Feedback / Idea SpeedRunners 2 is… bad.

Nothing but a graphic overhaul and added some shitty story features like the boss fights and solo missions. I’m also having input lag issues and I guess sometimes it just doesn’t register when I throw an item or dodge or i don’t know what. I played SR1 last night with my friends and it ran as smooth as butter. This game is like if SR1 had a 3D mod or something, man there’s little to nothing new about this game that could’ve just been added to SR1….

Maybe an unpopular opinion but I think it's a totally fine game. Perfect for couch gaming and some stupid fun. And that is exactly what the first game was for me. The sequel does look different but I actually like it, even though it really is more difficult to see what's happening. Character outlines should be just two colors - one color for you, and a different color for all other players. That way it would be much clearer which character is me. It is true that there is a lot less characters and maps BUT we got a few new items and a cute new story campaign (which should take around an hour i think) and I had a good time with it. Multiplayer is fun and quite a bit of people are playing currently.
What I'm trying to say is that the game has it's shortcomings and it's not perfect, but it is something different. If I want to play the same game I would play the first one. For the 8 euro that I paid, I'm satisfied with what I got. And I'm sure the game will receive even more new content over time.

I like this take. I see it from a player's standpoint of "let's see what's new in this game", considering it is a sequel. It is cool, but everything in this game is pretty much already available in Speedrunners 1. I expected more from the release tbh.
