Did paying a few bucks in the cash shop give you a sense of pride and accomplishment?

Lots of things are not necessary and are bad for the climate. You likely enjoy many of them. You start by reducing your own consumption.

Video games are not a necessity, it’s a luxury that you feel entitled to because of your privilege

I liked the first game a bit more from story/characters perspective. It has more heart, even though it goes overboard with the satire (but that has its own charm too). Second game has much better gameplay (though changes are still rather incremental) and interesting factions. Planets/areas are better designed too, though still far from what other games have (exploration aspect was the weakest part of TOW1 and the second game is only somewhat better). But the main story and characters are not as good as in the first one.

That’s justified by its setting I think.

TOW1 is set in the failing hyper-capitalist colony that had quite a few of setbacks and catastrophes in the past and people are being exploited to death in the final push before final collapse when the leadership and the upperclass finally call it quits.

Arcadia system in TOW2 is a home to a “communist utopia” that far more advanced technologically than the rest of the colonies. It’s been ravaged by war but the former glory still remains.

Though personally I didn’t notice much difference in the art style. I guess it has more graphical fidelity because of better shaders or something? I also heard that the first game looked different before Spacer’s Choice edition and people complained about the changes, I’m curious how it stacks up against TOW2.
