Want to love it, but just cant.

I have really tried to love the game. I loved DD1. But the whole premise of riding the carriage and then have zero base building, zero hero management and not really any choices to make is making the game one-dimensional and unfortunently boring.

Such a shame. I really wanted to love it.

hmm after playing demo, this feels like different game than DD1. character background,animation every fight,side quest yadayada... welp not buying i guess

[Satsujinki]

So I tried on demo and my impression is kinda....meh. I mean look at this graphic which it feels like cartoon to me. Control seems too confuse for me than what I played DD1 back then. Feels like I cannot enjoy this game anymore.

That's the point. They said they want to create a different experience, not a copypaste of DD1 with updated graphics and whatnot.

I just can't get into this game. I got it on Epic when it launched the early access, but it's just too punishing to be fun. Any kind of creative or constructive criticism of the game pretty much has the developer calling you an idiot and telling you to get good. I've never offered any, because I read what happens to people who did. All I can say is you should probably wait to buy this. Maybe it'll get more playable. When the streamers can't figure out how to make it fun then there's absolutely something wrong here.

Gotta agree with Kalogrym.

DD2 seems to lack the connection that DD1 allowed, I'm wondering what's supposed to replace that in DD2; it's a different experience, I get that, but what's supposed to be the attraction in DD2?

The "loop mechanic" has a final objetive or something similar? I am thinking about For the King, where you are losing run after run but at the same time unlocking objets and weapons in a main store that you can use finally to make a sucessfull run to the end. Something like that, or are the runs totally disconnected between them? (sorry for my poor english)

If you lose/win a run, (In Darkest Dungeon 2), certain actions, progress and objectives will unlock "Candles". These Candles can be spent on numerous upgrades, meaning every time you lose, the game becomes a bit easier if you spend the candles.

Some people call this mechanic "Roguelike", but its actually not *LIKE* Rogue at all, since on Rogue when you die, you start over again entirely fresh.

DD1 is one of my favourite games ever. This one is not.

Stagecoach is incredibly boring. I played another game on my phone while waiting for the next area - that's not a good sign.

The animations in battle are cool, but it's not for me. I preferred the 2D art of DD1.

Everything just takes... longer. Removed from wishlist.

But thats the thing: DD1 is still there!
It`s not going to be worse after DD2 releases.

However, if DD2 was just DD1 with better technical implementation, people who like what DD2 is now would have nothing. So i`m glad they try some changes, even if it doesn`t make everyone happy who liked DD1.

And who knows, maybe they bring back some mode that is familiar to DD1. Time will tell.
