HALF DEAD 2

this is a solid little logic puzzle game, clearing rooms, deductive reasoning, all that good stuff. it's also base price 5$ for reasons. there's an inescapable lack of quality that pervades every aspect of the game. much as i enjoy playing it every time a game ends, by my death or my success, i can't restart, i have to go back to main menu and start a new game manually. what makes this frustrating for me is the reason this occurs: singleplayer mode is just co-op mode in a private, one person lobby. you still get progress towards the co-op wins achievements for 1p victories, but you also have to wait for the tutorial room to load and then wait two more seconds as the game tells you your game is ready.

all these gripes and a few other minor ones i'll remember after this is posted and i've forgotten about it aside i do enjoy this game for what it is, and if you've got friends looking for a simple little logic teaser to play around in for a while or just want a new such busywork game to occupy some of your time with i can recc for sure. now that i'm certainly on a watchlist for putting this many characters into a review of this game, hey there, all you sexy pencil pushers, don't forget that king kong died for your sins. fnord.

The loot boxes don't really help at all to make the game fun.

+ Good graphics
