    Not a fan of that Epic Games Store (semi) exclusivity deal.

    Offering a DRM-free version in addition to the Epic Store one is nice and all, but having it on Steam (on which games don't have to use any DRM either should the studio choose not to) would be much easier especially because of cloud saves and the Steam Deck.

    It's a skip for me (for now). Still an enjoyable game I'd guess if you don't care about Steam.

    Does anyone know how to report bugs for this? Because the Linux build is linked against libcurl-gnutls, but libcurl-gnutls is not included in the appimage...

    I had to unpack the appimage, and manually create a symlink to my system's libcurl to get it to run.

      They have an exclusive deal with Epic. So no Steam/GOG for the forseeable future. They say the game would not have happened wnthout the money from Epic.

      I guess the DRM-free version was the best deal they could get...

    'GamingTrend had an issue with the humour in Chapter 4, stating "this series of levels has what I would call three distinct right wing dog whistles, with jokes that feel mean spirited involving drag, homophobia, and fat-phobia".'

    I enjoyed the first one, hopefully this one is decent. I might wait until I can get more details on the above, though.

      If you haven't seen the first one, I can't imagine what sidereochronological phenomenon you've been lost in for the last decade and a half. It's a bridge-building game, but the bridge is made out of nodes of goo. The goo is both cute and not an ideal construction material.

    I loved the original game and was about to buy the new one, but I did not expect it to be $30. I'll wait for a sale.

      Likewise. I also have a glut of really cool new indie games from the last couple of months to catch up on.
