DreadOut 2

I wish there was a neutral option for reviews. But I cannot recommend to play this game in the state that it's in. It feels incredibly unfinished. I was so hyped to play the 2nd game way back when the trailers came out. However I am a bit disappointed with the final product. This game is very buggy. I know Unreal engine is a bit weird and janky already but goodness! The graphics are really bad. There is no consistency with the quality of models throughout the game. All the NPC's look the same and look like variations of the same model. Not to mention the animations are really weird and off too. I feel like there wasn't a whole lot of quality assurance on this game like at all. The sound quality isn't the best either. I know this game is an indie game but god. Another complaint I had with this game is the length. It's way too short. And not very satisfying at all. Like you complete a chapter and then it's like "oook. um yeahh that evil teacher is evil. go to this next area!" I can tell yes they were inspired by Fatal Frame but this just all falls flat. And isn't anywhere near the quality of Fatal Frame. I also was really disappointed by how not scary this one is. The 1st game and The Keepers of the Dark are really f*%(ing creepy. I feel they held back too much on this. It has way more hands on combat which I actually really enjoy. I really like the combo of using the camera and hacking and slashing enemies too! I just feel this game was trying to do too much with too little resources. There clearly really wasn't a whole lot of money in the budget. The only character model that looks decent is Linda's but the hair strands on her model always look off to me. I love the new cut but it just looks really thin. Especially the Outfit that has her Ponytail. This game could have been so much more if they had spent more time on this. As well as raising more money to fund this game. It also feels like they didn't have a whole lot of experience in making games with Unreal Engine. And it shows. Painfully. I hope maybe one day they can do like a major update to fix everything but I don't think that's ever gonna happen. This game also isn't optimized very well at all! Texture streaming is all over the place! Texture pop in this is very noticeable and it bugs the crap out of me. I can't stand blurry textures at all. It also doesn't matter how high you have the graphics. They always have this weird slight blur to it. I hate it. But yeah you go through all this nonsense and then it just ends lol. Mrs Siska is like "You ever heard of a snake girl!?" And Linda is like "Snake girl?..." The entire game is like this and then like I said it just ends. Do better Digital Happiness.
