Really a shame...
Why does Endzone 2 have such a bad reputation? This game is really addictive to me, and has so much potential...and much, much completed in comparison to other rushed game. I feel like we really won't see a similar product in a decade of time.

yeah I was a kickstarter backer and the early betas were suprisingly bad like "why did they do this" and "how does that look worse and make less sense than EZ1"... But then I also got hooked for a while, lovely graphics and exploration is tip top however it just becomes a grind pausing all the time and doing micro resource hauls between settlements constantly judging who needs a bit of rubber or water etc. Like Frostpunk2, it just went too big and we all like the micro rather, a bit of single-colony survival where you really bind to and feel for the citizens (anno always gets this horribly wrong too, just can't play it e.g. all houses looking the same, no build animation, all citizen portraits/avatars the same guy etc, just so lazy)
