Expanding upon the first game, this one has bigger and more complex levels, with a greater variety of environments, while retaining the focus on exploration and puzzles that made the first game good. However, it doesn't do much to improve upon the core gameplay, which remains mostly unchanged. The environments are more varied and generally still interesting, but they often lack the atmosphere of the first game. There's less of a feeling of isolation and exploring long-forgotten places, something that's further diminished by the greater number of human enemies you encounter throughout.

Great for nostalgia but I forgot how janky the controls are. And double that for a console controller. Overall I'm having a great time but it is so difficult to control.

Perfecting the formula of the original. This puzzle platformer has all the charm of the 90's and is an instant classic.

This game is simply awesome. If you played the first game, you will have a lot of fun playing this. New mechanics, new weapons and a thrilling story.

Ever since childhood, this is the only game I physically cannot play because how scary it is. The gameplay is fun and nostalgic but the atmosphere is terrifying. Frick this game. Couldn't recommend enough!!!!
