I really, really liked this game. Maybe it's because I knew how to play from the first game, or maybe it really was a more cohesive story, but I bought into the storytelling-through-deduction mechanic way more this time around and as a result I had a blast with this game.

If you played the first game, you know what you're getting into -- it's more of the same gratifying detective work with the occasional leaps of faith/guesswork that are so delightful to hit on. Getting all multiple-dozen of the clues right the first time on a mad lib sheet of events is just a wildly satisfying feeling. Seeing the big picture story fall into place bit by bit through vastly different vignettes and eventually loop back around to the beginning to tie it all up was awesome.

I look forward to the DLCs, and it's tragic that this kind of game lacks replayability by design -- I cannot get enough of games like this.

I've dabbled in a lot of city builders, 4x games, and other similar strategy games, but none has hooked me so immediately the way Against the Storm has. The constant variety in building choices and environmental constraints makes every game feel fresh and I have to fight against playing "just one more game".

Incredibly fun combat, made even better with gyro aiming on the Steam Deck.

fun game i like to play sometimes
