I just finished a 5 hour trial and... I won't be playing more. I left the first game thinking 'that was really well made but it feels more like a starting-off point, I think they can really knock it out next time by refining everything'.
Sadly it seems that they've not only focused on the lacklustre story, but haven't made enough meaningful changes to the gameplay to make this truly feel like anything more than 'more of the same'.
I wanted to see more of the interesting visuals of this world but they doubled down on the most generic parts (at least the raptor and weasel robot designs are great), and overall I'm leaving this feeling sad that they clearly thought what they had with the first game was as good as it's gonna get.
