First Reigns game I have played from the studio. I wasn't expecting an over arching story line. That was a lovely surprise.

Some situations do still carry over after death. You get to keep all your tools after death, but lose them if you reset.

You're balancing your stats; if any get too high or too low, you die. I enjoyed the humor. Getting all the achievements was less fun because of RNG. But damn I wanted that Steam ribbon. I am interested in the other Reigns games now.

Definitely better than the one. Improved and more varied despite the fact that the gameplay framework remained the same.

I really enjoy this format! The writing is a lot of fun and a lot of unpredictable twists. I probably have some more left to see.

It's better than the first one, in particular the relic system being able to prolong your reign is fun. The core puzzle feels solveable also, unlike the first game where it was very much a "how was i supposed to figure that all out start to finish"

100% recommended for loosing your sanity.

Had some fun with it, but did not get engaged in the long run. Cool story-telling mechanics that felt overshadowed by a sense of not having very much real control over what happens throughout.
