Layers of Fear 2 (2019) (2019)

Layers of Fear 2 still has some classic LoF moments, but it just didn't hit the mark like the first one did. There are some great ideas here, but it never felt like the breath of fresh air I was hoping for. [b]First, I'll start with the POSITIVES:[/b] + A classic return to the Layers of Fear formula. Some may call it a walking simulator, but I call it a walking [i]experience[/i]. The locked doors, twists, turns, and constant feeling of being disoriented are still great. + Some genuinely memorable scenes. There are a few moments where the game switches things up and actually feels fresh. + The horror progression was well done. Looking past the story, the gradual increase in spookiness worked really well. It wasn't always jumpscares thrown at you. + The sound design and overall atmosphere feel more polished this time around and do a lot of the heavy lifting for immersion. [b]Here are some NEGATIVES that come to mind:[/b] - The story starts strong and then loses its way. The first act had me really interested, but the further I got, the less I understood what the game was trying to say. (could be a skill issue on my part) - I'd recommend picking this up for $5 or less. It's just too…

its scary

This game is seriously good.So fancy job.I am so happy to fully completed and add it to my collection of horrors.!!!

As of writing this review I have 15 minutes of this game so take my review with a grain of salt. The setting of this game is incredible and I've played a lot of games. At 9 minutes when I watched the short film I started tearing up. When I walked onto the deck for the first time I started crying. I usually turn the music off in all games to get full immersion or listen to my own music but the game sounds alone of the waves and the sunset really reminded me that this is what gaming is all about. Enjoying a completely enveloped moment that feels enjoyable in each's own unique way. 10/10 would recommend if you love ambient horror or just great games made by a passionate dev team.

I don't haver fear, i swear, believe in me. AAAAAAHHH

I couldn't get into this game, it was just walking around very liner lots of doors but I could always only go through the one. I often didn't know I was about to be attacked/chased because they use simlair distorted visuals at random as well as for the creature.
