Broken Reality 2000

Really good walking sim with puzzles and a zelda-like progression (for items). i really enjoyed the 1st game, and i felt like this game was pretty much more of the same so i rlly liked it too. i have juste three issues that weren't in the 1st here: - the area are too big / not compact enough : a lot of the regions feels like they could have been 33% smaller and it would've simply been better and we wouldn't have lost anything (the hub mall area is the worst for this) - Some of the areas felt less unique or creative when comapred to the 1st game : there is 2 mall, despite one being the old one and the second the newer one, i felt like this one lacked a more out there elvel like the underwater level from the 1st game was. - Finally i prefered how the levels we're seperated in the 1st game : in the 1st game, the levels felt the progression system where you'd unlock them after some likes and then get the item relating to it that would allow you to explore further everywhere. here, some region are unlocked in a similar way (for exemple, the mine) but alot of the times it is less clearly stated on where you need to go in order to progress (tho, considering the size of the map, it ain't actually that big of a deal) Still, it is an 8/10, there are still bugs, but seeing how the devs are actively doing daily updates gradually fixing them, i feel like it is disingenuine to consider them in this review knowing they most likely won't stay. i'd recommend this game if you want a chill unique game with an interesting world and fun progression system.

While I did have (some) fun playing this game, the bad really outweighed the good for me. The aesthetics of a lot of the environments, and the exploration and secrets were pretty good. But the decision to add these characters/subjects to the game, together with the many bugs and softlocks I enctountered completely ruined it for me. In the end it just did not capture what made the first game so special.

Its very fitting for the followup to Broken Reality to not live up to the first iteration. The movement is painfully slow, the level design is sprawling but uninteresting, and the vibe comes off as the shift from forum culture to socmed flattening everything out into the same empty feeling. I'd rather just replay the original again.

I really want to like this game, but it keeps randomly freezing on dialogue boxes. The first time it happened, I the game was freezing on a questgiver's dialogue, and I had to reinstall to fix it. I'll probably return to this after an update or bug patch, and give it a positive review... Right now, I'm not fond of the fact that I keep losing gametime to reloading saves.

Could use better signposting or at least an in-game hint system. Otherwise, a really enjoyable game that's far more expansive than I expected.

I had an absolute blast playing this game! I feel like both the first game and this one hit different parts of the nostalgia spectrum, the gameplay loop is different between each one for sure but I think if you loved the first game you're gonna have a great time with this one too! They absolutely nailed the early 2000s vibe with this one, and if anything playing this game made me realize just how much nostalgia I really carry for the 2000s. I can't recommend this game enough, try it out and see!

Old enough to know what Playstation Home was? Then yeah you'll get a kick out of this. It's a bit of a puzzle-y explore-y secret hunt-y type game - not the hardest or most complex, certainly not the longest, but it kept me engaged long enough to 100% it and it was a good time. I played the original back when it first released, and then heard that they were making this one... the day before it came out, so I fired up the original again to do another playthrough since I'd forgotten pretty much everything. With the first one fresh in my memory I can say that if you enjoyed Broken Reality then you will almost certainly enjoy Broken Reality 2000. Alright was THIS the right one??
