I have the same feelings, I bought episode 1 on Steam and LOVED the game, I thought it was very original and I was very intrigued on how the story would unfold. I was dying of anxiety to play episode 2 soon, so I came to F95 to accompany episode 2 and oh boy... I think it's 5x longer than the first episode and the grind is to discourage anyone, the proposal of ep 1 was a VN with elements of Sandbox and then in ep 2 it becomes a Sandbox with elements of VN...I know, I am repeating the same phrases again and again. I ragequitted this game so often, returning for the great content, howling abuse to it for the annoying gameplay.
Once again - I hate gamesyou can't play without a walkthrough.
I hate games which are pain in the ass even playing them with a walkthrough.
Despite the great content of this game it still remains the most sadistic and painful game I ever encountered. I always try to stay away from it, then two or three updates come out, people praise it - totally okay for the great content - but it seems everybody is okay with the repetitious grindy timeconsuming stuff and the loss of where to go and what to do next. Apart from that the guidance is really poor. E.g. the escort job - of course you can find out how to do it at te first try, but... I would say it is not too obvious.
So I am trying to follow all those los ends, eventually succeeding, eventually failing. Hours go by, many hours. I never have any clue what to do next, and no clue at all how the diffrent sorylines intertwine. I LOVE the story and the art, I HATE the game.
I can only play and do all the quests with the use of a walkthrough and I am only playing this to see how the story will end because it is good, what spoils is the gameplay full of grind. You can already predict that episode 2 will have a very negative reaction on Steam because of that, "Mostly Negative" is my bet, i will buy it to support the dev but i wish it was like episode 1.
