Honestly, don't make the same mistake I did. I played over 3500 hours to tell you: Don't buy this game.
It's been around 6 years since I first supported this game. After silly management decisions (latest edition fiasco, arena standalone), weird game design choices (PVE mode always online), laggy servers despite constant improvements and rampant ignorance or incompetence regarding cheating, botting, exploiting and RMT leaves me with no choice but to give this 1 star, I do not recommend it: the experience is simply miserable and the game leans too much into being a second day job. Don't give them money unless you absolutely love having your wallet wrung and being ball busted.

Very unfortunate that EFT has some ideas that can really make it a good game on paper and maybe even in reality, but with it leaning heavily on all the negative aspects of MMOs, it simply isn't good currently.

What does make it good is getting SPT & FIKA. Funnily enough, Tarkov with mods (not even many, I've been running only realism and sain I think) is closer to the vision the game had initially. And you can play with friends as well, if you got any. I simply regret not trying this much, much earlier.

The devs have already asked for a lot and barely delivered what they promised: PMC faction karma missng, lockpicking still isn't in, you still can't escape Tarkov, 30% of skills still missing, game is wiping progress constantly and the biggest feature aka open world still out of reach.
Most of the community shelled over 100 bucks for their copy (me included...), asking for more is simply insulting. Don't trust their silver tongued con man; this game will most likely die shortly after release, along with its servers.

Solid sequel.

Having experienced La-Mulana 1, I wished I could do it again, but blind.
My wish was somewhat granted, by the fact that La-Mulana 2 existed.

Embarking on La-Mulana 2 I did what I should've done from the very start in the first La-Mulana: take notes. Boy does it pay off to do that from the beginning :D

Overall the game was very enjoyable, and had a lot of pluses over the first game, especially in the esoteric text department.
Lots of traversal options are available from pretty early on, especially coming from the first game, this is very much appreciated.
The puzzle difficulty overall was lower, not sure if because the text isn't as esoteric anymore (English text is now comprehensible!) or on purpose, especially with many NPCs literally telling you what to do this time around.
This game had considerably more bosses though, some of which were really damn annoying, and some platforming sections that really try to get on your nerves by kicking you back to the beginning from taking one hit or making one mistake.

The plot and dialogue is rather humorous, especially the crystal skull texts. I feel like this one went a bit too far into the wacky side compared to the first game, which kind of gave a bit of serious/solemn vibe from time to time.

In conclusion if you are looking to scratch the itch that La-Mulana gave you, the sequel is a solid choice.

!!! CURRY STANK !!!

Phenomenal visual novel.
Definitely yet another best-enjoyed-blind kind of game and I'm all in for it. "There are no wrong decisions, only fresh perspectives."

The narrative was really good. Very much enjoyed my moments with Him, and Her. Great characterization all over. Dialogue was all over like a roller coaster, in a truly good way: wham-y, serious, comedic, daunting; the voice-overs augment it well. Played it mostly on auto.
Really liked the ending sequence and was quite something I did not expect.

The art was simple, but that simplicity really served the delivery of the story very well. Some segments amused me, others deeply unsettled me while some really sold me on the gravity of the situation.

In conclusion, this is a great game. If you are into more nonstandard VNs or want an unique experience in gaming, definitely check this one out.

And don't forget: "You're on a path in the woods. At the end of that path is a cabin. And in the basement of that cabin is a princess. You're here to slay her."
