    I think Below Zero was made by a (mostly) different team, which could explain at least some of the differences. I wonder who will be working on this new one.

      One thing that is very noticeable is that the sound/music design. The original designer isn’t working at Unknown Worlds anymore after making some very regrettable comments on social media and I’m not expecting him to come back. As a result Below Zer0’s sound design was OK but pales in comparison to the amazing atmosphere that was set in the original game. Unless they manage to find a very talented sound designer it might miss the mark again.

        Yeah, that was a pity. I agree that guy did great sound design for the first game, but great art doesn’t make up for the harmful societal views he supported. I don’t think I would want to work with him, either.

        Man, what is it with people being wholly unable to shut their trap on social media?
