Game's StrengthsGame's Weaknesses
  • voice actors do an amazing job
  • cg is well illustrated
  • sound is on point
  • interesting glances into the minds of characters
  • bringing each character to life
  • further escalated my sense of struggle as I watched these newfound friends gruesomely die yet again
  • grotesque for the sake of grotesque
  • watered-down writing
  • reliance on cg
  • exploration is now a button press
  • travel has dragged to a snail's pace
  • point-and-click elements just feel shallow
  • limited to just one picture
  • less gameplay-oriented than the first game
  • all of the game's chapters are unrelated to the original plot
  • dull exploration and boring puzzle design
