i simply bought the game on gog, hated the game, refounded, got key on steam from friend who liked my PC1 series

i liked the 1st Punch Club
great fighting tycoon game focused on FIGHTING part
a lot of training to keep maintaining form, but with all the holywood people just take high stats of athletes for granted

Anyway 2nd game is absolute crime
your mom don't let you cook food for yourself half of the time
you must work 2 or 3 jobs constantly
its very easy to run out of money and hunger leaving the game Semi-locked and you have to restart the game
to hopefully trigger another fail-prevention
i never needed Mick food in 1st game, i had no idea he can feed me before i saw speedrun

Story: slow, boring a lot of tinfoil people and dumb dialogues
1st game was way more witty and less one trick with the humor
Punch Club 2 is still great game, you just should buy on sale and have expectations low

great simulator made to waste some time. could definitely benefit from cheats/new game plus, i wanted to go back for 100% but i don't wanna grind all the way back up.

Definitely recommend if you enjoyed the first, pretty grindy but I didn't find it un-enjoyable at any points.
