Played since update 6 of Early Access and have never looked back. I was too busy building factories to realise I'd never even given a review for this game, so here it is:

Buy it, it's great.

Valve has thankfully decided to tackle the treadmill work that is game moderation. The servers have been bot free for a while now, even with the arrival of the 2024 Summer Update, which would normally see bots running rampant as their hosters double down on their effort. It is with this significant improvement to TF2 that I revert my negative review back to positive, on the understanding that it can and will go back to negative if bots should plague the game once more.

Time to amend my review. I'll be honest, I didn't think the garden update was ever coming, but I have been proven wrong. Well done devs.

Game is still great as of Veilbreaker, people are just reviewbombing because their AFK farms no longer work and they can't level accounts to illegally sell on anymore.

Entropy: Zero felt like a fan-made mod

Entropy: Zero 2 feels like a fully fledged title from Valve themselves

Rock and stone, that's all I need to say. That is until I have to edit this review for the Steam Awards.

I think TechLand actually shot themselves in the foot with Dying Light 2 by making Dying Light first.

As a standalone game, Dying Light 2 is great. The combat (at least on your end) is interactive with multiple moves and skills, the parkour itself is hella enjoyable and responsive, if a bit floaty at times, and the story is reasonable, given the fact that multiple of the lead story writers left during development.

The problems start when you compare it to the original Dying Light. They hit the nail on the head with the gameplay and combat in the original, to a point where the sequel feels like a downgrade in some areas. The story is considerably worse in comparison, and although the first games story wasn't the best, the characters actually showed emotion through their movements and voices. In the first game, Kyle Crane who was a government operate found himself whisked away in the drama of Harran, his goals and personality changing as he stopped listening to those who controlled him, breaking free and developing independence. Meanwhile Aiden Caldwell doesn't give much of a ♥♥♥♥ about what's going on in Old Villedor, only using it and its people as a means find his sister.

One other point of comparison that I won't delve too much into right now is the 'Ubisoftification' of the franchise in the sequel. Things like thousands of collectables and unreasonable costs for upgrading things.

By itself, a great game, but left in the shadow of its predecessor.

I have to write something here but don't feel like it. It's a good game okay.

I would recommend this game, but it appears to have more game-breaking bugs than its predecessor had before launch. It's incredibly easy to get out of the map at multiple locations, and my most recent bug had the game permanently saving, which meant I also couldn't manually save anymore. There goes 10 minutes of progress because of that.

Coulda been named Portal Combat
