Having really enjoyed Part One of the Shipwrecked series I was super excited about Part Two. Shipwrecked Part Two scales up the action and threat level extremely well and is definitely a more challenging adventure and I think most players will feel a greater sense of satisfaction for emerging victorious.
Part Two of the series continues most of the things I really liked about the first installment. The use of art and maps is excellent, the quality of the writting is outstanding, and the the level of challenge and reward are scaled extremely well for the PC level.
Having said that, and it is an objectively good adventure, in my opinion Part Two is not as full an experience as Part One. The bulk of the adventure is moving from one combat encounter to the next with NPC interactions bookending the adventure proper, this goes back to more traditional solo adventure territory for me where there is very little that feels like 'roleplaying' or world building and more traditional mechanical gaming.
Overall I did enjoy the adventure and it still remains good value for money, if you played the first adventure buy and play this one as a second installment, if not (and this should be obvious) get the first one first :)
