As every other review has said. Needs some optimization and UI/game changes. The devs are at least aware of this and are actively working on it. So I will give a positive for now.

My first run took 2 hours! Absolutely incredible experience! Loved it to bits!

The music's/ambience is great!

The atmosphere and oppressive nature of the narrative dig in as you press on. Also shout out to the design of the UI, love it when a UI can accommodate for any sort of shenanigans one can throw at it with increasingly complicated synergies.

I'm somewhat reminded of the TTRPG Heart: The City Beneath. For those who liked that, you might enjoy this as well if you're a card game enjoyer.

I'm having a good time with it, but I can understand the frustrations of not living up to the first one.

Loved the concept, found the story somewhat typical for the building blocks that were used but not necessarily a bad thing.

Main characters performances were great! I'm not entirely sure what was up but some of the side characters had somewhat stiff facial expressions, possibly the cheeks barely moving, could very well be something else causing me to see them that way. Just found it slightly strange compared to the excellent facial animations of SH2.

Enemy variety could use some work. Technically there are already quite a few enemy variants if you consider the enemy morphing mechanic but it's also discouraged since you want to take them out before that happens. If anything I think a stalker type enemy could work well for this game.

While I didn't have an issue with it, I saw others mentioning inventory management. If one is not used to survival horror then you will struggle managing all the items with your limited inventory, Best advice I can give is to store the bolt cutters and bullets, you can always go back for them when they're needed. Possibly having an option to have an expanded inventory might help for newcomers, something like what Signalis added.

Music and Atmosphere were all excellent! I've said it before but Bloober team's environment artists are all cracked and some of the best in the industry and being able to roam these immaculately carved environments to an incredible soundscape is just divine.

Bosses were alright. There were some bosses that were reused but slightly altered, some with more unique mechanics. The final boss slapped! and was everything I want from a final boss in any game.

There's some replayability as well with a new game+ mode and a harder difficulty. Personally I think the harder difficulty should have been available from the start

TLDR: A modern horror classic bar a few hiccups and an identity evolved, morphed from the remains of Dead Space and Silent Hill.

Having a good time!

I feel like one's perception of the game will be heavily influenced by if you're playing with friends as well as which servers you're playing on. Honestly the servers I've been on have been mostly peaceful. Seeing as the devs are still working on the game I'm certain a lot of the issues will eventually be fixed but this is worth it even just for the single player experience.

I'm a complete dunce cause I missed the tutorial on first trying out the game and was super lost. Tutorial was on the main menu which I completely missed! Other than that I Love the game so far in both its aesthetic and music. Would still like to see a minimap in the future eventually.

I enjoyed it, albeit not as much as the first one.

If you're a survival horror fan in any way then this is a good one to get!

Never before have I felt so much fear in rolling a biblically accurate dice in a late run. Feels like I'm bringing the hammer down on my space bar for some of those presses. Music is also banging!
