What players say
i have many complex feelings on this game, especially since salt1 was so good, maybe being the only good ds1like ive played. and while salt2 does lack some of those aspects i liked, i enjoy whats here. my only real "complaint" is that im seemingly the only person who misses how much the bosses could juggle you endlessly. tldr: its very different from salt1, but i still love it
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
I enjoyed the first game, and it took forever for me to get to this game as there was that whole thing with the epic store, but this game is quite enjoyable at least from my own experience.
Would you enjoy Monster Hunter if the monsters ran away after 2 seconds of fighting and 90% of the hunt was just chasing them across the map? And when you do get to finally fight the monster for real it's about the most obnoxious thing possible? Then boy is this game for you!
