A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I used to love the eery atmosphere and immersiveness of the first installment, but I remember missing these aspects from DL 2 at launch day (pirated it), but I wanna buy it at the summer sale perhaps now.

If anyone played DL 2 recently, did the game get some more immersive improvements or perhaps are there mods that can make it have a more atmospheric feeling?

I personally love it, the parkour and combat have a lot of depth that the first one needed.

The story is pretty messy but I would still say it was better than the original's, even if it is a low bar.

That sounds promising, and how about the immersiveness aspect? Are you content with that?

Really happy, they did a fantastic job making the world feel real and lived in.

The game does this thing I really like, where the survivors have turned the rooftops into gardens and farms since most zombies can't reach them.

It really adds to the idea that they've adapted to the post-apocalyptic world after 20 years.

A lot of the quests actually touch on the logistics of the new world, with subjects like power, communication and resources being a main focus.

I did not like the faction thing but overall story is ok, first one was better though. Overall first game is a masterpiece for me but second is decent as well.
