Flawed, but insanely ambitious by PS1 standards and admirably varied, Overblood 2 almost entirely forgoes the survival horror-esque atmosphere and gameplay of the first in favor of a crazy 3D platformer action-RPG immersive sim-type thing clearly aping Final Fantasy VII in many ways. The game feels like a hodgepodge of unfocused ideas, sure- and it doesn't run very nice for a PS1 game and the story isn't going to captivate you despite its grand scope, but damn if this isn't a fun PS1 curio that surprised me with what it had to offer.
