Well, what can I say, I was really quite disappointed with the game overall. Where the predecessor was for the most part still reasonably down-to-earth and offered an interesting mystery, this game goes towards infinity on the bullshit scale :D Unfortunately, the humor doesn't work for me at all, the over-the-top moments that were still used selectively in the predecessor are here non-stop. I actually really liked the Somnium levels, but there was also a certain randomness in some places that made solving the puzzles unnecessarily difficult. To be honest, I find the "big" twist towards the end very cheap, as it has no justification in the game world and is only there to confuse the player. It could have been solved more elegantly. The main plot is nice, but it's riddled with anime bullshit at every turn. I lost count of how many times I had to fight hordes of the same enemy morons, who of course use their firearms almost exclusively in close combat, only to watch them limp away afterwards. Pacing was another problem. I spent more time with the predecessor and yet it felt shorter because the story was simply told faster and better. So overall I found it rather lame, the characters pretty flat, the story ok, the twists cheap and the overall experience just mediocre.
