Sequel to the acclaimed grinding game - Force of Nature. This time much more streamlined and accessible but it has its downsides.

+ Game is streamlined in good ways - there are ghosts to help you with the grind, its far easier to navigate and know what to do, maps are more linear, crafting is easier and there are some quality of life improvements.

+ Core gameplay has been enhanced by new features - a magic system, skill tree with active skills, boss fights, more varied enemies and other features like requiring light source for some areas, poison resistance in others, etc.

+ Game looks and sounds good. Runs well too.

+ Co op is improved massively - you are no longer locked in by an invisible chain to your friends, you can go wherever you want, co op is more seamless and better implemented.


- Its still far too grindy. Its unreal, the grind you have to undertake. Build, craft, wait, grind enemies, farm crops, etc. Really there is no reward at the end, nothing.

- Maps no longer feel like raw, unwelcoming nature - you no longer have to cut through vegetation and trees. Carving through the nature felt like a task and it had its value.

- Swamp area was just too grindy and annoying. Easily the hardest in the game and the annoyances you have to go through there were too much.

- Final boss is a joke, there is no satisfaction there, i got the bad ending which sucks after hours and hours of grind. Its not even communicated to you what you need to do to get the good ending. You cant continue playing further after the credit scene either.

- There is a story but its not even worth reading through.

- While there is magic system and skill tree it sucks and is super basic, old mmorpg like. Click a button to increase your attack speed for few seconds, increase damage, increase your defense stats, etc. All boring.

- I dont like that they removed 3rd person view, there is only top down view.


This game shines best in co op with your friends - just grind away while you have a chat, talk about your day and turn your brain off. This is how i played the first game and this game too and it works surprisingly well. I would give this game a mixed rating but it is not possible.
