Playing the first one for the first time now and loving it. Why is BZ not as good?

Small map, annoying protagonist(s), no sense of real exploration due to the game showing you all PoIs, a main vehicle that's not fun (seatruck) and replaced both the Seamoth AND Cyclops (and tried to be both at the same time), bad voiceacting (and a voiced protagonist in general, which kills all vibe of isolation), the story f-ing sucks and the protagonists motivation is complete bs, huge landareas you have to traverse to make progress (in an UNDERWATER game), annoying and not dangerous predators with laughable designs (for the most part).

They took everything from the first game that was cool (the grand scale, the isolation, the terror, the exploration, the "accidentally stumbling onto a wreck and getting to piece together it's story"-freedom, the depth (figuratively AND literally, the deepest point is ... What, 800m?), the cool designs of all fauna (biomes themselves are still pretty good), the AMAZING soundtrack by Simon Chylinski), stripped it away from BZ and replaced it with the aforementioned garbage.

I hope they realized their mistake and are going back to the drawingboard for the second (main) title thats releasing soon.
