I’ve bought the bundle with all Dread X Collection Games in a sale for 90% off (or some value like that) After playing the first one, I thought that this collection may all be kinda bad and didn’t try any other for months. After that, I decided to give this game a shot, it couldn’t be worse than the first… right? Well, I’m glad to say that Dread X 2 is a pretty good collection and, is you are finding it on sale and would like to give it a shot, I would say that Dread X 2 is worth it… as long as not in full price. There are some pretty cool games here… but… it may feel like its not worth your time because some of them are kinda… kinda badly designed. So, just like the first one, let’s give a score to each one of them, so they all can be reviewed (in the order I played): >Squirrel Stapler< 7/10 - I was really happy to start with such a good game, it gave me a great first impression of the collection and got me excited to try them all. The hunting gameplay is great and cool, and the graphics are charming, the slow burn of horror is also very effective, it got me on the edge quite some times. Sadly, I think the main issue comes from the design of the enemies that spawn in day 2 (or 3 I forgot). They are… not scary at all and pose little to no threat. If the enemies had a better AI and a better, more scary design, this would have an even higher score. As it stands, it’s a great experience. The ending is very good, I really liked it. >Sucker for Love< 9/10 - This is the best game in this collection… and it's the joke game. This speaks volumes about the quality of this game… but also says that none of the other experiences crafted to be short horror experiences are that good… and the game kinda peaked in my second choice. However, Sucker for Love is still a great game. It was really funny, the 2D drawings were very high quality, the voice acting was peak, the point and click puzzle gameplay was very simple but the game is so short that they don’t bother you at all. Overall, a very enjoyable and funny experience, I recommend the whole collection for this game alone. >Another Late Night< 6/10 - This one is very short. You take control of someone’s computer, explore their conversation and files, then read some creepy news and are asked some unsettling questions by an unknown entity. Then the plot twists. It’s short and most of what you do is reading, the writing isn’t peak masterpiece literature, but it’s cool. No real gameplay, but I liked it. It’s a worthy experience. I would play this one over 90% of the games in Dread X 1. >The Toy Shop< 3/10 - This game is weird. Like, really weird. The graphics and art direction aren’t bad… but confused. Gameplay and animations are junky and stiff. The objectives are confused. It has multiple styles in gameplay but none are really good. The idea is so nuts, yet… intriguing. I tried really hard to like this game, I was really interested to see what was behind such a bizarre idea. It sticks out along with any other game in all of Dread X purely for its strange vibes. Sadly, I lost my patience during the boss fight and the following segments. I didn’t have fun… but I was intrigued. >The Thing in the Lake< 5/10 - This game is really hard in an annoying way. It’s too easy to die and after death you go back all the way to the beginning of the segment. It’s divided into 4 segments, each longer than the last. I really like the old school vibes and graphics, but the hard elements don’t work very well nowadays. They in fact never did, games were longer this way to justify the price. Artificial difficulty. That being said, it’s not bad. I enjoyed the story and horror. I just wish it was more linear and less artificially difficult. >Solipsis< 8/10 - Very very short, but great and creepy. This is the definition of less is more. Yeah it’s a walking simulator, but it’s charming. It has an amazingly good art direction and a pretty good story. It’s short, like 10 minutes at best, so my review is short because I have nothing left to say. Still… really good. >The Diving Bell< 8/10 - The graphics are really weak, but the art design saves it and makes this game really cool looking. The gameplay is a bit simplistic, just walking and picking stuff… But it’s elevated by an amazing atmosphere, great story telling and cool horror elements. I was really impressed with this one and how hopeless everything feels. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone that buys this game, this is peak writing. My only issue is that the gameplay could be improved and some of the dialogue that comes from the speaker are a little too cheesy. >Arcadletra< 2/10 - Really disappointing game. This has a good art direction, but the graphics feel too shiny and unrealistic. As for the gameplay? Walking simulator. The story? Basic cryptic nonsense. The horror? Jumpscare simulator with loud noises and no real build up. This is a bad game, amateur cheap horror. >Undiscovered< 6/10 - Really good atmosphere and amazing idea for the camera. The art style is great… but I think it would be better with more realistic models for better immersion. It feels too cartoony and fake for what should be a real old recording. The gameplay too is just a walking simulator with basic interaction and nothing much happens. It’s not annoyingly bad tho, it would be the best game if it was part of the first dread x collection, but here is just ok. Great idea, mid execution. >Touched by an Outer God< 8/10 - Incredible art direction, cool graphics, I loved the gameplay feel, really different to everything so far. I think this is a great game, really stands out and could be its own thing rather than being part of this collection. My only issue is that the game is a little bit too easy, too short and has some very cheesy dialogues. However, this is still a peak game that feels very finished and a worthwhile experience. >To the End of Days< 6/10 - Inoffensive runner shooter. It has a strong art direction, the combat is not bad for what is