It took Resident Evil 16 years to go from innovative survival horror blueprint to cinematic action self-parody. Alone In The Dark did it in 1.
This game is absolutely awful and just miserable to play blind; many parts are still painful even with a guide. The whole thing revolves around guessing what the designer was thinking and avoiding constant softlocks.
That said, once you know exactly what to do, you can beat the whole thing in under 90 minutes and it turns into a comedy masterpiece. Dressing up as Santa to gun down mafia pirate zombies while listening to Donkey Kong Country-ass bops? Hell fucking yeah dude.

The PS1 version having actual textures but constant loading screens every 3 seconds (not joking) makes me sick to my stomach too.
@Spinnerweb I was able to make the PS1 version behave like a normal game by overclocking a bunch of settings in DuckStation! Waaaay too much effort for AITD2 though lol
