I really wanted to like this game. I've seen it hailed as the spiritual successor to F.E.A.R., which, over 20 years later, is still the gold standard for gunplay amongst FPS games. And in some ways, it is. You have visceral combat against squads of enemy soldiers, slomo abilities, a great shotgun, flying leap kicks, and even horror elements. But the sum of Trepang2's parts just don't add up. Level design isn't …

I'm not going to write a negative review for like the only other game that made me relive the high of F.E.A.R., at least somewhat. Beggars can't be choosers. But my god, it is tempting. When this game works - it really works. The gun-fu dance with the regular grunts totally lives up to the spectacle of F.E.A.R., even if the AI part of the equation is not really there. All guns are sexy and punchy, gore has all the …

for a 30 dollar game, it's kinda lacking in content. the main campaign will take you around 4 hours, and those 4 hours are extremely good. It's not really the length that's the problem, just the density - how many times can you replay those 4 hours? And there's not really a reason to replay it beyond unlocking cosmetics. If there were a couple new weapon unlocks hidden away in the levels, it'd be absolutely worth …

Combat is sick, story is sick, soundtrack is sick, everything is sick. Emotional rollercoaster of a story combined with a combat you wont get bored of and quite a bit of challenge in it. Not enough people know this game for how good it is

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →On a more serious note, one of the things I really liked about Trepang2's worldbuilding was that it doesn't try to maintain the veneer of the masquerade that a lot of other urban fantasy or supernatural stories set in the modern or near-future try for. The paranormal is known, to the point that paranormal research is a field of study with doctorates. When Horizon is exposed, people don't flip out because they're doing paranormal research but that they're doing it in such a dangerous and…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When exploring and discussing games, comparison is inevitable. The phrase “Like Skyrim with guns” has done irreparable damage to the lowest common denominator of gaming discourse. That’s not to say that comparison isn’t a useful tool in criticism and conversation about games, just that comparison alone is both a narrow and shallow lens through which to view any work of art. Trepang² is one of the most “compared to” games I’ve ever seen. Its major inspirations are clear as day: 2005’s…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Trepang² is clearly shaped by the legacy of F.E.A.R., blending tight gunplay, reactive enemy AI, and tense close-quarters combat. It also borrows the relentless forward momentum of DOOM and the cinematic slow-motion style popularized by Max Payne. Rather than imitating these games, Trepang² refines their ideas into a focused, modern shooter built around speed, control, and impact. It’s a confident homage that understands exactly why those classics worked.

Trepang 2 is absolutely the same game as the developers advertised it to be its a combo between many fan favorites like Fear, Crysis, Doom 2016/Eternal (For the aggressive and fast paced gameplay), Max Payne (Gritty tone) and many more. Its obvious this is a labor of love and any praise showered here is not enough. While it is on the shorter side the 8 hours of gameplay it does offer still packs quite a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →------------------------------------------------------------------- You know what happens when the devs have fun? A game named literaly after a sea cucumber for no reason other than sounding cool, soundtrack that absolutely slaps and old school fast paced "just point and shoot" gameplay. That is Trepang². If you love Doom Eternal or Ultrakill you will like this one. Only downside (as of 23.08.2026): No Trepang³ (devs pls) -------------------------------------------------------------------…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First off, don't take my 'not recommended' as a harsh criticism: The game is functional, there's definitely polish here, and I didn't run into any really serious bugs. If you picked it up in a sale, you'll definitely get your moneys worth. However... At three or four missions in... ...it *really* wants to be FEAR and it's not. A lot of the level design feels weirdly of the era between Quake and Half-Life - oddly sterile corridors and tunnels which make little sense as anything other than…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is fun but is clearly unpolished, wierdly that the game has a broken keybind system (same complaints on here for 3 years + seems like). But the studio moved over to selling a DLC and season pass. Shame

neutral · AI labelView post →Comments like that don't have to mean the artist's work is unoriginal or entirely derived from something else. It can be a comparison to something else you've enjoyed or a mention of a niche that work might fit nicely in. You see it with video games all the time. For example someone might comment on how Trepang2 reminds them of FEAR. It's a more concise way of describing it as an action FPS with horror elements. It's not meant to belittle Trepang2.

Personally I loved the story, I never played any FEAR so I didn't have much stake in how it was 'supposed' to be or what not. I saw cool guys in quad nods an it was on sale, simple as that. If you've played any Titanfall the movement in the game might be a bit easier to get a grasp of. My first playthrough I finished it on very hard, which was…

neutral · AI labelView post →An absolute blast of a game. One of the greatest FPS titles ever made, taking its cues from F.E.A.R. A game that understood, on a spiritual level, what makes an FPS fun. When I play it, the world dissolves. Responsibilities? Gone. The endless screaming of modern life? Silenced. There is only movement, violence and an inexplicably profound sense of inner peace. It's soothing. Calming. Therapeutic. It makes me feel like everything will be okay. And then comes That Shotgun. It was made for Me.…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Trepang2 is a fine game, but it's combining DOOM and FEAR without understanding what makes either of those games work. The gunplay is good but the side missions that involve defending a terminal while you hack it are really boring. This game thrives in carefully crafted environments rather than smaller arenas since you get cool set pieces while also being able to sprint around like a maniac. Higher difficulties suffer from the exact same problems modern Wolfenstein games have, which is that…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Recommended Wanted an old school F.E.A.R. fix. Got way more than that. The gore's insane, and slowing time to watch it all hang in the air never got old. Best part is the enemies are scared of you. They panic, yell "where is he?!", call for backup while you pick them off. You're basically the horror movie monster. Story's short and thin but I didn't care. Get it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Literally the best game ever made. The soundtrack is 10/10 The game play is 10/10 The story is 11/10 Its hard to describe why the story so good without spoiling the game but I'll try. subject 106 (the protagonist) appears like a doom guy like, flat character at first, but the more you pay attention to the story the more you understand him. The story is has many layers and isn't what it seams at first, you could play the whole game and still not get it, but like in a good way. The…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Has nothing to do with sea cucumbers. Well, almost nothing. Trepang is essentially a love letter to the shooters of the early 2000s. it delivers some really great core gameplay, interesting level design and some of the worst bosses I have come across in gaming. Its closest analogue - and perhaps biggest inspiration - is the original F.E.A.R. title. Thankfully, Trepang avoids the trapping of losing its identity by imitating but not differentiating.

neutral · AI labelView post →This might be my favorite shooter ever. Trepang² takes back precision in favor of speed. It wants you to look past trying to line up each shot and instead slide all over the place. As 106, a super soldier, you want to be flashy, stylish, and most importantly, get close and personal. Cloak and bullet time, being the main mechanics of this game, allow you to play a lot more aggressively. These abilities are inherently designed to make you stay OUT of cover for longer. Bullet time allows you to…

After playing through ULTRAKILL, Ghostrunner, Doom 2016 and Eternal... this was just the next one in my catalog, and i sure as hell was NOT disappointed. as everyone summarizes it, this game is if Doom and F.E.A.R decided to have a child.

It has the world map, mission choices, target list and weapons unlocks. To me, that isn't necessarily an improvement, becasue I kind of expected a corridor shooter, but instread got a bunch of separate chunks with downtime in the base.
