I am torn. On the one hand, I can't recommend it as a followup to TDD, but I can't deny that it's a good enough standalone horror experience. Depends how high you place your standards, and mine were placed pretty high for Frictional.

Minor spoilers ahead.

I might expand on my thoughts later when I feel like. But after having beaten this game, the best way I could sum up the experience is thus: Great storytelling ruined by awful pacing and cheap mechanics. I never expected Frictional to stoop so low so as to rely on random flashy jumpscares. And yet, that happens all the time in this game. In fact, it happens every time you stay in the dark for longer than 20 seconds. Also every time you die. They weren't scary, they were just startling to the reflexes and annoying. The atmosphere isn't as scary as in TDD, however, it is still grand in its own way and deserves respect.

That said, if you're looking for a horror game that is as scary and akin to The Dark Descent, you probably won't find it here. The gameplay is much more akin to SOMA, maybe slightly worse. If you're a huge fan of the Amnesia story, don't mind the pricetag involved with playing it instead of watching it, and you like Frictional Games' storytelling, I do recommend this. Don't know, maybe my standards were too high. The puzzles themselves I felt were ok. The graphics and the environments are amazing, with some exceptions where it was so dark you could only see blank black textures. And speaking of the environment, it feels to me that the physics part of this game was rushed, as I got stuck inside environment geometry many times.

One more thing that comes to mind is how often the main character talks. It's more of a nitpick, but I often felt a great disconnect with my character as a result. The voice acting is GREAT, by the way. Not sure what else to say. Decent game, but I expected more from Frictional.

epic game

I am not changing this review back to positive until Valve fixes the god-awful casual mode, rebalances fun-ruining weapons, and treats the game as the masterpiece and legend it used to be. Alternatively, just hand it over to the community already.
