An exploration/mystery game where you investigate the solar system with your ship and a basic set of tools. You slowly gain information which doesn't really unlock anything, just gives you more knowledge about how things in the solar system work. Its a really satisfying experience of exploring planets and piecing together all the tidbits of information they give you to progress the overall narrative. Really enjoyable and immersive.

Was having fun with this, but even after this 2.0 patch I ran into game breaking bugs on the main quest.
Couldn't talk to the girl in the van in Disasterpiece, I had a couple of save files to try it a few different ways, but they all end up with that girl sitting in the van not talking to you. I also lost the use of the phone for no obvious reason, even though the objective of the other 'main quest' was to call someone and talk to them.
I guess its the new trend to pretend that this game is a bug free experience now, but my last 2 play sessions with this game have been just trying to get passed bugged main quests.

Its rare that I'm so let down by a sequel.
First of all the gameplay is pretty much exactly the same as the first one, maybe this is not a problem since the first one was very good? You would think so, but its simply just boring after a while.
The world itself is nice and fun to explore, but theres only so many times you can do the same fight.
Where this game really falls apart is the story. The characters are so bad that I just quit playing.
The relationship between Kratos and his son is tedious. Its like the writers said, lets make every interaction between them as annoying as possible and then they got to work.
The puzzles may as well not exist because someone in the game will tell you how to do it within a couple of minutes, god forbid you want to take your time and look around. Nope, puzzles will be spoiled.
There is a section where you only control Atreus, this part of the game is the beginning of the end. If you don't enjoy that part, the game is not for you.

The game starts off really good, but slowly the fun fades and my interest in the characters and story really start to decline as it goes on.
I really enjoyed the first half of the game, the puzzles and exploration are a really fun aspect to it and the story is a continuation of the first game and has lots of twists and turns.
For me the drawbacks really start with the length of the game. My quitting point was about 50% of the way through the story which at this point had already exceeded the playtime I had on the first game after completing it. In my opinion, the story does not keep you entertained long enough to make it to the full playthrough. There is rarely any break in the misery and its sorely needed.
With the story not keeping me hooked, the gameplay was what was left, but the combat in these type of games just tends to annoy me, so after 15 or more hours, I had to put it down.
Long story short, if this game was a similar length to the first one, I think I would have enjoyed it a lot.
