While it is a big upgrade over the previous game and I would certainly like to see what this team does next, a bit more restraint would certainly benefit them. When you find a flayed person in the second "room" of the game and then a...thing roughly 40% through it, there's not much room to escalate to it just sort of bathes in it's own brutality and horror. There is little build up and no real escalation since it already starts you at 9. Some of the puzzles are slightly annoying with interactable points that don't tell you what they are supposed to be (a switch? a button? A slot?) or what prevents you from using them, especially because all the items have to be moved between the three characters which, since that can just happen whenever you want feels a bit pointless. A shared inventory would make just as much sense in the world of the game and alliviate some that tedium. Still, it is a good game after all with an interesting and mostly likeable crew of characters and a weird tale to tell.
