Tavern Talk 2: Dreamwalker

Ein super gelungenes Prequel zu Tavern Talk! Die Charaktere und die Story sind super, vor allem, wenn man den ersten Teil kennt. Das Tränkesystem ist etwas komplexer, hat mir aber auch nochmal besser gefallen! Die Designs sind auch wieder super toll. Das Lied "All It Takes" ist mein Dauerohrwurm und lässt mich jetzt schon nostalgisch werden, auch wenn das Spiel nicht ganz eine Woche draußen ist. XD Würde auch noch einen dritten Teil nehmen! Q_Q

Just like the first one, cozy and fun! The menu song BANGS, hoping for more. Also love all the little trinkets from other indie games like Vampire Therapist

I want to leave a positive review because I enjoyed the game, and I recommend it to anyone who enjoyed the first one (and to anyone who likes this type of game). However, while it has several positive aspects, I also found several flaws, especially compared to its predecessor. These flaws make it feel more like a mini-project, made in between larger projects (like Taver Talk 1 and whatever the next one might be, I hope). The story is much shorter, and there are far fewer sidequests (most of the time it felt like it was just accumulating rumors only to use a few crammed into a few quests). The cast is also much smaller, with only 8 characters, 3 of whom we already know (although I did enjoy seeing them in this previous era). The writing is good, although the characters feel somewhat less charismatic than those in TT1, and the story is a bit less epic. It draws you in less (perhaps due to the scarcity of side quests it feels like there's less build-up or exposition. There's much more information I would have liked to have; it's as if much of the development happens more off-screen than in the previous game). On the other hand, the drinks, characters, and tavern interior designs are still gorgeous, and although I think I prefer the system from the first game, I liked the new way of making drinks and solving the customers' orders (sometimes there can be more than one correct answer and that's cool). I really like this series and I'd love to play more games in this world. Whether it's with Una's party, Quasar's one from between this game and the first, continuing with the tavern from the first game, or a completely different one, I eagerly await the next installment. Although, hopefully, these details will be taken into account for improvements.

I love the new drinkmixing! It's more engaging than in the original game (I prefer the new version of it) I also love the story, it feels so much more mature and more up my lane. A worthy prequel! Looking forward to playing through it! (might update this afterwards if possible with a final verdict) PS: The main menu music is a banger!

A somewhat weaker prequel (less characters and convoluted quest building), but with better drink mixing and character storylines. Still very enjoyable with a great theme song.

too many hot people, not complainin', just saying
