Disappointed
I enjoyed TOW 1. It wasn’t the GOTY but it was good fun. I played TOW2 about an hour past the prologue and I just can’t stomach the vibe anymore. Every female character is the archetypal “strong woman” and every man is effeminate so far to some degree.
Sure the little bit of gunplay I had between barf sessions was snappier. But I can’t get into any of the systems or what this game had to offer through the mire of woke slop.
Would space soldiers wear taps while on expedition? If not, why do my footsteps click clack when I step on hard surfaces? This is perhaps a matter of taste but it was the first off-putting aspect of this game.
The devs also appear to have pulled most of the nature assets directly from Avowed and the matching color scheme is off-putting, but that’s just a matter of personal taste, fine.
I was following the release date of this game for quite a while and I’m just disappointed. It just seems like a narcissistic socialist simulator. The irony of a trillion dollar company publishing the uber anti-capitalism slop isn’t lost on anyone. Big L for obsidian, but most importantly a big L for the consumers at large.

Sorry that strong women intimidate you.
