"Estranged: The Departure", formerly known as "Estranged: Act II" is a slow paced story driven shooter.
You play as the stranded fisher from Act 1 (available for free).

Do you need to play Act 1? I recommend it.
This game enhances the story even more, but opens more questions and the end is really unsatisfying. I hope a third part is planned.

The visuals of this game are pretty good, as you can except from an UE4 game. Only the few underwater sections are looking horrible.

Most of the game is a mix of solving smaller puzzles on your way. I only got stuck twice for a few more minutes.
From time to time there is a shooting section. Just headshot your enemy and your good to go. The whole story took me about two hours and a few minutes.

As an addition you get two shorter stories and they are very short.

"Trainwreck" is about escaping from a trainwreck and shoot three enemies. Takes about two minutes.

"Waterfront" is more like a told story about a man who seems to be in coma. At least I think he is. Takes about three minutes.
