This is no way a full review, as I am only about 8 hours in and not even halfway through the game. But damn, I am seriously loving this game. The fact that you can customize your chest rig, backpack and guns in such detail makes this game super addictive. It is almost a mini puzzle how you set up your chest rig and backpack each time you get new story items or buy a new gun. If you are careful, you can customize them to be super tactical and efficient. Or you can just throw random holsters and pouches to make them super cumbersome to use during missions.

In my 8 hours of gameplay on Ps5pro, except for the weird foliage flickering, which was patched out almost right away. I am facing next to no bugs. The game runs super smooth and visually everything looks so crisp.

There are so many meaningful improvements ITR2 has over ITR1 visually, gameplay mechanics and enemy designs, that I don’t think I can go back to playing the first one again.

I will definitely put out my final impressions after beating the game. So far, Into The Radius 2 is my psvr2 game of the year for 2026.

This is only the first 15 minutes of almost an hour long stream, as Reddit does not allow longer videos. BUT Dw, you can watch the full video of me getting to shipwreck on YouTube, right here:

After drinking the poison at the end of chapter 3, you wake up by the Alter at Riverlands and start chapter 4. Chapter 4 is called “Locals” because your main goal in this chapter is to trade with the locals, learn to communicate with them and earn their trust.

First thing you should do right after waking up by the alter is to burn the roots of the giant tree to create the shortcut from Riverlands to the beach. It’s quite easy, the giant tree is only feet away from the alter, and the roots already covered with dry woods and kindle, all you have to do is create some sparks and the tree will fall creating a giant ramp from Riverlands to the beach. You will also earn the trophy called “timber” after creating the shortcut.

Shortly after creating the shortcut and roaming around the Riverlands, you will encounter the locals. Once they reveal themselves to you, do not attack them or reach for your weapons. They are only here to say hi and leave.

After meeting the locals, your next goal is to start trading with them using the alter. So everyday leave something useful such as cooked meat, Jems, water bottle etc on the alter and in return the Locals will leave something useful for you. Trade with them every day for next 3 to 4 days to unlock the “talking Stick”

Once you unlock the talking stick, trade a pistol with them for it. Always keep the talking stick handy when roaming around the island, soon they will come and teach you how to say “hi” using the talking stick. Here is a quick tip on how to use the talking stick, don’t shake it when you are mimicking their movement, just hold it in place and wait for the hiss sound and the green cloud.

After you learned to say hi, they will teach you another way of saying hello, mimic their movement to unlock the “Wood Sling”.

After unlocking the wood sling, next time the locals come to meet you and start communicating with you using the talking stick. A cutscene will trigger where one of the local gets shot by an arrow and dies. Then the local who shot the arrow will throw a stone at you hinting where you can find him.

You are at the end game now, you can directly go where the stone hinted and take on the last boss. Or you can wait, do some more trading with the locals to unlock the bow and arrow then take on the last boss. I decided to go straight where the stone hinted.

The last boss is located near the giant Bap bap tree, where you drank the poison to complete chapter 3. Once you are near the boss location, find a cave to sleep and save your progress. Take on the boss early in the morning, as later during the day it might rain, and in the rain you can’t use your guns.

Once you get near the boss area, you will see the local who threw the sone at you will be sitting in the middle of that area, on a rock. Once you get close to him, he will shoot an arrow in the sky and start the fight.

He will be running around everywhere and shooting arrows at you. Dodge those arrows and wait for him stop for a brief moment. Once he stops, just shoot him. Do that for 3 to 4 times and he will start charging at you with an arrow, just shoot him once he is close. Do that for about 2 times and he will die.

Congratulations, you just completed the game and you are no longer afraid of the dark. Means no longer the darkness itself is going to kill you at night. So making a fire is optional. Also pick up the bow and arrow that final boss dropped. It’s yours now

The end! 🥳

Seriously addicted to this game. 15 hours in and still not done with the story.

Not surprised by these results.
