/vr/ - Retro Games

what went wrong?

when the start of the metal age was announced at the end of T1, the new industrial setting appeared really promising. we saw garrett walk off into an industrial wasteland, that largely preserved the aesthetic of the city as seen in the first game. if T2 had allowed us explore that kinds of places, it would have been great.

instead, we got mission after mission where every room was an identical looking mechanist steel box, with the same boring rubber mats strewn about for maximal gameyness. and every mission was filled with the same boring robots, with the same cringy steampunk designs. the only missions in T2 I actually enjoyed were Shipping and Blackmail, and even those were partially ruined by some odd design desicions.
