    It was a very artistic game like the first game of the series. Although it contains different genres as a horror element, it is made in an easy way for everyone to play. The storytelling was quite complex.

    Maybe somewhat surprisingly it's a great game. Much unlike LoF 1 it appears rather obviously like a walking simulator without many choices, but atmosphere is great, plot is great, you could just object the many anachronisms and steampunk-failing details. It's cool, it's great, it's fun, and it's horror. Only a very small piece to perfection is missing.

    A definite psychological horror masterpiece. A lot better than the first game, and the thrill doesn't come from cheap jumpscares mostly. The atmosphere is perfect.

    Honestly? I was kind of let down by this game, doubly so coming fresh off the heels of the original. Its atmosphere, while having the potential to be compelling, has much to be desired.

Its atmosphere, while having the potential to be compelling, has much to be desired. Any unnerving energy present in the first has been traded in for instakill chase scenes, which matters even less considering the abundance of checkpoints. Its jumpscares fall flat as there's less buildup than was present in the original, and it comes off feeling forced and cheaper as a result. There were so many moments where I felt "I could be experiencing the original again", which is an underwhelming sentiment for a sequel to provide.
    Its clearer path towards endings makes sense considering the narrative, and it has moments of intrigue, but these islands are few and far between in an ocean of clunky gameplay and an underwhelming atmosphere. Overall, this felt much more misguided than the original, which is heartbreaking.    … Expand

    So these are the facts that i did not enjoy about the game.
    Reused stuff: i dont think it is wrong to re use things from previous games but in this case they are re using too much stuff, like the sounds of the enemy creature, you will think that you are playing Observer (which is one of my favorites horror games), i think its bad cuz you feel like they didnt make an effort to do something    So these are the facts that i did not enjoy about the game.

    Poor in horror: The game is NOT scary, i was shaking when i played observer and LOF 1, but in this case i feel like the atmosphere was not scary at all.

    Repetitive: The game gets really repetitive with the mannequins and the way it guides you through the map, the game just closes all of the doors so you cant go further and makes you take another way.    … Expand

    Probably my fault for not being able to understand the story quietly. The plot are just so confusing to me at first; And the video game is a 4-5 hour walking simulator with "scary" moments that aren't even that scary. There are also no consequences from dying and thinking this as a "horror" game is just a bit of stretch.

    Layers of Fear 2 is an unnecessary repetition of the original, with an interesting script, but in the rest it is an absolute disappointment.

    Again we find an interesting story as in the original delivery, which perfectly fulfills, but to which the generalized confusion again affects him.

    Walking Simulator with some puzzles and persecutions. I do not say more.

    The painter had been replaced by an actor, and old mansion morphed into a ship – but the gameplay and scare tactics have changed very little. [Issue#239, p.64]

    The story in Layers of Fear 2 is decent, even if you can see the narrative twist coming, but you need to sit down and analyze the pieces for it to really come together. The same tricks used in the original to distort the environment still work here, as do the jump-scares despite their predictability over time. The longer playtime robs the title of the crispness of its predecessor, while the element of an active pursuer doesn't mix well with the game's need for more involved door and switch mechanics and the precision needed to activate those action spots. It's still worth checking out for fans — but sometime later, as opposed to immediately.

    Coming from someone who adored the first Layers of Fear, I was ready to love this sequel. Instead, I was disappointed by the dearth of creativity, an overreliance on ineffective audiologs and documents, and multiple insta-kill chases that frustrated me until the end. I used to considered Bloober Team to be the best up-and-coming horror developer around, but either the horror genre is evolving beyond them, or the last three too-busy years have burnt them out.
