DreadOut 2

Let's say it loud upfront: this game is bad. I would say, it's even worse than the first one. Good graphics doesn't make a good game. Unreal Ungine doesn't make a good game! The only reason to play it is if you already played the first one and you are really, REALLY interested in the story. There is absolutely no point to play this if you are new to DreadOut series. At least the first one, with a walkthrough and big dose of patience, was playable and even enjoyable at times. This one is definitely a step in a wrong direction. Combat is even more frustrating. Being stun-locked to death is a common case. Quests (yes, now there are quests, in a linear horror game) and exploration are boring. Jankiness is prevalent and remains a hallmark of the series. The biggest problem is that this game tried to do too much and it succeeded at nothing. Even what you would think could be improvements, like how they changed shooting photos of the ghosts to add a specific timing requirement, are actually things that make the game more annoying. There are some moments when it's so bad that it's actually fun in a bit of unintended way. The only reason I play it is because the story from the first g…

YES.

amazing jiggle physiques, while also making me piss my pants

The game actually has a good start and it has it's own charm, but it falls off so fast it's amazing. High FPS break the game and apparently even higher resolutions changes your camera (YOUR PRIMARY WEAPON) hit-boxes, making the game harder. The game is also RNG, some enemies will stun-lock you and hit you multiple times and there's nothing you can do about it. Some enemies just spawn out of nowhere and there's just not enough time for you to take out your camera and do damage and even if you are ready, your camera hitbox is so small you will miss 9 out of 10 times you take a picture. This is a very decent idea, cool art-design and story, but it lacks so much in the technical department. Also, the game is just becoming a gooner ai game with the third game. You can even see that gooner mindset in this one already. Just checking the third game page on Steam gets you an idea that DreadOut is pretty much dead. DreadOut 1 has it's own jankiness, but it is way more berable than this one.

this is tough. despite popular opinion, i normally rate the dreadout games pretty favorably. i'm absolutely in love with the aesthetics, lore, mythology, characters, and general themes of these games. it's just so unique and truly an untapped market in horror games. that's why the first game is one of my favorite games ever. i enjoyed keepers of the dark for the same reasons, despite the slightly janky combat mechanics in that one, but this one, this one is like if you took everything bad about KOTD's combat system and ramped it up tenfold and shoved it in every crevice of the game. the combat is the absolute WORST i have ever played in any game ever. at first, you're grateful that linda is a bit tanky because wow she's slow compared to the monsters and you're getting smacked left and right when you try to attack, but then you find yourself wishing she wasn't because you WILL somehow get stunlocked to death. please, just ditch actual fighting and keep the camera combat. that's what makes the game unique and charming in the first place. other than the horrendous combat, i actually love everything else about the game, most especially the environments and maps. it's so expanded upon…
