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.

[h3]Cute wildlife simulator with little replayability. Better fit for casual and new gamers such as kids.[/h3] [u]The Good[/u] + Unique graphics + Decent concept + Looks and feels cozy, despite it being very nature faithful [u]The Meh[/u] ~ Too many collectables ~ Easily gets visually cluttered ~ UI is a bit clunky with no context other than intro ~ Played on keyboard, so I can't say whether it's controller compatible or not [u]The Bad[/u] - Buggy, I had issues getting stuck because the lynx jumped of a cliff and landed on it's back like a turtle - Way too many collectables, some aren't even placed out on the map and require tutorials/bugs to find - Some encounters are just really annoying to deal with - Had a kit "die" for no apparant reason when it got stuck on terrain (possibly due to cut direct visuals and "fog") - The game loop is so simple it gets boring fast Closing statement: I wanted to give this game another try and complete it for once, but I found myself getting annoyed with it.

Very cute meow meooow meow
super cute!! <3
Kochałam tą grę jako dziecko teraz jest o 64 zł droższa ale zawsze budziła we mnie silne emocje, zwłaszcza wzruszenie. Piękna jakościowo, wspaniała muzyka i grafika... gra gdzie jest piękno bez wymagania słów. Szczerze polecam każdemu 🤍
я больше не зайду в эту игру после того как лиса у меня уволокла рысенка
Проебал кота я грустный
Миленькая и моментами напряженная игра из моего детства. Для разнообразия и более красочной игры обязательно нужно приобрести Shelter 2 Mountains (больше врагов и фишек) . Мне показалось что в дополнении длительность игры больше , чем в изначальной версии , хотя по сюжету не отличается. Графика и музыка приятная . Игра много не весит но затягивает, локация безумно огромная . За одну игру всю карту не обойдешь . Точно стоит своих денег. A cute and sometimes intense game from my childhood. For a more diverse and colorful game, you should definitely get Shelter 2 Mountains (more enemies and chips). I felt that the game was longer in the expansion than in the original version, although the plot didn't change. The graphics and music are enjoyable. The game is not very heavy, but it's addictive, and the locations are incredibly vast. You won't be able to explore the entire map in a single game. It definitely worth the money I paid
This game is hard....{thinking about all kits dying because of starvation} but you can learn the ways of the wild, So, you are a Lynx, and you have to try and protect, and feed your 4 kits, catch rabbits, mice and squirrels, and ITS SOOOOOOOOOOO DARN FUN
STOP. ✋ — Calm down mama bear! — Kids are fed 🍽️— Bills are paid 💸— And honestly? That’s powerful. 💖👍— Take a breath in, and give those zen vibes a second to KICK IN. 🧘
