I loved the first game and I’m so excited for the second one. I’ll pick this up on day one.

If you haven’t played the first one, please check it out, I’m sure it’s super cheap at this point.

Hey just FYI, links in the post title don't work on Beehaw. Here's the link to the steam store page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2339840/Enter_the_Gungeon_2/

I loved the first EtG and played a ton of it. I'm not entirely sold on the new 3d art style, but I'll try to give it a fair shot once it gets here.

Also, the original Enter the Gungeon is available on Xbox Game Pass for any of you folks that have it. It's absolutely worth checking out.

Oooooo I really like the new graphic style!!

I stopped playing it particularly because of the 1st-floor experience with items/loot (and active items in general).

Then again, these sort of problems for me seem to run through games (especially roguelikes) often.

I don’t really understand. Can you elaborate?

[–] insomniac_lemon@lemmy.cafe 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

It's not guaranteed to get anything of value before you hit the boss. There aren't many chests, active items are often highly situational and you may be forced to abandon it. This may be expected/intended and I may even be able to beat the boss anyway, but it's more tedious.

Very likely that keys and blanks (both multi-functional), more chests, or money don't drop enough. This already means waiting on making some choices until after the floor is mostly cleared (despite this not being the best/easiest option for survival) especially when it comes to the alternate path.

What about the first floor didn't you like?

I've just been replaying it again since it was included in gamepass - already have hundreds of hours racked up between PC & Switch.

Definitely my favourite roguelite. And the soundtrack is so good. Haven't tried Exit since I heard bad things, and I never really got to the point where I'd fully completed the first. But that teaser got me super pumped.

Yeah I love the first one. Also have hundreds of hours on it. I think the only things I’ve not unlocked are from the secret boss fight that is different from the others.

Exit was pretty terrible. It felt like a gimmicky cash grab.
