The user score for this game is a travesty. It is top tier platforming. Very fast yet responsive and precise platforming. The art style is very charming and the level design and music are great. If you do a casual playthrough it’ll take you 4 hours to beat while completing will tame you around 10-12 hours and it only costs $4.99. Great value for your money!
The only reason I played this game is because I played the first one (which I rented, thankfully) and saw that this one was also available to rent so why not? Yeah this is even worse than the first one. Th e controls and physics are clunky and awful. It’s not very responsive and just doesn’t feel good to control. Especially the flashlight in the awful mannequin sequence where the game basically turns into a third person shooter for some reason. The game introduces an idea and then milks it absolutely dry to the point where you’re just tired of it. Puzzles are very obtuse and don’t always make sense. The developers do a horrible job at teaching new mechanics. They’ll randomly throw something new at you in the middle of a tense scene and expect you to accept the L and try again. At one point I stopped caring and had to check a youtube walkthrough on what to do because I was so done with the game I didn’t even want to think for more than 5 seconds. The biggest thing the first game had going for it was the unique aesthetic but now with a sequel it’s lost its charm and needs more than creepy art to be enjoyable.
