What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The graphics are unique, consisting of abstract patterns and wonderfully coordinated, thanks to color grading depending on the season.
I really enjoyed the first Shelter game - it was a fun little 'Sunday afternoon' game, playable in under a couple of hours and I really enjoyed the aesthetic, soundtrack and story/theme.
Again, I understand the free-roaming aspect in this game makes it much more random, but given my personal gameplay experience I'd have much preferred a more linear 'storyline' like the first game with more challenges to face so I actually felt some sense of achievement on completion instead of 'eh'.

Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 2 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
