Why didn't they require a PSN account on release? Did they think it would impact the sales? How did they think it wouldn't cause an issue single digit months after launch???

I haven't put a lot of time into the sequel compared to the original, but Sony trying to get more data to leak and potentially alienating players in countries where PSN isn't a thing, while also providing no context for why other than "security" really makes me curious who thought this was a good idea.

I am seriously contemplating requesting a refund at this point.

Edit: Sony has doubled down and has removed the game from being sold in all countries that it doesn't offer PSN accounts.

Edit: RL Major Order: Completed, next Major Order: Half of Super Earth is locked out from Helldiving!

Edit: Keeping the original text for posterity. I do recommend the game from my time playing.

If you enjoy a mostly laid back but not 100% accurate representation of a Nuclear Reactor then this is definitely the game for you. It doesn't have much in longevity, in my opinion. I find myself reverting to my "safety save" quite often and things are still buggy at times, but it is definitely a more satisfying experience for those who are interested.

Edit: Definitely still worth buying if you have an interest in nuclear reactors and their operations especially with the new additions involving chemicals and additional changes to make the experience more authentic to an actual reactor operator, overall realism has gone up significantly, definitely still enjoy.

Edit 2: I posted a reply to a negative review regarding the new DLC being essentially P2W. The comment was deleted and disabled on the review, I welcome constructive criticism.

"The DLC is purely to support the Developer and has no noticeable impacts to gameplay as the emergency generators are only used in the most dire of situations such as when you are unable to generate power yourself during a shutdown AND if the city can't sell you power (dirt cheap at ~10 prestige points per day).

I would prefer that the Dev offer ways to support the project that don't have in-game effects outside of decoration or special trophies such as the sponsor boards listing usernames.

As for "anything you paid for can and will be patched out" this is an in-dev game by a singular person and has only gotten better with each new iteration, I believe that I have gotten more than my moneys worth even having bought it at full price.

Overall this project is being handled very well and the dev, being a single person, is doing a great job with developing this game."

It's okay.
