    I've played this game 2 times and I am now on my 3rd playthrough, and FOR ME Layers of Fear 2 is a masterpiece just like the first one was.

    Layers of Fear is a very personal experience, so the best advice I can give is that you don't take in account the opinion of others. It is a game that you need to experience for yourself. Also, this is not a game for everyone.

    Layers of Fear is a very personal experience, so the best advice I can give is that you don't take in account the opinion of others. It is a game that you need to experience for yourself.

    Also, this is not a game for everyone. To fully enjoy you need to have in mind that this is a game very different than any other game out there.
    To enjoy it you need to have patience, to pay attention to every detail, to take your time, and to play it more than once.

    Just as the name says, the experience is made by more than one layer, and the more times you play it more you discover and it makes more sense.

    The first time I finished this game I felt a bit disappointed. That's because this time Bloober was more ambitious and experimented a major variety of ambiences and a even more abstract aproach to the storytelling. But then I just took some time to think about the game and writed down some ideas about what I saw in it. I created some theories. And this was the part when the fun began.

    I felt like the game was finally taking form in my mind.
    Then I started to play a second time and every detail was making way more sense this time. That was the point when I felt that this really was something that came out from Bloober Team's minds.

    Now I am loving the game just as I loved the first one.

    I already started my 3rd playthrough as I said before, and I am really enjoying the game a lot more than when I played it for the first time.

    So my advice is:

    - This is not a game for everyone.
    - This is not totally equal to the first one, so take your time to put the pieces of the story together and play more than once.
    - Don't be so hard on trying to figure out everything on the story. There's no right or wrong version. That's the beauty of it. The truth is what you believe it is and what makes more sense to YOU.

    Thank you for reading.    … Expand

    Absolutamente essencial para quem gosta de jogos de terror. Superior ao primeiro em muitos aspectos, gráficos, história, terror e desta vez com um inimigo de quem temos de fugir em certas ocasiões. Não se deixem enganar por reviews menos favoráveis ou vão passar ao lado de uma masterpiece

    Bloober Team once again gets the most primal and instinctive fear in the body, creating a second chapter in which his way of telling a story of terror and delirium through exploration and setting will delight fans of the saga.

    Even though both Layers of Fear's stories are not linked, this sequel follows up the style of the original game. All the horror comes from the peculiar stagings and visuals used by Bloober Team that cause a constant sensation of anguish. Also, the different "homages" to several movie classics are a great classy touch.

    Once the novelty of a new game fades, what we’re left with is a failure of a title that simply loses itself after the first hour or so. And you end up going in bizarre circles without any sense of satisfaction.
