Second Sun

its got the potential to be pretty fun, but i sadly requested a refund after a week of no reply (both on steam discussion and discord) to my report on a game breaking bug that can cause any dungeon generated when making a character to have a never spawning boss (and in the case i found this bug.. the tutorial... which permanently locked that character out of the rest of the game) i was also sorely disappointed in mercenaries who have lemming mentality.. as soon as i hired one it ran off into the sunset to die at the hands of random enemies that werent even remotely close to us or even in the direction i was walking if the dev wants to address this dungeon boss bug i should still have the save files assuming they are the (character name).dsc files under /AppData/LocalLow/Grey Wolf Entertainment/Second Sun/ may re-buy re-review in the future if these 2 issues ever get fixed

游戏做的还不错，就是没汉化做任务比较难受，期待中文

Enjoyable, and has a lot of potential to build upon the solid base that has been released. Variety is missing, gun play is great, there are some glitches and quality of life changes certainly needed, but I do honestly believe this already fun game could become something much bigger. To me it feels somewhat like Serious Sam, at least in the brainless (I do not mean this in a bad way, it is a compliment) shoot shoot go here shoot shoot loot loot way that sometimes is just what you may need to be able to tune out, and chill. I look forward to what the devs do with this game in the future! Notes: - Screen shake seems to compound and not reduce after the fact when you are being hit and firing your gun at the same time, leading to crazy screen shake building up - A way to view prior quest dialog and scrolls would be excellent - Resources only seem to spawn in a single zone, outside of there, it is barren - When identifying an item, personal opinion but switching to the items tab after would make the flow a bit more seemless, instead of switching to consumables, then items to select, then back to consumables, then having to select items again - A big ask of course, but additional variety in dungeon layout and enemy class would be a massive win - Again, a big ask, but some variety to the Legendary weapons in how appear when they fire, what their firing looks and sounds like compared to other weapons in order to distinguish them and give that feeling of what a Legendary weapon should do would be great - Small note, but when adding mod slots via the Mod Master, throwing the player out of the dialogue and requiring them to speak to the Mod Master again each time they want to add slots feels a little cumbersome - An ability to zoom the world map and see resource modes you have discovered would be nice - Resuming a save always places you back at West Point Camp, instead of where you left the game previously. While resuming within a dungeon I understand may not be ideal, if you leave the game in the overworld, loading back in when resuming would be ideal - Further separating out ammo types in to heavy, rifle, pistol would be nice. Although ammo is rarely an issue, seeing the same ammo shared between heavy, rifle and pistol feels a bit odd - Currently it seems items which can be master crafted are shown as greyed out when changing from improve to master craft. This does not prevent you from master crafting them, but is misleading in the UI - Rolling forward time appears to clear out discovered NPCs such as the Mod Master etc from the world map, even though their position is static

Overall, not bad for the 20% discount, roughly $16. Some improvement ideas: - The options menu could be put together better (they look amateurish right now). - The loot definitions and labels could use larger lettering or words. - Loot and pickup items could "glow" a bit brighter for better visibility. - The gun sounds are ok, but sound like a bouncing ball in a barrel. - The explosions sound muffled and weak. - The overall game environment color is a bit bland, dark, and washed out (I used "reshade" and improved the color and clarity in about half an hour). Most gamers won't mind paying an increased price if the above-mentioned improvements are made.

Ok, so there is fun to be had in this game but there is a ton of bugs and odd design choices that prevent me from recommending this game.

High potential with some huge flaws. The setting is awesome along with the combat idea of blending gunplay and magic.But enemy autoleveling ruins the whole excitement of leveling up and progression. The enemy behaviour suggests the use of a dash, but there is none in the game, so instead of creating various tactics which would be possible with the dash move, there's only one - keep distance and shoot. There are some artistic flaws as well. For instance, adding fade ins and outs when the scene changes (like in dialogue or on death screen) would make the whole picture to be percieved way smoother. Dialogue windows look like placeholders in an alpha build. The vignettes of spells are confusing and give a feeling of taking damage, rather than inflicting it. And now for the elephant in the room - sound. It is VERY poor. 90s FPS sounded better. The guns lack some high frequency sounds, like mechanics. There is no impact of combat and even the explorating. The hit pots produce the sound of a porcelain cup being put on a saucer. Soundscape is filled with ambient sounds, yet feels empty. Some ambience SFX is not perfectly looped. And the music...Well, it's just there. It does not create any tension or provides any emoional impact. The sad thing is that this is not an early access game, it is a released one, so there is no chance that the flaws I touched will be addressed, which will keep a potentially acclaimed game in the swamp of mediocrity.

I liked it, i just wish it had better optimization for Steam Deck and hand held, but these guys can show you better than I can tell. https://youtu.be/eeej0pERRmQ

The game should have difficulty options. The game gets very difficult very quickly before the player can prepare with better equipment and weapons. Another improvement would be not to respawn areas previously cleared. That just makes returning to your last point advanced very tedious. The game is very linear. I found no exploration options. It was a straight path. So, it was tedious and boring. Just one more shoot 'em up with nothing else. 20/100
