The Tar Pit - Main Chat

I feel like this game is king of the second wind. I’ve spoken to so many people who liked it when they played it initially but didn’t delve too deep or get too far and then on second attempt fell in love with it.

I haven't spoken to many people who played it at all, now that I think about it.

I think for me, when I played it first it wasn't like any other game I was into. It seemed to be more about traversing rough terain than action. And when action did come into it, it heavily encouraged pacifism rather than killing. Which kind of put me off at first because I didn't wanna get used to something new, so I just avoided mule and terrorist camps. 
But the second time around I actually found it really fun to storm an enemy base with some new equipment and finding what ways I liked to take enemies on the best. But I'll admit that towards the end I pretty much only relied on the non lethal assault rifle. 

I'm still not 100% sure what was going on with the story but I think I wrapped my head around it just enough to not be frustrated by it

That was pretty much the same as me. I used to race through the mule and terrorist camps until I had unlocked the non lethal assault rifle. Second time round I just opted to ram them all down with the truck Grand Theft Stranding style. Those roads needed those ceramics and I was terrible with the Bola.
