If this game would have just done what the first game did and added some stuff it would have been fine. It's a bum rush of do this and do that, don't move places use the map to move places, here are some of your guys even though you didn't build them these are yours now. There's a dumb story attached to everything you do but no feeling of ownership, if a player could just explore and learn like the last game it would have been so much better. I get the feeling like I've continued someone else's save game. I don't know what's going on but I'm trapped by a bunch of little side quests, I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing to make the main game happen. I've tried it twice and I'm stuck both times, clicking stuff, trying to figure out how it works.

Don't bother. It's been a year since release, and the first game is still far better. They've added a bunch of time-consuming and tedious mechanics that add nearly nothing to enhance game play, and the "story" is really just a tutorial trying to masquerade as a story. I see the vision, but it just doesn't work. There's some sort of menu at my "hive" that I don't even know what it does because the hover text isn't even in English.

I was so excited for this game with as much as I enjoyed the first one, but now I'm just disappointed I spent money on a game that still doesn't feel finished, polished, or engaging.
