Far From Perfect But Has Its Charm - 6.5/10
I quiet enjoyed the first game, so ofc i will try the second game, had quiet different experience... I mean certainly not perfect but has its mind boggling issues.

I quiet enjoyed the first game, so ofc i will try the second game, had quiet different experience... I mean certainly not perfect but has its mind boggling issues.
Settings :
Apparently the game is a prequel which happen 3 years prior to the event of the first game. This time instead playing as the colonizer, you play as a native from some magical island.
Story :
What happen to an island with potential and resources? hell yeah amurica ! A madman has a kink of becoming and emperor to unite entire nation under his banner which proclaimed to solve war. yeah2 we heard this plot many times now. He saw an islander merge with spirit of the land and become monster and thought , hey lets use them as pets for wars. Obviously our hero wouldnt let that happen, he/she journey in every continents to get support to save her people and put a stop to the madman. Promising start but very weak towards the end. Final mission is too darn disappointing.
Gameplay :
If u play the big RPG - BG3, Divinity etc, then these game try to follow the same directions. Except the customization and application is limited. U level up, u get sp points, attributes points and talents points , and since your hero can become any class, customize away ! except the combat barely make any difference so like me, im sticking gunner/hunter all the way. U talk with a lot of factions, gain some favours, some mad at you, choice make difference bla bla the usual
Combat :
Is a cluster fck. I dont know who play testing it and think its a good idea. Its like a hybdrid of action rpg + real time strategy with pause elements .it was a mess. they shud just stick the combat like first game or pick one type ! Doesnt help AI companion is too darn stoopid.
Graphics, Design, Environment:
Pretty good. I play in 4k so it really capture the essences.
Sounds:
Sound is whatever, i cant even remember single one except the song at the main menu lol VA good, except the female VA for the hero is too... idk what ascent its too thick. is it british? irish? lmao it bugged me
CONS : I HAVE A LOT OF ISSUES WITH IT HENCE THE 6.5.
- Graphical bugs too frequent. Yeah textures not load so u talking with hair , floating head, broom.
- Crash at the pier still unresolved !
- Poor optimization for AMD(im using 9060xt)
- Walking simulator. Please more travel points.
- Everytime use fast travel it bring to ship, and need to sort party again, what a waste of time coz loading screen is long !
- Combat is a mess, i didt enjoy it. i just end up spamming arrow and grenade.
- Poor final mission, the climax is too.... abrupt. thast it? u barely see the villain throughout the game and he K.O easily. lol
- Cant pause during cutscene.
- No dialogues rewind, even worse during choice options, no questions on the screen ! yah2 sometimes u skip dialogues when its too boring.
- Loots no highlight, yah u have to keep using ur vision which slow u down like half , very troublesome and tedious.
- Crouching is useless. Spying is useless
- Mini quets dont have markers on maps. really? its 2026.
Verdict : Despite all the issues, i have quiet an adventure and enjoyed it by evidence ive finished it and almost finished all companions quests ( didnt do nilan coz i hate the arrogant fella). I hope if they do next installment, please for god sake, forget these combat ever exist and do new one. ciao !
