Probably a better game than PL season 1, but the "legacy" phenomenon regarding Pandemic wore off for me a bit in Season 2, which is the reason for the slightly lower rating. PL2 produced some widely varied experiences according to reviews and playthroughs that I read, plus my 3 attempts, with different groups, were all unique. Some people found the game depressingly difficult while others breezed. I thought the game was more challenging than PL1 and it required a more coordinated and well-thought-out plan of action in order to succeed. That is what I liked about this game over Season 1, the moments where my team and I poured over the situation and really was able to put our heads together to solve the current problem. PL 1 was a lighter game. Nonetheless, both are excellent and I certainly will grab Season 3 when it is released.

Incredibly tense, and the "your fate depends on the shuffle" element of vanilla pandemic is everpresent and even magnified. The overall idea and narrative is great, but some of the details are problematic. Overall, I enjoyed the play and would possibly recommend it to others (but not blindly), but there were some real annoyances while playing that could be dealbreakers. There are definitely points in the game where the outcome is completely out of your hands, due to the game not having many ways to mitigate luck of the draw, and the steep death spiral starts (and ends) quickly. There are ways to mitigate the luck, but that depends on how well your group is doing and it's possible to exhaust those methods, leaving future months more random. Oddly enough, I'm not sure that "fun" is the word I would use to describe it, because it feels almost like push-your-luck in trying to rack up achievements before time runs out. That being said, there are lots of fun moments talking about how Washington is threatening to infect the whole country.

Left a lot lacking after season 1, but it can be tough to top something so great. Felt that the story telling fell short of season 1, but gameplay was still good
