That last part is IMO the important one. For the King was a fantastic little coop game.
I refunded it after an hour.
Besides the glaring bugs that shouldn't have been there at release, I was disappointed that barely anything changed from the first game. Unfortunately the gameplay loop is not engaging enough to warrant releasing the same game twice.
Good to know, thanks!
I enjoyed the first game but it was fairly basic, I didn't know they were even making a second one but if it is just more of the exact same then I'll pass for sure!
I grabbed it for the couch co-op, which we really enjoyed in the first one. But in ftk2 every controller can control every character, which feels weird. Also playing with the controller feels more clunky than the original.
Super pumped about this, can't wait to get this semester over with so my group can finish BG3 and get into this. We played the first one a ton, and adding a fourth will be nice!
Shame, me and my friends were looking forward to this but I guess we'll wait a couple of weeks.
I spent about 15 hours on this already, and luckily for me, I only ran into one major bug (froze but thankfully game autosaved a lot) and one light one (two enemies in one spot). We played online two people with two characters each and it was fun and worked great, we only controlled our own characters. Sounds like maybe it's more optimized for online than couch co-op, but who wants to buy two copies of the game if you don't have to?
Music is improved, couldn't play a lot of the first one because it kept making my partner pass out, too sleepy vibe. No issues like that here, soundtrack is nice.
I suppose it is really similar to the first, except the new taller models and stuff. The dead heroes thing seems new to and possibly neat, but I could be wrong. I see it more as a story sequel than a game sequel currently. I was happy buying it early, but for others, I'd probably recommend getting it on more of a sale.
