This should be the standard for sequels. It fixed a lot of the issues and improved the strengths from the first game. Tons of replay value and a truely unique aesthetic. But sadly in the end it falls short of actual long term gameplay. It's comparable to games like sudoku. If you know the game and are happy with the simplicity you'll be happy, but don't expect anything deep. Though it might be the kinda game we all need these days. Just something simple to take the edge off.

Reus 2 is a better sequel to Reus than most sequels are to anything. Lots of games, especially nostalgic properties, just get sequels for the sake of making sequels. Reus 2, however, exists to be the Reus that the original Reus was not. I considered the original Reus to be an excellent puzzle game. Upon hearing about Reus 2, I was a little afraid that the changes the developers would make to the core gameplay would be too fundamental and detract from the original vision of Reus 1. I couldn't be any more wrong. The original game was balanced, but Reus 2 FEELS balanced. I accepted Reus 1's time limit and greed system as "just how Reus works," but Reus 2 shows us that neither of those things were necessary to make a beautiful, stimulating puzzle game. I think I know how the first blacksmiths felt when finding out they could extract iron from rocks. They were definitely fans of the rocks, but the SEQUEL to rocks is so much better for... well, everything. Reus 2 is so good that it almost makes Reus 1 obsolete. Almost.

You might notice that I returned this game, but I'm still recommending it. Why? Well the reason for that is simple. This game is great at what is does, but what is does is not what I wanted out of it. You use 3 gods to interact with a world. You create biomes, have people settle into villages, and progress through the ages. This sounds like a God game + colony sim, right? Wrong! This game is a puzzle game first and foremost. This is a city builder the same way Dorfromantik is a city builder. You are placing minerals, plants, and animals that each have adjacency bonuses based on what is placed next to them and you are trying to optimize each village to complete objectives for them based on their ideals that you chose when you placed the village. You have a limited number of moves until the current era ends and if you have not optimized your villages(s) enough, then the game ends. Just like running out of tiles in Dorfromantik. I want to reiterate that this game is great, if you are looking for a game that is like if a 2D Civ game was Dorfromantik-ified. I wanted a game that was a Colony sim God Game like Black and White 2. This is not that

I don't remember exactly what I disliked about Reus 1 since it was so long ago and I haven't re-played it, but I think it was because the game felt like it should be turn-based but was real-time instead. Whatever the case, Reus 2 seems to fix it. I'm rather enjoying this. It's a very good puzzle-strategy game. Feels like something that could be a single player boardgame, but still feels more at a home as a digital game. I would love for some QoL and UI improvements, but still - it's already an interesting game that I find easy to recommend.

Quick explanation of the "Product received for free" tag: As a playtester I had temporary access to free keys during the closed alpha playtest and the closed release sprint playtest periods. I will also be receiving a free key to the Supporter's Pack when it comes out. Upon release, I paid for the base game, however. With that out of the way, this is probably my favorite puzzle game ever. It's very simple to start out, and honestly plays quite like a Eurogame - you have "game pieces" (biotica) that you place in certain "regions" (cities) on the "board" (planet) and when you place them, you score "victory points" (prosperity) and after you've placed a certain number, the game ends and you score those points. Where Reus 2 really shines is in the interactions between these biotica, known as symbioses. In the original Reus, one of the most complex, "reserved for the final unlocks" symbiosis type was "for each different adjacent type (animal/plant/mineral)". In Reus 2, there's an animal with this symbiosis unlocked from the beginning of the game, and the symbioses only get more creative from there. A couple of favorite symbioses: "+X for each grass in this biome; +Y% for each unique grass in this biome", "+X/+Y/+Z if there are A/B/C trees in this biome", "+2 wealth per adjacent science", "+X for each unique adjacent gem". Another part of Reus 2 that really improves the replayability is the meta-progression. Like in the original Reus, you will unlock new biotica to play with as you keep playing the game, but you'll also unlock new giants, new biomes, longer games, new starting leader types (leader types influence what kinds of biotica your cities want in their borders, and your starting city's leader type provides a unique planet-wide bonus), and even new mechanics that slightly tweak the way the game is played, such as micros, emblems, and terrain features. One final note, which isn't related to the gameplay at all, is that Abbey Games and Firesquid have both been an absolute joy to work with through the entire playtest process. The communication all around has been fantastic, and the monks at Abbey Games have been pushing out nearly daily patches these past few weeks for us to test. There's been a lot of negativity surrounding game developers and publishers these past few years, but all of these folks are top notch.
