From Steam reviews

Review notes

Beholder 2 is worth a closer look if you want strong atmosphere, management, narrative mystery, and emotional story.

Best for players who want strong atmosphere, emotional story, body horror, and management.

Check more carefully if you dislike repetition or grind and unclear onboarding.

you get to work at three parts of the ministry appeals department, processing paperwork, and the cloning factory.
Automation
they did add new features but ones i felt clashed with what Pikmin is: Exploring, Time Management, and Puzzles.
Management
the game really feels like the original in vibe, atmosphere, and spirit.
