Answers the old questions we had 13 years ago while introducing some newer ones. The graphics of this game and facial mocap are very well done. Cool puzzles in beautifully detailed environments. Very creatively worked on with the all the budget they could.
However it was very movie-gamey compared to the first. Traded responsive controls, driving, and fast-paced action of the first game for some Resident Evil 2 Remake styled combat. (They got rid of jumping altogether). They seem to have got rid of the object physics from their earlier games - everything is glued to the ground. Not only that, timeloops (call me jaded but I'm tired of them) are involved and you're forced to revisit areas. A lot of the game feels like a chore in that regard.
An odd congregation of everything Sam Lake. Get used to seeing his face. Love hearing James McCaffrey, though. I'm sure if you're into the Remedyverse and lore you'll love it.
