"Soldat 2 is the most difficult game I've ever made. Mostly because of the expectations I put on myself. I think if I just did the same thing with a bit more polished graphics and bug fixes most people would be happy. But I never go the easy route. So, there is an enormous amount of pressure I put on myself. I decided Soldat 2 has to be as good as the first one and even better. So, the same amount of fun is extremely hard to copy because I have to spend hours analyzing and playing Soldat 1 (I don't remember how most things were done, it was 18 years ago). And then, I have to top that with making practically every aspect of the game better, more polished, more fun".
