Really wanted this game to be better than it was. Until Dawn is not a perfect game by any stretch of the imagination, but none of its sequels have come even close to the same overall quality and personal enjoyment for me. First half of the game spends way too long with its really uninteresting setup for the romances and friendships. Also, almost every character in this game is obnoxious in their own terrible way, and unlike until dawn, I still hated half of them by the time credits rolled. Story quality and gameplay eventually picks up in chapter 7, but for the most part it was a slog to get there. Post chapter 7 the game gets significantly better and more fun and interesting, but even then they somehow didn't spend enough time with a second half of the cast that apparently just... don't matter? The QTEs are not as engaging, especially the "hold breath" QTE. Lastly the ending... man what a letdown. No satisfying ending for all of the "choices" you made within dialogue during the excruciatingly long intro, just a shitty "where are they now" montage. The whole experience kills me because it could have been so good, it just fell short in so many ways that it snowballed into such a mediocre experience. I want to like this game so much more than I did, and compared to the Dark Pictures Anthology, it is an improvement. I guess I will continue waiting for my next Until Dawn
