This *almost* would have been my first negative review. Almost.

Continuing from my review of TBS 1, after properly importing my old saved file instead of creating a new one, the gameplay was good as usual. The story, more intriguing. I then started encountering bugs. Not the ruining-the-game kind but they were there. Was almost halfway through it. Then finally if I recall correctly, after an update more than a year ago, the audio stopped working. I filed a report. Soon I found realised I'm not the only one finding technical faults with the game via the forums.

I thought instead of waiting for the newest update, why not take a break, let them iron out more issues if they do and restart playing it a year later? I did that. A month ago I passed it. My main audio bug was fixed obviously. However, the technical issues were still there, and it kind of felt like I was forgiving a lot. Not many gameplay improvements were made besides a few since TBS 1. I saying this with respect to TBS 3. It's fair to expect improvements in a game similar to its prequels.

However, the story continued to engage me and I wanted to quickly finish this series, ignoring the occasional tech issues. I would say the game doesn't disappoint still....but the tech issues and it's not-newbie friendly gameplay features would be a reason I wouldn't recommend it to people outside this genre. So if you decide the play it, be prepared to be a little forgiving. I recommend it to others and quickly moved on to TBS 3. At the time of writing this, I finished the series btw...so see you at my review there. :P
