Darkest Dungeon 2 might be one of the worst sequels I have ever played. For some reason, the game wants to be Slay the Spire instead of an evolution of the previous game. Even if I don't mind it not being an actual sequel, I can't dismiss the current state of it.
>No Reyunald
>Pointless carriage flavor walking forward with nothing to do might as well change the game to dots walking upward on a map
>No watchtower early? good luck getting rng dropped into 50 encounters or roads that destroy your carriage
>Carriage broke? you will now fight with less than 1 character which doesn't even make sense because you have to kill ALL enemies to progress. You can't stall to escape when a character IS CLEARLY ACTIVELY REPAIRING THE VEHICLE.
>No proper explanation of candle upgrades. Game induces you to waste them with dogshit useless rng items/trinkets when later the game allows you to PERMANENTLY UPGRADE CHARACTERS with them, and even if you argue that was the stupidity of my part, devs having the audacity of making this awful reward even available when there's an actual use to the candles is just laughable.
>Game appears to want to focus on the character's backgrounds but doesn't deliver at all? At first, I thought a character story having gameplay on only 2 of the five levels was an early access thing, but then the game was released, and that was just it. It wasn't fascinating
>Abysmal UI, and everything was too convoluted to navigate for 0 reasons. It offers little to 0 explanation of the stats and items that show up. Having to scroll a in game wiki up and down the game, 50 pages of guides doesn't suddenly make it intuitive at all
> The stress system is somehow worse that the first entry. If enemies have horror, I hope you have enough stress-healing items and a stress-healer-focused character
> No Reynauld
Just don't say It's supposed to be unfair garbage or steep to learn the first game is 500 times more fair AND FUN than this shit. But HEY, I get it. It's still early access, and the Epic Games contract forced this fake full-game release. It's self-evident.
