Carrying on from the first game, this is is an enjoyable yet terrifying sequel. Unfortunately ditching the voice actor from the first and having some rather cringe dialog at times. Aside from that can expect a scary good time, with fun shooting and crafting mechanics.

With a plot kind of light, the whole game turn around insanity and horror.
I can't avoid suggesting it, a must play if you love horror game and 3rd person games.

This game is really suprisingly good.
Never played the first so the opening cutscene kinda lost me, but once this game gets going its a blast. Runs and looks great on steam deck and playing with cloud save is a dream. Gonna play the first one after this one. Story kinda reminds me of max payne 2.
