Layers of Fear 2 can be a tough act to sit through. On one hand, a macabre depiction of one's past and how its unsettling memories can invade one's life is portrayed beautifully in each room of the sprawling ship. But with a lack of a solid identity in how it wants to characterize these emotions makes it a hard sell to press forward. Regardless, I feel that persevering through and reaching the final conclusion is worth the step backs. Take Layers of Fear 2's amazing attention to detail but sluggish pace with a grain of salt: open your mind, let the darkness seep in, and drudge forward, and you'll find a satisfying, albeit head scratching piece of horror.
