Pros:
- Interesting puzzle elements
- Engaging story
- Good game graphics
Cons:
- Most of the weapons you pick up are trash unless you use the crafting table
- Character progression is shallow, only allowing for attribute increases
- Some areas are just filled with lots of monsters
Conclusion:
Overall, I recommend this game. It is challenging and fun when overcoming vast amounts of zombies. I really like the puzzle elements in this game. Sadly, the puzzle-solving portion is not very significant.

Low budget indie developer that makes decent game. Considering that this is a 2-3 people development team, the game is pretty good. This game costs 5 dollar, less than a cup of coffee. Can't wait for the third installment! Keep up the good work!

POSITIVE POINTS:
- We can play in two different ways, depending on how we are more comfortable: being stealthy so we don't get spotted (being able to kill the zombies from behind) or in a straightforward way as if we were Ash Williams. But we can also defeat the bosses in a clever way if we find the necessary clues scattered around the place.
- We can craft more than 30 items and weapons: knives, axes, shovels, baseball bats... it's a real blast.
- Graphically it looks great (especially the dynamic lighting), it's hard to believe that the game has been developed by one person.
- The developers are very active on the Steam forums, taking note of reported bugs and trying to fix them.
- Its price! It's really low for what it offers.
NEGATIVE POINTS:
- The story takes place after the events of Survival Guide 1, although you don't need to have played it to enjoy this second installment: if you like it, get the first one too!
- Some areas are too dark.
- It's quite short (about 3 hours), but for the price it's worth it.
- The ending is rather abrupt.
CONCLUSIONS:
Survival Guide 2 is a third-person survival horror with a fairly interesting linear story, well-paced puzzles and exciting and fun boss fights. Although the game has some technical issues and a few bugs, the developer is fully committed to its release and in constant communication with the community, so that's something to be thankful for.
EVALUATION:
8/10.
I could say that Survival Guide 2 is an indie Resident Evil, but I'd be lying. Despite the budget gap (Survival Guide 2 is made by one person!), it has enough personality to stand out on its own. Though short in length, if you like the genre it's well worth it.

Great indie Survival Horror. The first game was incredibly ambitious and had a surprising amount of heart. The sequel is equally as ambitious for a small team but this time around it's a lot more polished and a little less janky. I'd love to see what these devs could do in the future, this game is already a much higher quality product than the first. Also the ending was cool as hell and very unexpected. My only complaint would be the game is way too dark in many areas.
I hope the dev team continues because they have great potential.
