My personal favorite game of all time!
Deeply disappointing. Game is objectively worse than its predecessor in plenty of different ways, in addition to having an extreme lack of content on launch. The game engine and gunplay has improved somewhat, but actual mechanics of combat have worsened almost across the board. There’s little else to say.

This game is absolutely dripping with sauce. Seriously, I replayed it recently and the intro cutscene gave me shivers. Despite it’s clear inspirations, it is all too happy to be drenched in it’s own bombastic, red and black glory. And it is all the more remarkable as a result.
If you can manage to look past the screeching, gore-ridden monsters (based) and the hot lesbian robots (even more based) and what actually comes out the other end is an incredibly surprising and effective modernization of classic survival horror like Silent Hill, and the original Resident Evil. But Signalis carries itself in a way that makes it clear that it is so much more than just it’s predecessors. What begins as a friendly and genre-familiar “I’m looking for my girlfriend” quickly evolves into a gripping, convoluted narrative. The spooky robot monster game devolves into chaos as eldritch horror and battles with one’s own conscious take center stage.
Signalis is probably the best horror game to release in 2022, and it’s certainly the best new IP. It was obviously crafted with an incredible amount of passion, which is reflected in every bit of its art, music, and atmosphere. There’s hope that someday we can all grow a little bit closer to becoming the hot lesbian robot that’s living inside of us all.
