Well, six years later, someone has clearly opened their wallet. In other words, Mortal Shell 2 is mostly everything you want from a sequel: bigger, more content-rich, more practical, and more ambitious in every respect. The emphasis is mostly on the good, because with a bigger budget and bigger ambitions, Cold Symmetry managed to expand almost every good part of the original while also keeping a few problems that I had hoped they would leave behind in 2020.

Death Howl sits right on the line between a very good game and a great game, but I lean more toward the former. The combat system and card crafting are fantastic and are the main reasons I enjoyed the game. If you like card games, you will like this one.
