as a farming veteran i wanted to love the sequel, but right now it plays a little too close to the first. same core of plant, wait, harvest, chase mutations. the economy is fresh which is nice if you missed getting in early on the original, and theres promise here. but it hasnt carved out its own identity yet. if youre already deep in the first game theres not a strong reason to switch. patient 3, ill check back as it grows.
