Critic Reviews
Curious Expedition 2 Review (PC)
Curious Expedition 2 can become an engrossing experience. Planning an adventure and then seeing how the plan survives contact with the procedurally generated level is very cool. Frantically searching for solutions when sanity is low and the objective is nowhere in sight can be thrilling. The game has all the gameplay tools required to keep players engaged. The quality of the overall experience is impacted by the limited appeal of the presentation. Combat can also become repetitive, with the dice system somewhat restrictive later on. Curious Expedition 2 is a good run-based title that will show-off the series to a wider section of gamers than the original, allowing them to go on complex resource-constrained adventures.

Curious Expedition 2 offers a customizable gaming experience that can be as casual or as hardcore as players like, with tons of content and options, many of which can be changed on the fly. The game is smooth and solid, and having so much randomly generated content (and so much content to pull from) ensures a different experience on every run-through, even if the gameplay loop gets a little stale sometimes. For a certainly fair price point, players are getting a game they can play a hundred times a hundred different ways. Some of the best games are the ones where developers simply create a space and let players play; Curious Expedition 2 does so wonderfully.
