Divide By Sheep 2

I loved Divide by Sheep so much that it's the first game I gifted to multiple people, and I didn't expect the sequel to be the first game I would ever request a refund for. Divide by Sheep 2 is missing most of the charm the first game had while amplifying all of the issues, adding poorly explained features, turning it further into a 3D game with loading screens, and dumbing down the puzzles (at least the first 30). The only "nice" thing about my playthrough was that it lasted 69 minutes. I didn't enjoy any part of the game.

[b]TLDR: A terrible game that’s especially disappointing given how good the first one was. Always online requirement, tons of bugs, and a broken level 1/3 of the way through the game that halts any further play as you can’t skip levels. 1/10 (Burning your money gives the same value with less frustration)[/b] [hr][/hr] I love puzzle games and I really enjoyed the first Divide By Sheep game. Despite the negative reviews, I decided to give this sequel a chance. Big mistake. Compared to the first game, the puzzles are much more simple. In fact, most take almost no thinking and 15s or less to finish. I thought that would be my biggest issue with the game after the first few puzzles (like many negative reviews here), but boy was I wrong. A list of issues I encountered in 2 hours of play: 1) The game has an always online requirement...for a single player game with no online features. Upon booting the game, twice I was met with a “Lost Internet Connection” message and the game wouldn’t load. My internet was working fine both times, so I’m guessing there was an issue on the publisher side. No mention of this always online requirement is made on the store page. 2) The game explains nothing…

Not what i was expecting even tho i saw the trailer but if youre into puzzles buy it ig

Divide By Sheep 2 is a clever and darkly humorous puzzle game that takes simple arithmetic concepts and turns them into chaotic survival challenges involving doomed sheep, dangerous traps, and increasingly absurd problem-solving scenarios. Developed by Victor Solodilov and Denis Novikov and published by tinyBuild, the game expands on the original Divide By Sheep formula by introducing more mechanics, larger puzzle variety, and even more bizarre situations where players must manipulate groups of animals to satisfy mathematical conditions. What makes the game stand out is how successfully it combines cute cartoon presentation with ruthless puzzle design built entirely around sacrificing sheep in the most efficient ways possible. The core gameplay revolves around moving groups of stranded sheep between islands while deadly floodwaters slowly consume the environment. In order to rescue the animals, players must divide them into exact numerical groups required by each stage. The concept sounds simple at first, but the game quickly introduces hazards and environmental mechanics that force players to constantly rethink their strategies. Lasers slice sheep into halves, wolves eat specific…

I really like the game. Compared to the first one, it's easier, but the new mechanics add some creativity. Still, I feel like they haven’t been fully explored, and there’s room to increase the difficulty.
