"you need to rest before you can fight again"

this game has a lot of anti-player changes in design that make it a massive slog compared to the first game, just too many inconveniences that compound to waste my time

a fun sequel to heist, and a decent enough successor. Needlessly made fun parts frustrating for the sake of being different.
the worst to know going in:

characters and weapons becoming unusable after a single mission makes the game wildly miserable. Enjoy being hard locked out of the options you actually enjoy until you've slogged through the rest.

overworld travel is frustrating. It's fun and novel at first, but the lack of fast travel between even major locations makes it, again, miserable. I suppose naval combat is supposed to be 'part of the challenge', but spending 5 minutes holding s just so you can be ambushed into a 30 second combat is not worth it.

The levelling system, while cool and modular, is not tutorialized until three hours in. At which point you are forced into 'experimenting' even though you've already figured it out by then.

Ultimately, is saved by the fact that it is steamworld heist. The game is very much fun, but I'd sooner suggest the first one.

Not as good as SH1 but p good.