the main focus. But the level design is a bit bland… the story is fun but really is nothing special. I really struggle to review this one because, despite not being bad, it’s really nothing special either. The 40 minutes I spent in this game weren’t bad, I had fun, but nothing too memorable. >Charlotte's Exile< 9/10 - Really cool investigation game, the main goal is to figure out the message left by Charlotte by decoding an old language found in the book you have. I really liked this one, it is my favorite in this collection. But… the horror in it isn’t that strong and… I think this may be a little too niched. I don’t think your average player will be willing to just read and read and pay very meticulous attention to the details of the language to solve the message. This is why I think this isn’t the best game, because it isn’t for everyone. But regardless.. It is my favorite and I really liked it. Great game, just missing more horror. >Dread X 2 Hub World (Puzzle House)< 7/10 - Different from the first game, where you just pick up the games you wanted to play directly, Dread X 2 has a hub world, a house full of puzzles. After each puzzle is beaten, you gain a key and can play another game. You can complete all puzzles at once or do them one by one as you play the other games. The puzzles are all ok (except the piano puzzle, that off key thing sucks) and are a fun little distraction. The artstyle of the hub world is very charming and the overall story being told by the tapes is intriguing. I liked, really liked it. >>>Final review<<< This was a major improvement over the original collection. I had a great time playing it and, despite the bad apples, the game selection was very good this time around. Got me excited for the next one and really glad I gave it a shot. I strongly recommend this game, or at least the ones with scores 7 or higher. If you find it on sale, get it.

Despite the increased production value, many of these were still not to my taste, but I knew that going in. Solipsis: Was able to complete it but I don't know what it was trying to communicate. Squirrel Stapler: 10/10, no notes. Touched by an Outer God: Barf Unity Camera, couldn't continue. To the End of Days: I certainly got the end! I'm glad to have been given a chance at revenge on those screaming wire men. Sucker for Love: Nope. Charlotte's Exile: Decent little puzzle game! Undiscovered: Oh my GOD the barf camera. Toy Shop: Similarly, barf camera. If I didn't have a whole bunch more of these to play I might have pushed through. Alas. ArcaDletra: ...what. The Diving Bell: This might be the least compelling out of any of them. Another Late Night: I clicked on things and got an ending, but again, not sure what happened. The Thing In The Lake: Doing half-hearted "retro" style stuff is a surefire way to turn me off.

Dread x collection 2 doesn't disappoint with the set of games this time and I think most of them are in the good territory. This collection was an indie collab, where they're given 10 days to make a horror game, that fit the theme of lovecraft. These indie developers have given their best, which is commendable. The first thing you notice before playing anything, is you have been dropped in a hub, which has lore and puzzles. A neat addition and breath of fresh air before jumping in on a game. There are 12 games and I will be briefly reviewing every one of them now. Another late night. A pc desktop simulator, that starts out interesting only to not go anywhere. It feels like it just ends when you think it's starting to get interesting. Arcadletra. Actually a pretty interesting game, with a lot of jumpscares. You are being hunted in an arcade by a monster. Charlotte's Exile. This is a unique puzzle game where you have to decode a book while getting harassed by a monster. This one you should check out. I had a lot of fun with this one. Solipsis. This is a 20 minute adventure where you go to the moon. It looks really dark and empty, which adds to the feeling of loneliness and that's why it is really scary. I won't say more, play this one. Squirrel Stapler. This is one of the best games from the collection. You hunt squirrels so you can staple them to your dead wifes body. Sounds messed up, cos that is just that. You hunt for squirrels and the game builds up by reminding you, that god is coming in 5 days and you don't know what to expect. Needs to be played. Sucker for Love. Didn't think I would play a game where I want to smooch an eldritch god, but here I am. This game is the most different game of the bunch. It's a cute dating sim where it seems nothing scary would happen. If you like the consept, there is sequels. Play this one. The Diving Bell. You are underwater managing a research facility which is haunted. This game delivers on the athmosphere and the story is presented nicely. The Thing in the Lake. Pixel art game where a monke goes to cause havoc. It has some 80's horror movie vibes and cool art, even has multiple endings. A must play. Toy shop. This might be the longest game in the collection. Toy Shop is a great game with a good story. I was immersed from the begining to the end. To the End of Days. If you can get past the edgy main character, you will have good time. The world is ending and you need to shoot everyone so you can get home. Fun fastpaced fps. That secret code you get at the end is the best thing ever. Touched by an Outer God. A roguelike fps. It has taken some notes from the boomer shooter genre. It is a game where you mutate and get stronger by killing monsters. If you like this kinda game this is for you. Undiscovered. This is the worst game of the collection. You go to look at an old tomb and scary stuff happens. You should totally pick this up and support these indie devs. Everyone has brought something new and different to the table. This is worth every penny and if one game isn't up your alley maybe the next one is. If you have fun with this one, I recommend to pick up the first collection too.

