follow-up keeps you moving between discoveries more cleanly than the first game.
Optional Content · Strong
Optional cleanup still bites
Postgame secrets and chest hunts stay satisfying once you want more friction.
Novelty · Mixed
It rarely surprises
The game feels more like a refined Supraland than a bold new spin on the formula.
Combat · Mixed
Combat is still filler
Better pacing does not turn the fights into a real selling point.
Quick take#
Supraland: Six Inches Under is not trying to reinvent Supraland. It is a cleaner, tighter version of the same first-person puzzle-exploration formula, and that is exactly what it needed to be.
What works#
Cagetown gives the follow-up a fun frame. The vertical toy society, class jokes, and compact spaces are silly, readable, and useful for level design. More importantly, puzzle readability is better. Gates, cables, surfaces, rocks, and tools usually give you enough information to start experimenting without reaching for a guide.
Tool progression still carries the game. Pickaxe upgrades, the throwable pickaxe, the Tesla gun, the Force Cube, the Magnetic Buckle, and traversal tricks keep changing how old rooms read. Exploration stays dense with secrets, chests, and postgame routes.
Where it slips#
It is less surprising than the first Supraland, so the whole thing feels more like version 1.5 than a bold sequel. Combat remains basic, and a few optional secrets still depend more on persistence than on clever clues.
Who it's for#
Play it if you want more Supraland with better pacing and clearer puzzle reads. Treat it like the refined version of the first game, not a reinvention, and keep checking old rooms when a new tool changes the rules. If you want novelty or combat depth, the improvements will feel too incremental.
