a relentlessly large game, especially in comparison to the first title. the same brilliant oppressive atmosphere of dread (and peckishness...) is present, albeit with some nice QoL changes as well as tweaks to some systems along with new mechanics. overall very satisfying sequel, but i didnt feel quite as drawn in to complete this with the same voracious appetite as i did the first. maybe my opinion will be raised once i come back and finish it :)
