talvez um dia eu volte se conseguir jogar com uns amigos e qnd tiver finalziado o jogo
mas n me pegou tanto como o primeiro

Very solid game and gameplay big improvement on the first, however, the ending left me wanting more.

this game i think was a mess in a lot of ways, but it is good to play with a friend you don't talk to that often. the ending had us howling at how fucking stupid it was. who was that guy? who was the other guy? why is kelvin here, he looks so good in his pink pajamas. why are they fighting? who is this guy's dad?

it was pretty unfortunate too that after the first couple of hours, there was little tension on the game. base building was almost entirely unnecessary, with nothing in the world threating your movement, travel was little but a time suck. the emergent gameplay aspects of a game you'd want to see from a survival game with a lot of systems are almost nonexistent. at no point did it drive home the fantasy of "having to survive in a hostile world". but whatever, thats ok.

the only real improvement from the first game is the building imo. the story is such a disappointment, it's really just a string of disjointed pieces and none of the main questions really get answered. a lot of intriguing elements are introduced that aren't really expanded upon, but it's also pretty clear they're gearing up for a third game given how it ends.

a little more fun with friends than the last one
