    No matter if you win or lose in a run, this game keeps you pumped up. There's soo much that's happening on the screen that you have to always stay vigilant. Its just one of those games that make you want to do just one more run, until you get it right, and that's why I love playing it!

    Is there still a time pressure via something akin to the Ghost ?

    The ghost is back albeit it comes 30 seconds later than previously. There's also a jar with a diamond on each level that spawns a ghost if you smash it.

    @Ganjarelli another spoiler If you somehow last long enough against the 2 split ghosts they will split again into 4 total faster ghosts. Dev's really don't want easy high money runs

    Maybe there is, but I'm surprised they didn't lean a bit harder into sci-fi considering they're on the moon now.

    The first stage is so bad, it makes me not want to play anymore. I never trust reviews because they never pay attention to the glaring flaws the game has during the first stage

    I don't know how you can think that if you enjoyed the first. It's pretty much the exact same starting level with a few more enemies and of course, TORKEYS. I also strongly disagree.

    morgan2010nucka I don’t really want to type this all out again, I’ve done it so many times, but I’ll do it once more before I bury this game in its coffin 1-1: The first stage has nothing interesting guaranteed, crates are too scarce and some of the placements force you to use your resources if you want to find out what’s in it. You either grab the dog and/or the ghost jar and get out of there 1-2/1-3: 100% chance of there being a shop, as well as the turkey quest (which is never worth doing) and the golden chest, which you can longer carry the chest with you, forcing you to often burn a couple ropes just to get it. It upsets the pacing of the game a lot, which was never really a thing in the first game since you could carry both 1-4: Near identical terrain generation every single time, boring miniboss fight The Dwelling is way too formulaic, you have the same checklist to every single time you restart, and that is not something the mines had previously. You were simply left to get the chest and then deal with whatever threats the mines had before you move on; it was very simple and effective, which is exactly what a first stage should be imo. The difficulty spike that came after was brutal and felt well placed. The Dwelling feels busier than most stages later in the game As for the enemies, while they’re no longer a challenge to beat, have way too much health. Moles especially are an issue here because if you can’t be bothered to throw a vase at it 2 more times, it’ll just work its way back to you in an attempt to slow you down even more when you’d rather just be getting your run started On top of all of this, the game now only has 1 song to accompany you, and the dynamic aspect has proven itself to mean absolutely nothing considering how repetitive the song seems to get in 15 minutes In short, the mines was very simple but still proved to be an obstacle for new players to overcome, and for veterans to blitz through and get their real run started. The Dwelling is too in your face and has ramped up obstacles and soft-locking terrain generation I assure you, with hundreds of hours in the first game, and 50 in the second, tha the first areas share ONLY a similar aesthetic theme

    Lil Al McCarthy Fair enough, I’m glad you can find enjoyment out of it. Derek said he’s considering (and testing) some changes mostly to the first stage, so I’d like to believe there really are issues with it that are being addressed. I wonder what he’ll come up with?

    Wow they hire just anyone to write/read these reviews don't they? Probably helps to get the same person who wrote it, to read it or at least make sure they understand what they're reading because this person doesn't, then again the script isn't any better. Do some research next time, learn how to pronounce words before you decide to use them in a professional review. but yeah sure pcgamer sure is the 'global authority' on pc games.
