I really thought I was going to get this game. I was like you and never played the first one much, well besides for a couple of minutes when my brother got it.

What stopped me from getting 2 was when I realized how much crafting id be doing, well kind of. Mainly I refrained because I don’t normally enjoy games that keep me on edge. Running around at night in this game would surely be stressful at times. Plus I heard of some bugs and possible issues with save files getting corrupted if you play co-op. I think I might play this game down the road if I can get it for super cheap, but not at launch. The parkour looks so awesome.

Horizon Forbidden West is what I cannot wait to play. Some crafting in that too, but hopefully not quite as much. I like the looks of the world a lot more, so colorful and bright. Nothing to scare me 🤣 I ain’t afraid of no robo-Dino.

I actually just got Biomutant for only $20 today. I think that’ll hold me over until Horizon. I know you played Biomutant before and didn’t really like it… I hope my opinion is different. I looks so damn cool to me. About to start it now.

Is the crafting aspect something new in this one? The first one had crating as well but it was just at the click of a button. Choose the item to craft and then it's made in like a second. I played around 80 hours of the first one and the crafting barely takes up time.

Just saying this cause it's a shame you're skipping it for that when I'm not sure it will be the case. It would be a really weird addition to the game seeing as this one is all about that parkour and zombie slaying. Could be wrong though.

Main reason for me not buying it is having to run around at night to get some of the best stuff. Even if it’s not totally horrifying, it’s still just not as chill as some other games are to me. Having to craft a bunch of stuff to survive isn't the worst thing ever, I’ll admit that. I'm not sure if I like how weapons break either. It could be good bc you are encouraged to use a variety of weapons, but would also suck to lose a really awesome weapon that you love. I guess I just didn’t ever play the first one so I really don’t know what I’m missing out on with 2.

I haven't really done much crafting in the game so far, except for some first aid stuff. The night is super stressful and gets pretty crazy. Luckily you don't seem to lose any loot when you die because I have died a lot so far. I am still trying to get used to the whole rooftop traveling aspect of this because the streets are way too deadly at night. So far I am enjoying it though.

I bought Biomutant at launch and hated that game. It just seemed so incompetent because the world was so big and empty.

I'm sure crafting isn't something you have to do nonstop. I just want my health to regenerate without me having to think about it... rather than find bandages or whatever and craft a med-kit. Just me complaining, I've enjoyed games where I’ve had to do exactly that.

I’m finishing up the tutorial for Biomutant now, so I’ll have to see if it gets good to me. If not, I have 7 days to get a full refund for it 😎

Biomutant started out kind of cool, but it went downhill fast. It was pretty slopping with animations and lacked any content in the world. Maybe they patched it and made it a bit better.
