I couldn't find a reason to continue playing other than building and spending time with friends. The story is not as well-told as with the previous game, after traveling and exploring A LOT you find nothing. There are some awesome tools like the Pistol Rail, but there's something missing, it doesn't feel like there's any progression made at all, even after spending over 20 hours on the game. I enjoyed The Forest and got to the ending but this one feels like a chore and I will only play if I have nothing better to do.
