About
Explore nature as a lynx and raise your cubs in the brutal, but beautiful, tundra.
Be on your guard, because you are both predator and prey. Feed your cubs and keep them safe and enjoy those precious moments of peace and tranquillity whenever you can. But also remember that your own survival is the only thing that will guarantee theirs.
Shelter 2 features more elaborate gameplay features than its predecessor and includes gameplay features such as stamina, movements, jumps and a variety of prey to hunt. Besides hunting skills, there are also maternal features such as calling the cubs closer, sniffing out prey, drinking water from rivers and lifting and carrying your cubs from harm’s way.
A vast wilderness awaits
The environments in Shelter 2 are significantly much larger than those in its predecessor, offering more freedom than ever before and allowing you to find favourite spots in which to return. In the game world, weather and seasons change - harsh winters and blooming summers await you. The music is created by Retro Family, awarded for their work on the Pid Soundtrack, and the visuals have been reinvented by adding dense atmosphere and lighting to the patterned graphical art style.

[h1] Shelter 2 [/h1] Знаю игру еще когда она появилась, и была мелкой, играла в свое время в пиратскую версию, и много чего там не было, что есть уже в полноценной игре. Подобные игры всегда любила, но именно эта часть мне нравится больше всего. Хоть это и тип игр, где ты просто играешь за животное, которое просто пытается выжить, и при этом защитить свои детенышей, но игра чувства все ровно вызывает. Ты боишься что с ними что-то случится, следишь что б все были на месте и все покушали. [b] Твоя цель - это продолжение рода. [/b] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3731430247 [h1] Визуал, эмбиент, муз. сопровождение [/h1] Игра цепляет своей минимализмом, но при этом в этом и есть разнообразие. Цветокор меняется в зависимости от времени года, и делает он это постепенно и приятно для глаз. У каждого животного свой узор и покрас, даже у твоих детей. Музыка как и успокаивает, так может и насторожить, если есть опасность по-близости. Нет скриптов. [i] То есть, не обязательно что в первый раз ты можешь попасться на хищников, как было в прошлый, что придает непредсказуемости игре. [/i] Знаю что есть дополнение к игре, где ты играешь за малыша рыси, куплю ее чтоб сыграть☺ https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3731431713 [h1] Вывод [/h1] Игра похорошела, в нее очень приятно играть, даже если покупать за фулл прайс. Советую всем, любителям подобного жанра игр [i] Лично я минусов не нашла, ну если только бывает при беге за добычей цепляешься за деревья, но это не критично [/i] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3731431153

I really want to like this game. I love the art style, but other than that it left me completely baffled. I completed it in 35 minutes and I have no idea how. The instructions were really bad, and my xbox controller key mapping was completely messed up despite using the official template. I started following a snowflake icon, no explanation as to why, hit a river and drowned, so headed back to the nest. No kitten hunger indicator or anything so no real reason to go back to them I guess? Headed towards another different icon on the map.. for some reason.. and after some jarring loading screens which disoriented me, I eventually saw some deer which I couldn’t catch because my stamina bar is frustratingly small. And you’re either sprinting or crawling slowly, nothing in between. Gave up on them. Then I suddenly got some text declaring that I’m hurrying back to my nest because it’s empty? Cool, surprise completely ruined. Go back to nest, yep, empty. Meh. Fall asleep I guess? Then have a dream where I find another lynx? Who I think must be my boyfriend or something? Then that’s it… the game just kinda… ended… credits rolled. Probably I’m being a noob and missing something obvious but while I really wanted to enjoy it, it felt extremely unsatisfying.
大学的时候和室友一起窝在宿舍玩的,现在回想起来依然觉得很特别。非常喜欢画风,很温馨也很治愈,和室友们一起面对严酷的大自然,感觉完全不一样。我们一起看着小山猫出生,一起手忙脚乱地教它们捕猎,甚至一起被突然冲出来的老鹰吓得大叫。那种看着孩子们从步履蹒跚到能独当一面的成就感,是双倍的。美术风格真的太美了,每一帧都像壁纸。真的很想很怀念以前和室友一起体验这种既治愈又残酷的“云养猫”生活,承载了一段美好的回忆,每个游戏承载的都是曾经那段独特的时光和人。
To preface, I can understand why this is beloved game of it's time and how some players still hold the game dear to them today. Good animal sims are a rare gem in 2026, even more when this game was published in 2015. I wasn't even going to write a review, but then I saw this game retails at $25 off-sale... I bought this game years ago, I'm assuming (and hoping) during a sale. I was really disappointed in my playthrough of Shelter 2. I spent the first hour kind of... waiting for something to happen. I expected to face dangers similar to the first Shelter game but before I knew it, the game was over, all of my cubs survived, and nothing happened. I only learned that if you go to the winter area and sit around a very specific spot for **9-10 minutes** you may get attacked by wolves after reading reviews. I'm going to be honest, I scarcely ventured out of the first area / map during my playthrough. As other reviews mention, the game unintentionally(?) discourages you from doing so. Whenever I left the first area, I noticed food immediately grew scarcer. Since the goal of the game is to keep your kits alive... naturally, as you do in a survival game with 4 mouths to feed, I ventured back into land with plentiful prey. What is more baffling is even if I HAD explored, I would not have triggered any predator interactions. If you *really* like animal sims and want to explore everything out there, wait till its on a hefty sale. Or play the first Shelter game instead.
[h3]Игра, которая заставила меня переживать за пиксельных рысят.[/h3] Это очень спокойная, атмосферная игра, которая позволяет почувствовать себя матерью-рысью. Здесь нужно охотиться, заботиться о детёнышах, защищать их от опасностей и наблюдать, как они растут. Каждая прогулка по лесам и долинам сопровождается приятной музыкой, а смена времён года делает путешествие ещё более живым и запоминающимся. Это игра не про экшен, а про эмоции. Она может подарить чувство умиротворения, а может заставить искренне переживать за своих малышей. И именно поэтому она запомнилась мне. Если хочется ненадолго сбежать от суеты и просто раствориться в природе - Shelter 2 прекрасно для этого подходит.
If you're playing this game just to play it as a momma lynx protecting her cubs, one-hundred percent recommend it. Is it realistic? Not really, but I did enjoy it! The collection aspect can unequivocally kick rocks. I wasn't sure if I was even going to finish it, and if not for the tireless efforts of dozens of people creating a detailed guide to locations I'm sure I never would have. I didn't struggle keeping my cubs alive, and even with the harder difficulty and having the mountain "threats" on I was always able to keep my cubs from danger. If you're looking to one-hundred percent the game, be prepared for a slog, otherwise enjoy yourself and watch those pudgy little cubs grow bigger than you until eventually they give you a final farewell before running off to start their own families.
ваще ахуенно разрабы молодцы, ужасно душевная игра, плакали в конце, рыси топ, не покупайте шубы из рысей, орел пидорас, не давайте орлу пиздить ваших детей, волки ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, лиса шлюха, быстро бегает, пиздите ее, олени вкусные, охотьтесь на оленей
Играл в пиратку в году 17, купил по сути просто так, в благодарность за хорошую игру. Больше запускать вряд ли буду, ибо не хочу терять котят))
Fun simulater with just enough danger to keep you focused. love the look and sound track
дети просто объедают друг друга
