this game shits on the original so hard i would tell you to just skip the original and watch the recap this game provides

every issue i had with the first game has been resolved its amazing

The Darkness no longer has a power meter so you don't have to stand around in darkness and waste bullets on lights

The Darkness has actual offensive abilities that don't require me to stand completely still in order to use them

The Darkness is always active and only goes away if you step in light and since the game doesn't drip feed you ammo you can actually use bullets instead of the janky tendril move from the first game

and finally the game does away with the big confusing levels of the first game in exchange for more linear levels that keep the flow going

easy recommend its on Steam for 20 bucks if you're interested
