Episode two makes things better by giving your choices more impact than the beginning. Decisions affect how other characters (rat, zebra, llama and squirrel are my favorites) react to you and how the story ends, while keeping the same funny chemistry between the leads. Overall, it feels more polished and more rewarding to play.
Ich fand diesen Teil deutlich besser, als sein Vorgänger. Das Abenteuer steckt voller humorvoller Szenen, ohne langweilig zu werden. Außerdem wirken die Charaktere lebendig und machen jede Begegnung spannend und witzig zugleich. Dabei bleibt genug Raum, um eigene Entscheidungen zu treffen und klug zu überlegen, wie man sich aus kniffligen Situationen befreit. Leider ist die Spiellänge ziemlich kurz.. 7/10
Druhý díl této hry byl stejně zábavný jako první. Manipulace se zvířaty, trocha gamblingu a nově i řídící minihra? Akorát škoda, že je hra tak krátká, teď musím čekat na další dávku herních houbiček od Dinga.
К сожалению,продалжения не будет :С Сама игра,видно что разрабатывалась с меньшим бюджетом. Анимаций меньше,локаций тоже да и почему-то более неможно пропускать диалоги на "N" - ачивки подождут,ибо пепепроходить игру я не хочу :С Чего могу сказать по итогам?По скидке берите,хоть сия часть хуже первой,но она стоит вашего времени. Да и много его она не украдёт,около полутора часа всего-то. Надеюсь мы всё-таки увидим продолжение,так как персонажи мне правда нравятся :'C
Tierlist C - Purchased Scheming Through The Zombie Apocalypse: Caged continues right after The Beginning, following Henry and Larry as they join the Scavenge Guild and keep looting abandoned stores by sending others to do the risky work. The mechanics are mostly the same as before, though there’s a nice addition — you can now drive a car and avoid road obstacles, which adds a bit of variety since crashing can make you lose items. The graphics remain consistent with the first game: simple but polished, with more characters and new locations that make the world feel slightly bigger. Story-wise, I started to feel bored midway through because the events tend to loop — the duo meets different animals, but the overall structure repeats. Still, I pushed through just to see the ending. Overall, this game is worth picking up only during a sale, as buying both chapters at full price isn’t really justified. If you’re a completionist, be ready to play it twice for 100% achievements, but for casual players, one playthrough is probably enough.
Digital trash, not a game
Достойное продолжение первой игры, уморительная история, логически развивающая персонажей первой игры. В отзывах поговаривают, что продолжения не будет - жалко, если так, но в любом случае разработчикам желаю успехов, они сделали нечто очень забавное.
很有意思,但难道我真的要再等另一个六年才能玩到下一部吗,这太久了
the same as episode 1 , no special
