Curious Expedition 2

Curious Expedition 1 had better flowing gameplay, better art, better variety and had a better interface. For a sequel, it just seems like a pale imitation of the first with fewer options, fewer playable characters, and just plain less fun to play than the original. The music was better in the first too. CE2 is like if you asked an AI to remake CE1 I hope if you ever make a CE3, that you return to the roots in everything, music, artstyle, gameplay and variety.

【ENGLISH VERSION】 I played the second game first in this series, haven't tried the first one yet (heard people say the first is better, but I won't comment on that). I've played a lot of similar games, and this one's art style really hits the spot for me. [spoiler]The story is also pretty engaging (with some moments that are both funny and heartbreaking).[/spoiler] [spoiler]One thing I really wanna rant about: when I found out I could change the colors of my animal companions, I was shocked! Then they all turned into a rainbow mess. And you can actually eat your animal buddies (yeah, when you're starving, you can eat them—I'm not sure if you can eat human companions too). My jaw literally dropped.[/spoiler] But I'm giving it a thumbs down for the following reasons. Some downsides: the UI isn't great, it blocks the view. The game content gets repetitive pretty fast—no real motivation to play long-term or crank up the difficulty. Inventory space is super limited, rewards after each mission are stingy, maps are tough, and the currency needed to unlock characters/items is way too high. Stuff like that. Bottom line: the gameplay isn't that deep. You can grab it when it's on a big sale, …

This game is an incredibly charming piece of RPG. I really love the art style and the gameplay is absolutely replayable

the board game aspects really endear me to this game,

In this rogue-like exploration game you travel to undiscovered islands in the pursuit of knowledge and treasure 🏝️ Along the way you encounter wild tribes, rare animals and various challenges that emerge from the procedurally generated world and put you in front of difficult decisions with surprising outcomes. After several runs, the narrative becomes repetitive, but the variety of game systems and their content encourage trying different strategies and finding new ways to success. I recommend Curious Expedition 2 to all rogue-like fans that prefer environmental exploration and character management over pure combat.
