Pretty good game, felt a bit harder than the first one until the golf carts. Golf carts changed the pace of the combat for me on the surface a decent amount. Had crazy horsepower too I've climbed mountains with these bad boys and wiped out entire settlements. 10/10 would ride the golf carts again

Super immersive sandbox horror survival game with tons to do and hours of gameplay to sink into. The building mechanics are amazing, and the NPC characters really add to the creepy atmosphere. Theyβre not just there for show they actually make the world feel alive, and always get you looking over your shoulder. This game takes everything that made the first one great and just kicks it up a notch. The survival elements are intense, the world is beautifully detailed, and the atmosphere is incredibly eerie. If you're a fan of survival horror, this game really nails it . The gameplay is way more polished than the first game, especially when it comes to crafting and building. One of the best additions is having AI companions. You can build a real connection with them as they go from being completely clueless to protecting you like theyβre your best friend. Itβs an awesome touch that makes the experience feel even more personal. Overall, itβs a great sequel that improves on the first game while adding some cool new twists. If you liked the previous game, youβre going to love this one.
