I only just now heard about The Black Watchmen and I'm interested in joining in the fun, It's just that I missed season 1 entirely. I was wondering should I buy the season 1 puzzles that are being sold on steam, or should I just wait for season 2? Is there important information that I would be missing, would the fact the end of the world event already ended detract heavily from the content I can buy now, and would I be heavily disadvantaged going into season 2 by not playing any part of season 1? I was hoping to get your thoughts since you guys have already played the game.
As someone who bought the Season 1 missions a few weeks ago, I'd recommend it. It was hours of fun going through the missions, and it helped me relearn some of the basics to cryptography and problem-solving. The fun of the final mission to season one alone was worth the price of admission to me. Hope this endorsement helps you make your decision.
We don't have a lot of information about the plot of season 2, but I can tell you that the plot of season 1 was nicely contained, with only a few loose ends. I'd still suggest buying it as the puzzles are pretty fun, unless you are pretty tight one money. I can't really speak as to the effect of the "End of the world event" as I'm not entirely sure what you are talking about. There is also the fact that the live missions aren't replayable, however that was already factored in, ie, the price was dropped after they were over.
Well thanks for the input guys, I decided to get the Season 1 puzzles; wish me luck. Thanks for all the info.
I'm in the same boat as you, Gödel. I haven't regretted the purchase yet so hopefully you'll feel the same!
