That's some damning impressions GG. I quite enjoyed the first, but don't see the point in a sequel, even if it is of good quality. I don't think the novel experience of a calming dive could lure me back in. Might as well just replay the original. Perhaps a remaster would indeed have been a better option.
Just read IGNs review, I was going to keep playing for the story but it's locked behind different requirements that are impossible to meet. You have to find certain things, but you aren't told where to find them and the whole map is randomised.
Apparently in an online session with 30 players everyone can find these things without too much hassle. As a sole player you can do two hour dive sessions and not find what you're looking for.
I've just put it up for sale on ebay.
I hear they didn't even allow pre-release review code, this game is a scam.
This is a nightmare. To have a series you enjoyed so much come back and have it be this...
I think that's why a lot of us old farts are afraid of the ways gaming is changing, shit like this.
Geez, GG, I'm sorry. I know you've been anticipating this game for a while.
It's sad but truth is I didn't have any expectations for it. The way it was revealed had me questioning what it was from the get go. I had to buy it regardless to see what its like, they've turned it into some live service procedurally generated turd.

You should try the second, it's a much better game, more objective based. Like an rpg really. Kind of like Snowrunner actually, you'd never expect a game about driving trucks could be turned into an awesome RPG, but it works.
I've been playing Stellar Blade this weekend. It's a fun game but it has just enough Souls-like timing/gameplay to kick my ass repeatedly . . . on STORY MODE!!
Returned to playing Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice this weekend and finished it. Pretty cool game and enjoyed it a fair amount. Am all ready for Hellblade II when it comes out in the next couple of weeks.

I downloaded Tomb Raider 2013 from the Game Pass this morning. Still looks great.
