About Shelter 2:

Be on your guard, because you are both predator and prey. Feed your cubs and keep them safe and enjoy those precious moments of peace and tranquillity whenever you can. But also remember that your own survival is the only thing that will guarantee theirs.Shelter 2 features more elaborate gameplay features than its predecessor and includes gameplay features such as stamina, movements, jumps and a variety of prey to hunt. Besides hunting skills, there are also maternal features such as calling the cubs closer, sniffing out prey, drinking water from rivers and lifting and carrying your cubs from harm’s way. A vast wilderness awaits The environments in Shelter 2 are significantly much larger than those in its predecessor, offering more freedom than ever before and allowing you to find favourite spots in which to return. In the game world, weather and seasons change - harsh winters and blooming summers await you. The music is created by Retro Family, awarded for their work on the Pid Soundtrack, and the visuals have been reinvented by adding dense atmosphere and lighting to the patterned graphical art style.

Spent $6, $8 with the mountain DLC, and I feel alright about it. No way this game is worth $25 though. There is very, very little to do- you have kits, hunt about 5 different prey species until they grow, then the game ends. That's it. There are collectibles scattered around the map I guess. With the mountain DLC it gets a little more interesting but it's still a very barren game. Other species don't really do anything except spawn and run away from you and the world doesn't feel very alive. You'll experience everything the game has to offer within about an hour. If it's on sale and you (like my daughter and I) *really* enjoy games about nature/playing as an animal then I think it's a decent choice. At full price it's absolutely a waste of money. Oh and if you're using an Xbox controller you'll get stuck at the beginning when it prompts you to hold left shift to sprint- you can fix this by rebinding the control to something else until you're past the "tutorial" screen. There are posts about this from like 8 years ago but it was never fixed.

This game is hard....{thinking about all kits dying because of starvation} but you can learn the ways of the wild, So, you are a Lynx, and you have to try and protect, and feed your 4 kits, catch rabbits, mice and squirrels, and ITS SOOOOOOOOOOO DARN FUN

In Shelter 1, if you don't feed your cubs enough, they will die and it's sad. In Shelter 2, if you don't feed your cubs a set of Santa's Reindeers every 3 seconds and bring rabbits in the sum of all Rabbits of the entire Rabbit franchise to your downed cubs (which happens every few minutes), they will die and it's annoying. You turned a sad consequence of a balanced mechanic into a frustrating and annoying occurrence. And the game is over within under two hours?! I don't think I've done two playthroughs on Shelter 1, but I got over 5 hours there. 3 Bucks per hour for Shelter 1 for a playthrough 18.5 for Shelter 2 Something is off. "Besides hunting skills, there are also maternal features such as calling the cubs closer, sniffing out prey, drinking water from rivers and lifting and carrying your cubs from harm’s way." Except practically none of them matters. You right click, aim for red prey, bite, eat/feed, repeat. And on the way, you find collectibles, seemingly meaningless. And if they have a meaning, you failed to communicate it in a meaningful way before the end of the playthrough was reached. As much as I loved Shelter 1, Shelter 2 failed to encapsule the greatness of th…
