It's one of very few titles that can successfully push me towards regular use of items instead of hoarding them "just in case". This game will not be kind to you if you'll just try to breeze through blasting without second thought but it will give you the tools to survive if you cooperate. It's especially important if you're try to go for all objectives on each stage as these can be a bit tricky at times (nothing too crazy though).

I really like it so far, both in terms of gameplay and story. Can't wait to see what awaits me later.

Whenever I want to play something but don't have the brain power to deal with Reverse Collapse, this is my go-to at the moment. Still plays great and the loop is just as addicting as it's always been. I honestly didn't expect to like and stick with these games as long as I have.

The only thing I dislike about TD2 is how manhunts, (side?) story segments about various mooks, can't be played in their full form. You can only go through a simplified versions of them which cut off some of the presentation and narrative parts. It's not as bad as vaulting in Destiny but it's a crappy half-measure to... I don't really know. I never looked into how the devs explained this decision but it sucks.

Still, outside of this one issue the game is still great and I don't regret spending my time with it.
