In an effort to understand the development team responsible for creating the SH2 remake, I gave Bloober’s highest-praised release a shot. It’s actually not half-bad, but maybe third-bad. The best parts were exploring the scenes and doing the detective work, as easy as it was. There’s a intriguing unnerving edge and setting throughout the game, and interesting story-telling devices are present such as talking to the concealed residents and more. However, the typical “Bloober” nightmare sequences are quite horrible, and not scary or fun, but given the context I suppose it’s a pass (or an excuse). Overall, glad I experienced it.
