Sadly, this wasn't any better than DISTRAINT in terms of fun.

However, the game is better in terms of quality and graphics, definitely. You can now walk fast if you choose to, and this makes the game much easier to tolerate, at the least. I'm a little sad that I didn't enjoy this at all, but what can we do? The story did get better at the end--I liked how the game resolved with Price and others he met along the way, and the childhood memories were also good.

Eh. At least I got it off my backlog.

If anyone needs it, there's a very well-made achievements guide/walkthrough on Steam for the game. If it wasn't for that, I would never be able to complete this game.

Note to myself: Don't impulse buy games because they're cheap.

So that’s definetly a no for buying the game for me. I finished Distraint yesterday and I’m glad that I finished it, out of my backlog at least. Something that annoyed me to no end was having to walk around seemingly endless ways in that walking crawl that they used. Glad that they at least fixed that in the second one. Hope you have more fun with your next game.

Yeah, don’t waste your money on it.

having to walk around seemingly endless ways

I hated that as well. So time consuming and pointless. Shouldn’t be hard to make it go faster. :P

And thanks, you too :D

Oof, we’ve all been there…

Distraint 2 (or 1 cf. samwise’s post) really doesn’t sound so great, thanks for suffering through it for us ;)

aonrao

Yeah… At least I’m a fast learner :P
And no problem :D I should add this to my profile lol
Suffering through games since 2013

Oh well. I loved both Distraint games. I even bought and played D2 on release day to support the dev.
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure I guess :)

aonrao

I really wanted to like them! The games are well-made imo, but the gameplay and the story just felt like a chore :(
I’m sad about this but what can we do… It’s good that you enjoyed them! :)

samwise84

same unfortunately. But then again it would be less fun if everyone would like the same games ;)

aonrao

That’s true :P

Oh hey, didn’t you also played Hollow Knight? Did you abandoned it? :(

aonrao

I’m stuck in Hollow Knight. There’s not much left to be done in the main game, but I’m playing so badly that I can’t beat a couple of bosses (that are left) & dream warriors. I haven’t abandoned it!
