Description
Special Edition includes the soundtrack.

Follow a powerful Lynx through vast open landscapes. Give birth to your cubs, raise and strengthen them by mastering your skills for hunting prey. Explore the wild beauty of nature and do everything possible to prepare your family for the vicious entities dwelling on the cold tundra.

Shelter 2 portraits a mother lynx and her life cycle, starting as a pregnant animal preparing her den for the coming litter, giving birth, and continuing in to a journey of parenthood where nurturing her cubs is paramount for survival. The more you feed the stronger you and your cubs will become, and failing to find food will lead to dire consequences. To avoid starvation there are many features to master, such as different types of movements, jumps and techniques for hunting prey. Besides finding food you must make sure to have a good den, see that your cubs drink water from nearby rivers, and make sure to call them close when they wander to far away.
  • In Shelter 2 you get to play as a powerful predator – The Lynx.
  • You can collect bone trophies of all the prey you kill. You can also collect rare items found in the wilderness.
  • The world is a vast open nature which you can explore and return to. You will always have a base in center of the world – Your den.

memorable experience, but with flaws

Visual 5/5 amazing artistic style, making exploration rewarding in itself Audio 5/5 great soundtrack, and overall sound Gameplay 3/5 many flaws... forgivable flaws, but really too many to bother listing them Summary: a game which could to had been absolutely extraordinary, but, unfortunately, it is failing in several aspects of gameplay....

Less than 10 minutes on my hard disk

Miserable graphics, poor controls, no charm.

Fails at whatever it's trying to do

This game feels very, very amateur. They made the movement somehow both slippery and stiff at the same time, you keep moving for a second or so after you let go of the key and then just instantly stop. The art style isn't really helping anything, the shading is pretty standard, but so everything just has these weird messy lines all over them. Also, within the first 10 minutes of the game I ended up out of bounds by accidentally jumping up an invisible wall. I think this would work better as a $2 mobile game than a full $22 PC release.

Artsy-Fartsy or Corny??

Make up your own mind about the graphics, but it definitely detracts from the immersive environment that these games are intended to give. I've seen them compared to offering an Avatar type experience, and that's probably the best way to view this specific sub-genre of game. I actually hate to give this game such a low rating, but considering the ridiculous asking price, most people are probably visiting this page and wondering WHY there are no reviews. That's why. It's over priced for the experience that it offers. Check out the free version of WolfQuest for a much better experience. I actually can't help but wonder about HOW this game made it to GoG before WolfQuest did.
