And of course, I love the tidbits of Indonesian black magic and spirits that you see scattered about. There are some genuinely creepy moments mid-way through the game. I personally find high schools and hospitals creepy, and you get to explore both in a Silent Hill-esque style. I don’t get cool lore, character development, or the opportunity to explore Linda’s ample trauma, or even help her heal from it.īut there are some good aspects. But they don’t really contribute to anything. And as a person who loves side quests, I was super excited about it. And the way she swings an axe is genuinely pathetic.īeyond that, there are a lot of side quests. Other boss fights feel so easy as to be anticlimactic. Shots that feel like they should hit sometimes don’t. I’ve complained about camera-based battle systems in my Fatal Frame gameplay reviews but DreadOut 2 is the absolute pinnacle of bad battle systems. The gameplay is also, unfortunately, not great.
Even playing both, DreadOut 1 and the standalone game Keepers of Dark, this game still barely makes sense. We’ve gotten so many great horror indie games that look amazing in the past year that it’s hard to excuse the roughness, especially for a remastered game.īut the true deep sin of DreadOut 2 is that its story doesn’t make any sense without having played the previous installment, even with the cinematic at the start. The models can still be awkward, the environment borders on drab and forgettable. It doesn’t look like it was made for next gen consoles. But the developers fooled everyone because the prologue was held in the good old format, where quite disturbing music is played, and the tension from the surrounding ghosts and mysticism burdens your pants.Every horror palette is a variety of browns, greys, and maybe a splash of red. The original DreadOut was a good enough thriller with elements of horror, the second became … an action with elements oh … it’s scary, yeah. And so the second part came out, which ♥♥♥♥ appeared in terms of horror in full. That is, yes, we destroyed the ghosts, which eventually turned out to be guards and Miss Siske (how difficult it is not to laugh at the voice) fooled Linda, forcing to wake the snake, which begins its bloody harvest. Only Asian horror, only hardcore!ĮXPECTATIONS TIME PLAY AN EVIL JOK: So, after the first part and the epic finale in which our main character awakened an ancient evil, if we expected the second part, we certainly did not think that it would turn out so … faceless. The game was not as good as we expected, and most of the good points from the first part were poor. And then you think that we praise the game in advance, but alas, there is a double deception. A spectacular comeback is only possible with a really good project. A long time ago we did not write reviews, but it’s time to return.
