    There isn't as much emotional commitment here like in the first game, the graphics/art style is improved but the game is repetitive and not that memorable, play the first instead!

    First Shelter had a touching "story" and was divided into levels, this one has practically non-existent story and an open world. You run around and hunt rabbits (and sometimes deer, rats or frogs) to feed your cubs, collect sticks, flowers and feathers and that's basically it. No scripted events, no running from fire, no memorable moments, which is a shame.

Of course you get attached to your kids and when something happens to them, you feel sad, but it's not as strong as in the first part. Game has a very calming soundtrack and unique visual style so it sounds and looks well. It's not as good as the first one, but still entertaining. Expand

    It s unique sure a nice and elegant touch of adventure in a open world but driven my monotony in no change in gameplay takes away the interest alltogether

    Shelter 2 is pretty much a happening like the first game, but this time around, it is a mature work of art that has a clear idea at its core.

    A game both lovely and flawed. Just as its predecessor, Shelter 2 is a moving, beautiful experience. It's also a bit too simple and short. The open world is a wonderful addition, but why is there so little to do in there? [Apr 2015]

    In some ways, Shelter 2 improves on its predecessor, but its brevity and lack of depth make it much weaker than the first overall.
