Layers of Fear 2
The cameras are all focused on you; the center of the scene. Not just in character, you are the character. The part to play is singularly yours. Written just for you. You are met with silence. No barking orders from the director. No call to action that you need to become this version of yourself. The demand to act fills your mind, but the script pages hold no words. Your past has helped to mold you into what you are, forced upon you the skills required to hone your craft. That same past has scraped deep furrowing scars into you, not on the outside where the world can see, but in a place buried so deep within that it has become shapeless. You push those memories down but let the experiences drive you into who, or what, you must play. Darkness surrounds as you stand silently in the spotlight, the only sounds to be heard over your heartbeat are the distant breaking of waves against the hull and the sound of cameras pointed in your direction preserving this moment for eternity.

There needs to be a neutral option for reviews because I'm on the fence with this one. I don't want to give it a thumbs down because I love the work Bloober Team does and this game is visually fantastic and plays just as good as the first Layers of Fear however I was not interested in the story at all. I found it incredibly boring and overly "artsy" for the lack of a better term. Almost like some sort of pretentious think piece at an indie film festival. Just didn't care for it.

It's absolutely as depressing as the previous game, but I find it scarier. They once again made it a beautifully tragic piece of art. The storyteling, choces that have to be made. Graphics are nice, the game did craqh on me 2 times though. For anyone who's played the first game, this is just as soul gripping and generally amazing.
I truely recommend it for anyone that loves the horror (storytelling) genre

If you enjoyed the first one you'll love this one as well! just as great as the first one in my opinion. creepy atmosphere. i genuinely was freaked out quite a few times throughout. good puzzles and a great story. also excellent performance by the late great Tony Todd in it. Rest in peace Tony Todd

Not a bad game and an interesting story. It does tend to give me motion sickness, due to camera sway and lighting, just as an warning to anyone else prone to this.

Longer than the first one with a lot more crazy scenes and transitions. Sometimes it can seem a bit too strange and the change of the environment makes little sense at some very few areas. I would have wished for a little less of the crazy scenes and more focus on the story which has a lot more potential.
That's about all I can say to criticize this game. To me this was as entertaining as the first one and I would love there to be a third. There are just so many scenes, so many areas so well done. Very good game in my opinion and a joy to play through.
