    What I find quite interesting is that sync is obviously very feature rich, it’s why it was many people’s preferred client.

    I just downloaded a few of the others and here’s a few things:

    • you can set different sort methods based on view. This feels important at the moment when communities are smaller. I have my subs set to New but Instance and All to something else
    • feed view customisations are super deep. Nice to have obviously but this is where all the inherited value from the old reddit app is
    • gesture navigation still feels better than all others but I might be biased because I’m used to it

    However, it’s undeniable that there are still some basic things it doesn’t handle perfectly. At the moment the perks outweigh the missing bits for me, BUT I found the pricing at launch to be optimistic at best, so like another commenter, I’m using the free version and blocking ads via Blokada and I’m happy enough

    It would be great if it did everything perfectly I agree but that’s true for all the apps rn

    Yeah I think that is the general sentiment on 2. I didn’t feel this way at all when I played it.

    I think the themes in 2 are so powerful and explored in interestin such interesting ways. It tackles growing up and responsibility but also obviously politics, protest, immigration, racism.

    True colours gets in to some of these more global themes too, albeit in a much narrower scope.

    I guess 2 was a lot more ambitious and clearly didn’t land for people as successfully

    I thought the writing was excellent, especially compared to the first game. It also had a bisexual storyline for what it’s worth but I generally thought it was such a great expansion of all their ideas.

    Also loved the free teaser game captain awesome, and how it crossed over into the main game.

    I feel like they really were stung by the overall reception of it, that we lost the storyline we’d have had if it had gone over well. I thought it was vastly superior personally. That said I’ve enjoyed all the games in the series. Before the storm feels janky at first but does have some decent writing in it also.
