Glad to see that the devs learn from mistakes from first game. Away with dumb no save and lifes system. I was positively surprised there was an achievement for beating a level without saving, which says lots positive about level flow when you forget to save. Some drawbacks: Loading, loads and loads of loading. What the hell? This even ain't Crysis, not even Far Cry qua graphics, what do you load that long? Once the level is loaded, no complaints. Levels are imho too big and overcomplicated, no logic in them besides that "must be huge and labirynthine". But that is my pet peeve.
OK shooter, spells and upgrades are a nice touch. I still have to try a spellcaster though, there seems to be very limited amount of points available. -1 star for being unable to save between levels and being forced to do a 4 levels marathons when you would like a quick shootout. This is devs being lazy.
Where do I begin? The game is dated and it shows. And it still is an enjoyable hack&slash heavily Diablo inspired. It's getting repetitive towards the end and lacks some QoL we take now for granted - but a good way to kill an hour or two. And it lets you save anywhere ;-)
I have logged more than 140 hours in this game and still keep on playing. Good for some mindless looter shooter fun.
5 hours plaing is way too little, but for me - a beginner with D&D - this game is incredibly absorbing.
A simple, linear shooter and yet there is something in it that I keep on playing it repeatedly.
Talos is my witness, one day I will finish the main qu.... oh, what's in that cave?
I can understand that this seems to be a one persons project, so lots can be forgiven. However, the game tries to cram too many things into those few hours of gameplay. + visuals and general atmosphere. Game looks good. + simple puzzles, but I like it that way. - lack of optimization, it cooks my PC like it did some Bitcoin mining on the side. - badly executed "combat" and "run, the monster's chasing" sections. If the game simply stayed a walking/puzzle game, it would be really good IMHO. But the dev just HAD to insert some invisible-walls run away trial and error sections. And I really do not want to start on the quality of combat.
