I'm gonna be real, as just a casual follower of this game, I kinda assumed it already came out a while ago and was just so meh nobody talked about it. I'm shocked it's still not out yet
Don't be, this game won't quietly peep its way into obscurity, it will be an uproarious fart all the way across the halls of the internet.
If it even does, it will come out and literally nobody will like it because a) it has an impossibly high bar to clear even in the hands of competent devs and b) it's been made by walking sim developers as their first attempt at a real game with gameplay beyond simple puzzles.
I will literally slice off my own asscheeks, cure them into honey glazed ham, and serve them on rye if it comes out as anything resembling the success of the first.
Is there a preferred metric to measure this by? I didn't play the first one, but Wikipedia says "polarizing but ultimately positive," and there's an 80/100 metacritic score, for whatever that's worth.
Your word picture is just so funny that I want to root for the game's success just to be the person that quotes this comment and @s you, even if I tend to agree with your assessment.
You're thinking about it wrong. How much content it has is not the problem. The problem is we've seen gameplay and it looks nothing like its predecessor.
Well, my expectations for this game were already on the floor. Guess it's time to put them in the basement. I mean I want a good sequel to Bloodlines, but that's looking less and less likely.
