![]() ![]() Techland probably want to avoid spoilers getting onto the Internet early. I would expect reviews to go live a few days before just with no footage until then. The review embargo for the game was lifted just few days back and since then, the Techland title has mostly received a mixed bag of opinions from critics. Review codes are being sent out on the 20th-27th. So that's when people can post footage of it. Furthermore, while Sunless Sea reshuffles its islands when you die, the starting islands are fairly standardised, so this early game ends up repetitive anyway. Content embargo for dying light 2 is 24 hours before launch. You're talking at least half an hour, possibly an hour, before you've returned to the point where you're not fretting about bloody fuel. But bugs and rough edges result in a game that seems rushed, published a year too early. But Sunless Sea burns its coal at a much slower pace. Dying Light 2 frequently feels like an astonishing game, from an elite team at the peak of its abilities. Even dying in Dark Souls rarely costs more than ten minutes as you return to the boss that squashed you. Other games of this ilk, like Spelunky, Rogue Legacy, and NEO Scavenger, compensate for their harsh mechanics by having a very speedy early game. The other major issue with Sunless Sea is immediacy. Confirmation comes by way of a tweet from developer Techland earlier today, which announced: 'To fully complete Dying. ![]() Getting pulled into a fight can easily eat up a whole barrel of fuel, so you need to ensure that you carry at least half as much more than you think you'll need, otherwise you'll be over the side in a dinghy, and at the mercy of one of Sunless Seas' equally unpalatable contingent plans. Dying Light 2 will reportedly take 'at least' 500 hours to complete. The combat is fun and well realized, with impressive gore mechanics and impactful melee systems. Further to this, although I don't have a problem with a game killing my character in a way that is abrupt or even unfair, I do have a problem with it killing me in a way that is uninteresting, and running out of fuel in your first hour of play is precisely that. Theres nothing particularly bad about Dying Light 2. ![]()
