I was initially skeptical that a sequel to I wanna be the Kazakhstan coming out so soon after the original would manage to live up to the brilliance of the original but this game managed to exceed my expectations. I Wanna Be The Kazakhstan 2: The Box is a surreal adventure experience that picks up where the first game left off and continues in ways you could never predict. It is significantly shorter than the original but I don't see this as an issue as I enjoyed it while it lasted.
The meaning of this instalment was harder for me to parse this time but I have tried my best to interpret it:
Where stages begin and end in this game is more nebulous than the first Kazakhstan so I will discuss parts of the game as they appear.
The game begins with a frightening encounter with the final boss of Kazakhstan 1. The reappearance of this entity has thrown me for a loop and has made me reconsider what it represents. My first hunch is that this represents a reoccurring problem the kid must focus on to completely get rid of.
The kid then goes through a mysterious white area with dangerous red blocks which leads him to the lab. The lab contains diagrams for the kid to traverse and puzzles to solve. I believe this represents to kid getting a STEM education after finding philosophical enlightenment in the first game and the struggles that come with adapting to this unfamiliar environment.
After going through the lab, the kid goes up against the entity once again. Now that the kid is educated both scientifically and philosophically, he is able to defeat it. A scene afterwards in the city confirms his mastery over the entity and the kid continues his journey.
Next the kid enters an area devoid of gravity and can move in straight lines in any directions. I believe this represents the kid's determination on his goal, no longer stopping to reflect and simply moving forward without stopping. Later in the stage the kid moves slower but still keeps moving. Eventually, the kid encounters Prince Edward Island, another Canadian province and uses his determination to defeat it.
Once PEI is defeated, the kid realizes that he is still not ready to achieve his goal and has a mental dilemma on what to do next. This is represented in the next section that takes the form of a maze in which two evil faces hidden (representing his self-doubt) in the labyrinth must be defeated to continue. After completing the maze, the kid encounters New Brunswick and uses his swimming ability to defeat it.
Once the kid overcomes his mental dilemma, he decides to train some more. He begins by meditating under the stars (represented by the star waiting room) and then proceeds to train his body physically by doing multiple laps through repeated jumps. Once he completes his training he enters a new lab. This time, the lessons of the lab are unnecessary as he has already trained himself more than capable of moving forward. He reaches the orb he encountered earlier in the game and shatters it, seeing the world finally for what it really is. He can now fight the title screen of Kazakhstan 1, demonstrating that he is willing to leave the past of the false world behind. The story leaves off there...
An overall enjoyable abstract adventure game that both fans and haters of the original can maybe possibly enjoy! Would recommend!

OK hai so My name is boxxy and um it's been a while since I made a new video. So I decided that because of recent events that I could make a new videooo. And um so yeah so let's just start off by getting a couple things straight. I don't do drugs... mm mmh! No, I know that you all think that I do drugs, but, I don't, actually. And I actually don't have ADD either, ahh hehehe, which is funny to me. Ummmm yeah. And then another one would be ummm. I provided you with a couple different pictures. Ummmm ahh such as like, like the one where I'm like mmm and it says, "I saw watchoo did there!" And like and and then like you peoples were all like, "YOU IS TROLLIN!" and I was like "I AM NOT TROLLING!! I AM BOXXY YOU SEE! Mm!" And like um and so then ahh there was another one where I was like, "Mmm," and um I don't have any eyeliner on, which you edited a couple of different times. And then there was the one where I held up a sign and it said "boxxy plus pocky equals equals LOOOVE," and that's true, it's a very true statement, I love her. And umm and then uhh bup bup buhbuh, OH there was another one that um, that I actually didn't possst... but umm... it's out there... cuz uh some of you guys found it, and I'm all like crafty. And uhm and it's one where I like have a sign and I'm like "ihh" and it says several different things such as like I love mmmchan, and stuff and umm it actually never said that, it said I love moochan, which is one of my old gaia buddies, uhh oh, but the way, I'm not a gaiafag anymore, I moved on to bigger and better things, such as umm, things that I mentioned in another video that got me in trouble in the first place, hah! Ahh, trolls! Trolls, this is my only account and it's boxxybabee with two e's and other people, like Boxxyakamoldybread -- she's a failure Troll! TRAWLL! I can't believe you guys believe that! Who actually talks like that?! Not ME! Umm... and, so, yeah, and um, let's see here. And then, um, um I was in a thread and uh this guy was like, "boxxy, I would sing Hey Jude to you, like in Across the Universe." And I was like, "I love that movie!" Because I do! Have you ever seen that movie? It's like AMAZING, it's like BEATLES and like um, and so then um I uh I just wanted to say to that kid who wanted to watch Across the Universe with me uh that I love you, and I want to hold your hand. And also um, my husband, Sheldon, "hello! Mmm!" And, and uh Brandon, I guess, I don't even know who you are, exactly. Uhbububuuhh, my hair got longer, you guys. I'm actually thinking about cutting it... I dunno. But umm, let's see here ahh, soo, I had a lot of replies from like my videos. Or, not a lot a guess, that's a little... much I guess. But um, this one kid, uh he remixed a lot of my videos, and they were so cool, and his name was gastricpenguin... and he was SO funny. He like mixed it and stuff and hehe, and I was like "ohhho" the first time I saw it. I was. Oh my god I had a heart attack, I was like oh my god. And um, uh, mmm, I dunno. What else is there to say. Steve, Steve, the guy who sat for like six minutes straight addressing me in a serious tone? Uh, thank you, I suppose. Um, but uh yeah, this, I don't think I should answer. What if I told you it would ruin the mystique, you guys? Umm, and then um, bububuh, I dunno, really, huh. I haven't worn makeup in a really long time you guys, actually. Um, because I stopped wearing it, because it's a really big pain the butt to apply every single morning. And I'm like urr hurr, and um and now I'm just like mascera and I'm good to go. And um yeah and so I love you guys, a lot. I really like, rawrawrawr status, like seriously like rawr and um I think that's about it. Byeee.
