About the game

Several years have passed since the original How to Survive events on Los Riscos’ archipelago. Now the local infection has turned into a worldwide pandemic. Everyone around the world, groups of people or lone wolves, try to survive one more day among the infected, attempting to recover a semblance of normal life. You find yourself in Louisiana and your survival chance starts by building a safe camp and becoming a skilled survivalist.
Find water, food and shelter and talk to the unconventional locals to make your way around.

An eccentric masked stranger offers you help? Sure, sounds way better than zombies!

• Multiplayer is here! You can invite up to 16 players to access your camp and 4 of you can play simultaneously online

- Local coop : up to 4 player simultaneously on the same PC

- Players in local Coop can join an online game (i.e. 16 players can play simultaneously)

• Teamwork: all players can contribute to a bigger, better camp and can perform co-op actions and strategies.

• New improved camera follows your character, allowing you to zoom in and out on the fly!

• New randomized environments: from the unforgiving Mississippi Delta bayous to the abandoned streets of New Orleans’ French Quarter.

• Create your own character: learn new and different skills to specialize as you level up and equip with scavenged and handcrafted armor, tools and weapons.

• A new deeper crafting system will allow you to use items and materials to create hundreds of items, tools and weapons to upgrade your character and your base camp.

• You are an expert in survival ? You want real challenges ? Elite quests are made for you !
In this special quest type, you have only one try to reach your objective. If you die, you will directly be sent back to camp and you’ll have to deal with the judgemental look of your friends...

• Set-up, upgrade and protect your camp as you want: choose from a wide upgradeable variety of traps, barricades, obstacle and workshops that will provide you new recipes and allow you to create more materials and items.

• Meet new survivors by creating a public camp and use your special private chest to keep safe your precious objects.

• You can now kill zombies in a cooler way thanks to the finish moves and gory effects !

• Watch your hunger and your thirst if you want to be capable of fighting zombies.

[h1] [i] [b] The bare minimum [/b] [/i] [/h1] How to Survive 2 is a disappointing sequel, plain and simple. While it starts on a somewhat promising note, it very quickly devolves into this never-ending, soul-wrenchingly grindy slop. It is one of those games from the survival genre that people often (rightfully so) meme on - ZOMBIE! SURVIVAL! CRAFTING! OPEN WORLD! (EARLY ACCESS!) All keywords which, when combined together, often result in a concoction of sh*tty game elements slapped together in laziest way imaginable for the sole purpose of the developer making a few bucks and then moving on. [h1] [i] I've already told you how dangerous it is if you don't drink or eat when you're in hostile terrritory... But there's something else that's at least as dangerous: negative thinking and a [u] lack of prospects! [/u] [/i] [/h1] Ever since the start of the game, it will be clear to you that it does not really want to be taken too seriously as evidenced by the jovial narrator, Kovac. However, just like it does not work in his case, so it doesn't when it comes to the game as a whole. You start with a few interesting premises: 1) building your own base and crafting your own items, 2) exploring instance-based hand-crafted areas and 3) possibly bringing it others to assist you. However, you very quickly realize that the core gameplay loop stops being fun after about 2-3 missions. You will always use the same exact animations to kill zombies with no real variation, you will perpetually be locked in this unending cycle of "gather-craft-gather again" which can be acceptable, if that core loop FEELS good but it simply doesn't. Couple that with the developers' lack of interest in providing even basic game settings (no graphics options for you), you will very swiftly understand that How to Survive 2 is nothing but a generic and boring slop that provides nothing new to the genre and that you can be very comfortable skipping.

🎮 Minha opinião sobre How to Survive 2! 👉 Um jogo muito divertido de jogar, mesmo com alguns bugs e defeitos! Com um personagem icônico presente nos dois jogos o ''Kovac'', que é um narcisista, psicopata e lembra até aquele branquelo de bigodinho curto das antigas... Literalmente! Uma dica: não confie nele. Se você jogou How to Survive 1, sabe exatamente de quem eu estou falando! KKKKKKK 😆 Bom vamos ao que interessa... ---------------------------------------------------------------- 🧭 Jogabilidade e Câmera ======================= 📷 Câmera de cima (top-down), como no primeiro jogo, mas com: Novos ângulos Possibilidade de aproximar a visão do personagem Minimapa tipo GPS na tela 🎨 Gráficos: ======================= Gráficos simples e bem limitados Muito serrilhado visível, com pouca configuração disponível no menu. Visual semelhante ao How to Survive 1 🔫 Armas e Combate ======================= HTS 1 tinha bem mais armas e variedade: Tipo o Boomerang, serra elétrica, shotgun caseira de fogo... 👌 Uso de barcos e asa-delta pra se locomover em agumas regiões no mapa, no 2 o uso do esgoto é basicamente a mesma coisa. 😄 Ainda assim, o 2 oferece formas variadas de combate e craft: Variedades de Armas de fogo, melee's, muniçãoes, armadilhas e minas Tipos de zumbis variados pra enfrentar, só senti falta daqueles zombies gigantes do HTS 1, mas tem uns chefões que são bacanas em algumas missões! 🏗️ Construção e Crafting ==================== Dá pra montar sua própria base no meio da floresta! Fortaleça estruturas para liberar: - Novas armas 🪓 - Armaduras 🛡️ - Tipos diferentes de munição 🔫 - Munições e Flechas 💥 E a grande variedade de muniçôes: - comum, perfurante, explosiva 🧨 - Flechas também existem as: comuns, explosivas, ponta de aço, prata etc. 🏹 🧍‍♂️ Customização ============== Bem limitada, com os seguintes aspectos: Só dá pra trocar entre 3 tipos de personagens Poucas opções de camisas, calças e sapatos Barba e cabelo? Só uns 3 tipos... triste kkkkk, parecendo as customizações do ''Mta Sa'' Na minha humilde opinião, prefiro muito aquela seleção de personagem com x habilidades do HT1 🐞 Bugs e IA ========== Vários bugs em IA de NPCs e algumas missões Algumas fases têm falta de informações, deixando o jogador perdido Missões repetitivas: buscar item, levar item, matar zumbis Multiplayer dá pra se divertir e rachar o bico com altos bugs e os zombies diversivicados. Jogue solo e tire boas horas pra passar seu tempo, o que não falta são missões e oportunidade de loot. Ideal pra quem curte sobrevivência com câmera de cima (estilo Project Zomboid, HumanitZ etc.) 😄 Mesmo com falhas, é meio ruim que chega a ser divertido! 🧮 Nota final: 7/10 =============== ⚖️ Um bom passatempo, com potencial 🎮 Recomendo pra quem curte o estilo ----------------------------------------------------- ⚠️ Observações de bugs em algumas missões:⚠️ 📍 Missão "Carnaval Macabro" ➡️ Finaliza ela interagindo com o telefone na última casa na parte de cima à direita do mapa. 🎯 Dica: está na cama, o walkie talk com o “Rei da Festa”. 📦 Missão da Leslie ("O Entregador") ➡️ Ao colocar as caixas no caminhão, posicione 2 de cada lado (2 esquerda + 2 direita) para funcionar corretamente. 💢 Pode bugar se posicionar fora do "jeito certo".
