A perfect sequel. It takes everything good from the first game and expands upon it, while also cleaning house on all its mistakes. Don't let people fool you; this game is totally horror, it just gives you time to breathe. Honestly, though, this game had me clutching my controller at several moments, which is just something the first never did outside of Hunter segments.

Taking place on the Sprawl, a gigantic space colony, gives environments so much diversity, and really expands the scale of the in-game universe. Churches, Mines, Nurseries... it's all here! It avoids the trap the first game fell into, where the entirety of it was endless metal corridors, with a dash of meat walls. Every character you meet is fantastic. The writing isn't perfect, but it's totally serviceable.

This does the whole Naughty Dog cinematic TPS thing, while actually being a game that I want to see through to the end. It's everything DOOM 3 wanted to be back in 2004. Hell, you could say it finally realized the vision of 1997's cult classic, Event Horizon. It also still looks gorgeous; over ten years old, and a lot of its visuals still made my jaw drop! Overall, a timeless horror classic, and I can't recommend it enough.
