So I was so excited to play this after playing part 1 (Dust). I got addicted with this too. I completed it in 3 hours and 20 minutes, in one sitting! Buuuut, I’m also a bit disappointed. It has some improvements but there are some new problems and there are problems that weren’t fixed from Dust. Let’s start with the positives. The game seems to explain more. There are more in-game hints and tutorials. There are some new traps, some weapons have new skills that cost AP, you can also do side quests and you can enter caves where the timer doesn’t go past 2 hours. With the latter, you don’t have to worry about returning to your base as much, you can explore and grind for a bit. Unfortunately, the tutorials still feel lacking. The manual explains what some traps do but not all. There is a flashlight that I forgot about using except for around camp. The dungeons where too dark. It annoyed me but looking back on it, I wonder if the flashlights would have helped. I’ve done a few days and I didn’t know I had to hit submit in the quests menu to get my rewards. I thought you get them automatically. The game has some weird and annoying bugs where your character can get stuck and doesn’t move, the same enemy that you kill easily suddenly hardly gets damaged and it ends up killing you, when you want to run away and your character keeps attacking and therefore not listening to your commands, the repair option doesn’t always seem to work etc. I don’t remember if Dust had this or as bad, but it’s apparent here. This game too ends after 7 days (like Dust) and it felt like it ended too quickly. You know, I would have liked not having such a strict timer. I would have liked being able to explore more, upgrade things fully, do all the side quests etc. With the side quests, if a day passes and you didn’t complete some, then they’re gone and new side quests are added. I would have liked keeping my progress for them and unlocking new ones after being done with the current ones. At the end of the day, it’s a decent enough game. It just feels like there’s potential for soooo much more that we’re not going to experience unfortunately.
