Imported from my Backloggery: (In Water Ending)
I enjoyed thinking about SH2 way more than I enjoyed playing it. There's a staggering amount of depth when it comes to atmosphere, visual design, storytelling, and much more. That being said, actually PLAYING the game was rough. The survival horror mechanics were rudimentary, and I had much less trouble in this game than SH1. I ended the game with 300+ pistol, 100+ shotgun, and 60+ rifle ammo. The game was stupidly easy. I was just never scared, which definitely dampened it for me.
