Lovecraft's Untold Stories 2

Визуал хорош. Идеи тоже. За исполнение - ...ну вы сами знаете.

Overall the game is a good addition to the franchise, however, its predecessor is much better. In the negative aspects of the game that I was able to observe, it was highlighted that the lack of multiple saves and occasional bugs hindered the game experience. It is necessary to add the possibility of creating several saves and saving the game, regarding the difficulty, it should be noted that it is a game for few people due to the high difficulty, apart from the issue of crashing in some game scenarios, but as a fan of the franchise, I say which is an average game.

首先画风就显得很廉价比一代像素风格差出老远 其次一键拾取范围实在太小不知道有什么用 高亮掉落物不能常驻 有些掉落物不开地图根本找不到在哪里 有些小怪伤害未免有点太高了 堆怪太多不用很努力很累就被堵到角落围殴死了 地图掉的垃圾太多而且前期不知道有什么用背包完全装不下

Well if you liked the first one - you'll for sure like this one. I enjoyed the first one despite its difficulty, and this one takes the formula and just takes it up a notch. It implements Lovecraftian lore pretty well, putting a lot of emphasis on your sanity, giving you interaction choices with various objects you can find - that can either give you resources, heal you, heal your sanity - or drain it. There's crafting for consumables and upgrades, there's grinding for resources, and there's a pretty crazy difficulty spike if you end up with an unfortunate RNG that gives you a "Haha ♥♥♥♥ you" room. But this is what actiony roguelites are. So... it isn't perfect, but imo its worth the money and the time.

Yeah, it's pretty terrible.

不如1一根

Good game apart from a couple issues. But you need to read the developer's guide if you want to give this game a fair chance. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2860219020&fbclid=IwAR3XuFRrHv7O_dnCXhl9c1L0WBVRQxmw78Mm2sOUjd6M46QJBrhpd-GC4hU It gets boring quick though, because the fighting mechanics are long and boring, there are still bugs, etc. If you like Lovecraft give it shot with 80% off during sale. 6.5/10

So, Lovecraft's Untold Stories 1 is a needlessly hard as nails, grueling, arcade-y, punishing twin stick shooter survival horror rpg. I think I hated it more than I liked it, but it was interesting, and the parts of it that were good (such as the writing) were genuinely incredible. Probably not worth the suffering to play it, but definitely memorable. Untold Stories 2 is in the same vein, but all its issues are different ones. The pace of the game is slower, the art is fantastic, you can get hit a little and recover from it, these are all good things. Unfortunately, environments are somehow even more cluttered, enemies spawn in even bigger numbers, you can still get one-tapped if a few attacks hit at the same time, movement is ponderous, dps is low, everything feels *incredibly* janky, and nothing is explained. The game doesn't tell you when it's saving. And it's an autosaver, so that's... uh... that's bad. I haven't hit any actual bugs, but the moment to moment gameplay *feels* like I should expect a bugfest. It's unbelievably easy to get stuck on terrain, or trapped in corners by mobs, or completely obscured by stuff in the foreground, and that's without the unexplained sanity system coloring and obstructing your screen. And sometimes you'll spawn in a new room that's got a mob of enemies right in front of your face and you're stuck in a pocket. The detective can dodge roll out. Hope you're playing him. There's also more grind in 2, and that's why I think I'm washing out of it. You have a hub area. You can farm crafting mats and consumable items. You can stockpile artifacts and unlock new crafting recipes and upgrade your gear. It all takes a dog-ton of materials, though, and actual resource gathering runs suck because of how bad the core movement feels and because of how limited your inventory space is. I think this is overall the more stable, polished, and playable-by-humans of the two Untold Stories games, but I'm still tentative on recommending it. The art being dope and the story being interesting isn't quite enough to paper over everything else feeling flat, bland, and frustrating. If you hunger for mysterious jogos, then yeah. These are those. But if you want something polished, maybe see if it's gotten another big balance patch since 9/28/23, the date of this review. With doubled inventory size, better weapon damage, and some sort of safety net to stop you from being one-tapped because you spawned in a corner-mob and someone threw a grenade, I think this could be genuinely fun, but it isn't yet. Edit: Apparently the game was WAY buggier on launch, with even slower movement (somehow) and even jankier object collision (somehow).

Game is still a complete buggy mess, had multiple runs where a store or something would freeze, wiping any progress. Icons not showing up, among other things. Just buy the first one, it's SOOO much better then this, so glad I got this junk on sale.

The first game was a buggy janky mess. But I loved it. It was an amazing albeit sometimes frustrating game. This one just sucks. I don't know what I'm supposed to do, and I wasn't able to get into it. Maybe I'll try again sometime, but it's just so much worse than the original that I can't bring myself to like it. And don't get me wrong the original was a mess.
