Very interesting tropical island exploration game. Awesome theme. I like the procedurally generated islands, but you can go insane (literally) searching for rare resting spots, and some objectives are too vague. Dice based combat that's enjoyable. Absolutely built for the Steam Deck, great experience on there.

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.

Great Game, but beeing 10 Hourse deep into a run and aggroing all islander sucks. Ans the only reason it sucks is because the UI wont let me prevent an ambush. Am i walking and stop, im too far away to engage combat and if i click stop i get ambushed anyway. plz make an option to let me engage combat first or else make the enemy hidden because than the firststrike of the enemy would be at least rational.
