The first and third Columns titles are even available as part of the Sega Genesis Classics collection on the Switch. While M2’s emulation is better, with the original Columns feeling more responsive in this SEGA AGES release after a direct comparison, the difference is extremely minor and if I wasn’t playing one right after the other, I doubt I’d notice.

If it seems like I don’t have much to say about Columns II: The Voyage Through Time. That’s because, well, I really don't. This is a perfectly average, competent, fun puzzle game that was very fun to play for a few hours and nothing more beyond that. It doesn’t revolutionize the puzzle genre in any way, but it was a good experience while it lasted. And like with any Sega Ages title, the added content makes this the best version of the game yet.

Though both One and Three of the trilogy have been widely available for a considerable time, Columns II is likely the most unique of the trio, and now upon a western release offers not only the original in all its splendour but a fun puzzler sequel to its own merit. Enjoyable for curious puzzler newcomers and genre veterans alike, even if a little simplistic for the latter crowd.