Just finished all the games on this one. I overall liked it far more than the first entry. Many more hits than misses for me compared to the first title, and the 'hub' was handled much better, and actually made into it's own little puzzle game. Another Late Night was pretty meh. Too short and simple. There wasn't a lot going on in it and the message seemed relatively shallow. Charlotte's Exile was also a bit too basic for my taste. Solipsis was a neat little game. Very short, but good atmosphere and a fun enough idea. Undiscovered was more or less the same for me, short with a neat idea. I liked the idea behind the camera perspective. Arcadletra I'd place a little higher. I like the atmosphere of this one. The End of Days and Touched By An Outer God were higher on my list up to this point. Both were fun little 'horror' themed action games I found pretty fun, though one of the enemy types in the former felt rough to deal with. The Toy Shop and The Diving Bell were my second favorites of the compilation. Good atmospheres, mechanics, ideas, and themes. I enjoyed these two a lot. My favorites were Sucker for Love, an early build of an actual full game I've already played. It was neat to see an earlier version of the idea. Above that, The Thing in the Lake. This one was a neat little black and white horror game with a neat idea where you play as several people through the same area. My favorite of the whole collection was Squirrel Stapler. It was bizzare, and fun. It has very slow gameplay though, so be warned.

Solipsis: Very simple, but the atmosphere is great and I enjoyed the ‘eureka’ moments. 6/10 Squirrel Stapler: Quite unnerving, but a bit frustrating and tedious at times. I wish the variation kept expanding. 7/10 Sucker for Love: It’s like she’s in my head. 7/10 To the End of Days: It feels like the attempted scope of this one became a detriment to its production. Straight forward and monotonous. 4/10 Touched By an Outer God: Feigns replayability, and is honestly the most overrated one of the list. Boomer Shooter with uninteresting arenas and unnecessary ‘lore’. I like the idea of mutating past the point of recognition, but this one rushed past the feeling I wanted from it. 5/10 Charlotte’s Exile: Fun puzzle horror, I just wanted to explore more. 8/10 Undiscovered: Hold ‘W’ slop. Old-timey film effect is just headache-inducing, and gameplay does not make up for it. Felt like every design and lore decision was simply because of the ripped ‘Spanish Inquisitor Skeleton’ asset that the dev wanted to use. 2/10 The Toy Shop: Another one that suffers a bit from its vast world. Ending feels abrupt and not much is explained, but the shift from reality to reality and the thought/speech ‘editing’ are interesting ideas, and well executed. 6/10 Arcadletra: Annoying, just walk towards and press whatever thing is talking/making noise/electrified. I felt like a rat in a maze trying to find the cheese, and the random ‘platforming’ section doesn’t help this feeling. Nothing explained, nothing gained. 3/10 The Diving Bell: Takes place 0 days after a workplace accident and I already have an anti-psychotic addiction. Random door/zones getting locked off was frustrating, but makes sense with the pacing. This one was really well done. 8/10 Another Late Night: Truly just not a game. 1/10 The Thing in the Lake: This is the most rage-inducing piece of trash I’ve ever had the displeasure of playing. It’s honestly more annoying that it wasn’t a buggy mess, I probably would’ve preferred it crashing over how it works currently. It’s astonishing that this gameplay loop was never changed, or redesigned completely. Any and all death is a complete chapter reset, each one littered with unclear objectives. Multiple zones near guaranteeing death if entered while the user is unlucky or currently has bad karma. Traps suck you in faster than a black hole, another guaranteed restart as ‘breaking free’ always takes longer than dying. Even if you do complete it in one life at least two of the four chapters end in forced deaths, leaving you unsatisfied with your ‘completion’. I never even finished chapter 4. If the ‘scary’ red text ‘game’ gets 1/10, this must be. 0/10 A very polarizing collection. There are enough playable games in this collection that I'm recommending it, but a number of these are unplayable.
