Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly recommend this fixed-camera survival horror sequel for its atmosphere, level design and puzzles, though cryptic puzzles and clumsy combat frustrate many.

Most players recommend this fixed-camera survival horror sequel, and Steam's totals are very positive. Many players praise the detailed, varied environments, the dread-building atmosphere, the classic Resident Evil and Silent Hill feel, and the larger, better-connected map compared with the first game. Puzzles are a double-edged point: some players find them clever and satisfying, while many say several solutions are so obscure that they needed a guide. Combat is the main complaint, with tank controls, slow aiming, awkward dodging and frustrating boss attacks. Some players also report bugs, including a fuse item that vanished, lost saves and inventory glitches, and a few mention awkward keybinds. Reviews from the last year are more mixed on some bugs now fixed, but the core opinion stays similar.

    Reviewers report a key item vanishing, lost saves after an update, inventory glitches and crashes, some since fixed.

    Some players
  • Save room pacing and backtracking
