one of my favorite games ever. i enjoyed beholder 1 and 3 but this game felt so much better and more interesting. I did multiple play throughs and was able to get 100% completion. enjoyed every minute and would recommend

It's hard to get used to the way of interacting with the game after Beholder 1 and 3, the leveling system is a bit difficult but everything else is almost / on the same level.

This game is not for everyone. I only reccomend this because it's different. You'll need to take notes, have a spreadsheet open, & play like it's the 1980s. Unless you want to cheat & look up everything online. In which case you might as well not play. You'll fail & fail & fail again. 100 times. Some people may not like that level of difficulty. Save a few checkpoints & go back to different places & try different things. It's a game that is meant to be explored. Some situations have more than 1 solution & some situations once you've screwed up it's game over but you may have played 3 hours further before you realize it.
SPOILER: I played a few weeks into the game & decided since the option to seduce my coworker was there I should probably do it. I figured I'd gain info or leverage on her. I knew it was a risk financially, but I took it. However, what I didn't see coming was her having an STD & me getting an $800 bill. By the time I worked to pay off all my bills - I couldn't afford that one. They killed me for being behind on the bills (any bill you don't pay is instant death). So that one choice was death but it didn't play out until a week later. I had to reply the entire game & find another way to interact with her (becoming TV buddies or setting her up with someone else) in order to try & eliminate her).

the game is a big upgrade over the original in my opinion, but there is a constant need to save as frequently as possible in order to not get screwed. i do love the mocking tone of the game and how it makes fun of every selection in the aisle in terms of ideology. the creators are clearly well-versed in literature regarding political theory such as communism, marxism, & totalitarianism. the constant need to save for worst possible outcomes and severe over-reliance on loading screens in between gameplay segments are my biggest complaints but this basically does everything you could ask for in terms of a sequel to the original beholder.

All Hail the Supreme Leader!
Beholder 2 presents a polished adventure experience steeped in a dark, oppressive atmosphere. Players assume the role of Evan Redgrave, a new employee at a totalitarian Ministry, where the narrative unfolds amidst bureaucratic intrigue and personal mystery.
The game excels in storytelling, offering a multitude of choices that enhance replayability and keep the plot engaging. However, the gameplay is marred by frustrating and repetitive mini-games, which can detract from the overall enjoyment.
For those who appreciate rich narratives and the freedom to forge their own path within a game, Beholder 2 is a compelling choice.

This game has a good plot and a unique art style that fits the theme of the game. I would rate it highly, was fun to run trough the story from different angles but TLDR all pipes lead to the same lake.

This game took quite a bit to complete, but it was certainly an interesting experience. Being a game in the dystopian genre, the gameplay manages to almost perfectly match the environment, with working on the lower floors being a grueling task, with very little progress being made towards quests, while working on the higher floors being much easier and giving you much more progress towards objectives.
