Went from Slaying the princess to laying her with the ending I got

The entire game felt like I was on drugs and I love it.

Before I start ranting about the disappointments I'll give credit where it's due
Technically the game is great graphics,visuals,
Environmental destruction all are amazing
The ashtray maze was just chef's kiss.

Now Look I really wanted to love this game based on all the positive reviews i heard but man is this game repetitive af like there are no end to the enemies even if you activate a checkpoint and come back to it the enemies spawn near the checkpoint like why there's no reason for it as there's no exp system to level up and moneys not a problem it's just annoying.

The gunplay is good especially with the ps5 triggers it's sounds and works satisfyingly but again the repetitivenes gets it too.

The story and characters are well forgetful? Like every character we have met just gives you chores to do and don't add anything.the ending too was just so plain?

Sometimes short adventures like this are needed.

(Plot twist the game)
Oh boy where to start.well for starters it truly does live up to all its praises if not exceeds it.

The story:-
Man this was such a journey,It's no exaggeration to call this one of the best storys I have experienced in any medium Tho I can agree this game is not for everyone you either got to have a good memory to remember the all the events to link them together and understand the story or keep notes but damm is it worth it I had my mouth dropped so many times cause of the plot twists and the story is so well crafted for the way it conveys it linking things together as you figure out the story along with the characters
is just gold.in the ending when I saw the ending and reconstructed the story it was truly satisfying

The combat:-
Tbh I didn't think I would enjoy it at all from the trailers and reviews but God damn was I proved wrong.the combats like a rts tower defense but you have so many options with the meta system upgrades to your mech and team building.watching waves of enemies get obliterated will never not be satisfying.tho I did feel the Final battle was a little disappointing.

The ost is also really good especially area 2 wave 5

Final thoughts:you should give this game atleast a chance if u find it on a subscription service or smtg yes the first hour is confusing but it does get really good after that.

(Funny story:-as I was watching the ending the power cut so watched it on yt and the video length was 13mins so was my phones battery
You know 13 ppl and stuff haha....I'll leave sorry)

2016

Visual design and audio design are just marvelous.Beautiful game

Two things before the review:.ive never played the original and this is my first survival horror experience cause I've been too much of a baby till now so I may be a bit biased.

(Also I feel like this is a good game to start for newcomers like me)

First of all loved both the main characters
Carlos's bravado was fun. the games not very stingy with resources you just have to explore and backtrack a bit.
(For newcomers)
it dosent send u into full horror directly the starting areas are more tense than scary but it cranks up the scary meter after a few areas
But you would have gained some courage up to that point so it'll be fine(hopefully)

The soundtracks also nice especially when nemesis chases you it adds to the tension and the soothing sound of the safe rooms is just always delightful to hear.
also fuck the final boss fight I like it but fuck it.

Any tips I would give are:
You don't have to fight every enemy
Be tactfull with resources not stingy
Hit a dead zombie with the knife to sew if they are actually dead
And headshots don't hit anything except the head

Didn't think I would rate this game this high when i first started it but damm was i proved wrong.
The powers were the best part all of them while fundamentally being the same also feel so different
At the same time it's hard to explain,especially Neon if u have enough Karma points u can basically become
The flash running around the city for a infinite time.speaking of the Karma system the good Karma route adds
To the hero style like if u have high enough good Karma people stop being scared of u,cheering you after fights or
While walking Around and ritos about bio terrorists start gathering fewer people(minor spoiler)
even as far as turning on the military for u at the end.combat is good and reggie Is one of the best Brothers in gaming.
The stroy is quite forgetful tho

Love the old cartoony art,the constant flickering on the screen synchronizes with the artstyle so much.bosses are fun and have goofy animations all in all a great game.

Great sequel to the first game more challenging puzzles and improved mechanics also the mc relationship with glados was arguably the best part of the game

It's good,but feels more like a demo to Portal 2
Sound design is fantastic tho,honestly probably would have rated it higher if I didn't have crazy high expectations that's on me welp

The chrono trigger inspiration is good.it dosent let Any characters go unused feels like most characters we met along the way have some influence on the story and also brings them up in the later in the story.soundtrack is gold combat is fun beautiful artstyle

good atmosphere and puzzels are quite easy.hate the dogs tho these dogs are straight from some kind of souls game
