I backed it on Kickstarter, so I'm obviously biased, but I'm super excited for this one.

The boating sections in the first game weren't that long and it had a fast travel mechanic

Stuck in the 1920s and using a firearm to maintain basic survival in a sinking city.

As a New Orleans resident - I am living that game everyday.

I had the first game on my wishlist for a while but never pulled the trigger. How good was it?

Picked this up after looking into it due to this thread.

Think I’m about halfway through. It’s been a pretty serviceable survival horror game. Enemy variety is a little lacking but it’s a cool premise. The hospital area was a fun place to explore.

The combat can be a little clunky. I’ve largely gotten used to it, but if you get caught in a bad spot, it’s hard to recover. Those goatse looking monsters that split their heads open can frick all the way off.

ETA: The fish market turned into a bit of a slog with the enemy volume. I was reeling by the end of that section. Ammunition and curatives were running LOW.

I thought for certain that was going to be the end of the game, but looks like I've still got a little ways to go yet.

The first game was a really janky investgation/detective game, with some not great combat thrown in. If you're a big Lovecraft fan, enjoy detective games (searching for clues at a scene to piece together what happened), and don't mind the jank, reused assets for a lot of building interiors, etc. I think it's definitely worth the usual sale price of less than $10.

The second game has a different main character and story and although I think there are some easter eggs, the two stories aren't really related. So from story aspect, you can definitely skip 1.

As for gameplay, 2 is described as RE2R-lite. They've stripped out a lot of the investigation/detective components and it plays more like a standard survival horror game with RE-esque puzzles.
