While it still had it's thrills in certain sections the sequel was a downgraded experience for me. The combat for the most part feels serviceable, with enemies posing less of a challenge. The particle effects are lot less prominent and the sound effects are not that satisfying to hear. The atmosphere feels mostly gone too, due to the absence of strong shadows, and good lightning. It has such a brown/yellow-ish tint to the overall look of the game as well, which made the visual look a lot flatter. Only during the school section did it actually feel scary like the first two. On the other hand, the story feels the only aspect that feels intact, continuing naturally and being told more traditionally. The ending was something else.

Overall, it felt like a mixed bag.
