oof. well, i'd like to give it some more time before i decide how i feel about it, but the pc port is so poorly optimized and stuttery that i think i have to give this one a pass until i can pick it up on ps4 for cheap or something. first impressions, though? i made it about as far as meeting the first moebius dude at a safehouse, whereupon the game made it very clear that it was going for more of a tepid bethesda fallout + the last of us kind of thing than the first game's blistering survival horror madness. not so sure i'm into that. doesn't help that sebastian's voice actor is different and he has such a different look and vibe it's like a completely different character. same with kidman. like, i'd be down to play more and see what it has to offer, but... not like this. another time, perhaps. bummer.

well, almost a year later and i gave this one last try after discovering that the dxvk vulkan api completely alleviates its performance issues for me. played a bit... sank back into my chair while my eyes rolled up in my skull after sebastian said aloud to himself, while looking up at a window some footprints had led me to: "i should check around back and see where that window goes." so i did, and there was nothing. more talking to himself about finding his little daughter lilly. don't worry, lilly, i'm on my way. actually, i'm not, because i don't care anymore.

incredibly boring dad game. nowhere near as good as the first one. case closed.

Always been pretty confused by the reception for this game. Are we really this starved for passable horror games?

it's mystifying! the first game felt driven by a mad fervor, while by contrast 2 feels like the design by committee version. soulless. there are absolutely better horror games to play.

Way late response but this pretty much sums up my feelings after having beaten it, kinda sticks to that tone beginning to end. Just a completely different kind of manufactured feeling that I didn't care for at all, missed that mikami shit. Dialogue stayed groan inducing to the end and the weird gucci lookin ass villains didn't do it for me ESPECIALLY the one that literally looks identical to the fucking gman

it's such a bummer, like imagine there being a really boring sequel to killer7. such a tragedy.
