  Overall, Unexplored 2: The Wayfarer's Legacy does what it sets out to do. It creates a genuine sense of adventure that is only intensified by its procedurally-generated structure. The game does have its issues, with combat that struggles to really make the player feel involved, but nonetheless it's an enjoyable experience.

  Crumbling doors Unexplored 2 tells me will buckle with sufficient force fail to react to any blow. The cave entrance in the tutorial section was half buried in a solid wall that visibly led nowhere. Getting lost once teleported my Wayfarer's icon to a void-like corner of the map.

  As it is, there are a lot of unique and cool mechanics in Unexplored 2: The Wayfarer’s Legacy, but the performance and the gameplay need some major tweaking for it to become truly engaging.

  Unexplored2 is an ambitious and interesting roguelike that falls short of what it could be. The unique Dungeons & Dragons inspired roleplaying system is let down by lacklustre combat feel and a litany of bugs that lead to frustration. I do think it’s a title that’s worth keeping an eye on though, as there’s a whole heap of potential resting just under the surface.

  Unexplored 2: The Wayfarer's Legacy is a fun and interesting take on roguelikes and survival games with a colossal amount of things to do and I know that a lot of people thoroughly enjoy it. However, there are just too many problems for me to overlook, especially the overbearing load times on PS4.

  Se da un lato abbiamo un ottimo comparto artistico, con una bella grafica dai colori pastello a impreziosire i livelli e una colonna sonora che supporta alla perfezione le atmosfere fantasy di Unexplored 2, dall’altro manca uno storytelling che possa stare al passo con la direzione artistica. Nonostante l’evidente sforzo di caratterizzare una moltitudine di NPC, lasciare che l’intero gioco (trama inclusa) sia generato proceduralmente è stato un enorme rischio. Ed è questo il bello e il brutto di questo gioco.
