Beholder 2

This game is very fun and cool

I can't say I recommend this game. I played the first one a long while back and finally saw this one. I thought that I would give it a try, but it really isn't for me. Unfortunately I bought it during a sale a while ago, and so sadly I cannot refund it. I found this game to be extremely tedious, and very brong to play. The atmosphere it creates is alright, it does a decent job here and there, but I think there certainly could be more. Perhaps with a more dirty, brutalist design, or better music. But yeah, the gameplay just doesn't do it for me. For something that is essentially Papers Please with extra steps, they did not do a very good job. You would think it would be hard to fail with that template, but they somehow managed it. In other games in this sort of 'category' or 'genre' (that I don't quite know how to describe other than Papers Please-clone) getting the work formula right is very important, it should be the core of the game. But as I said, it was either boring, or it was confusing, and you certainly don't want either. After having a barely alright time in the first game, and not really caring for this one, I don't think I will be looking at playing anymore games in t…

Beholder too may be my favrouite in the series, just a tip to anyone who wants to play: Try NOT to arrest bosses if you want all the endings without replaying

Authority gaining bug.

First of I loved the first game! The idea behind it is very nice which compelled me to get the whole franchise. One issue is that as soon as I start the Beholder 2, before it presents itself, it crashes and so far I couldn't find a solution. If anyone can help me it would be awesome!
