    A terrible, tightly broken piece of **** with an insane plot. Nothing has been fixed here by any patches and cannot be fixed. Literally NOTHING works here. Nor steals, nor AI, nor bunch of unnecessary mechanics, nor story, which reminds me of Tommy Wiseau's "The Room" movie. Billion bugs, glitches, collision errors, terrifying controls.

    The developer is not only a crooked-handed cocksucker who must be banned to approach the video game industry, but he also sent bots with 10’s to save his own wick. Pathetic, incompetent, graphomaniac, leave the profession.    … Expand

    I'm not overexaggerating when I say that Remothered Broken Porcelain is one of the worst games I've ever played in my entire life .

When you encounter a terrifying enemy who overpowers you in every way and try to run away from him/her, the panic and anxiety you would suffer are well felt in this game.
    The graphics improved tremendously over the already great-looking first one. The story was amazingly written. I went back to play the first one afterwards and felt I understood and appreciated the whole story even more. Definitely recommend this game to not only the horror fans but also story-driven fans.    … Expand

    As a huge fan of Remothered: Tormented Father, I couldn't be more disappointed.

Apart from the regrettable state of development the game has been released in (I haven’t never played a game with so many bugs). The developers eliminated almost everything I love from the first game and replaced it for pointless, uncomfortable and needlessly complicated battle, inventory managing and skill improving systems. A complex and original conceptual story isn't equivalent to a good script. I would have rated this game at least 5, if the only mistakes were the bugs. But saddly this game is lacking in much more than just programming. The script, the dynamics’ design, the choices regarding the storytelling, even the character’s design seems strange and forced.

    Regarding the technical issues, they make the game artificially long, just because controls were so awfull something easy became an odyssey or bugs kept appearing and I had to rack my brain in order to come up with a way of “avoiding” them

    Regarding game dynamics:

    -I don’t understand the point in introducing an abilities tree in a game so short and with so simple and clunky mechanics.

    -The instructions didn’t explain a lot of essential dynamics making the game upsetting and artificially difficult.

    -The riddles, which were the core of Tormented Fathers, are completely absent here.

    -The oppressive sensation of being trapped inside the same building and unable to scape, the progressive world widening with new hiding places and new threats of the first game is absent here. The game is chopped in a lot of short fragments continuously jumping between temporal moments and different tiny scenarios ruining the claustrophobic experience completely.

    Finally, regarding the plot:

    -The story has a very original and complex concept with a huge potential to create a unique an awesome script but has been awfully adapted to video game format and fall into inconsistencies which are painful to see. I played the first game and understood its plot completely after reflecting on it for a while, but I was so confused after finishing this that I had to read the wiki of the game and I continued finding some huge plot holes. I don’t know how a person who hasn’t played the first game could understand this one at all. If I would have bought the game without playing the first part, I would feel even more ripped off.

    -Random characters/situations throw a lot of incomplete, mixed and crucial information to your face in the strangest most forced moments and dialogues possible which takes out all the credibility of the story.

    -The story was too complicated and extensive for a videogame, in his current state it would be more suitable for a novel or a TV series than for a videogame, especially a horror title. This excess of characters and subplots translates into a succession of characters appearing without time to properly develops or for the player to understand what their exact role is and most of the story being told through cryptic dialogues/monologues instead of showing it with actual events, because the game should last much more in order to actually show in a comprehensive way everything it pretend to include. As a result of the excess of plot and little attention to the gameplay, the playable parts feel like a forced filling needed in order to call the product a videogame instead of a film.

    The rhythm and tone of the storytelling is erratic. Extremely tense/disturbing moments (which try to convey the oppressive atmosphere of the situation the characters are in) are interspersed with cheesy teenage lovey-dovey and soap-opera like heavy drama moments without prior notice. This kills all the tension and the dark atmosphere the game tries to build. In the first game the plot was focused in the awful consequences of using horrible medicament and the immoral experiments which were made with it adorned with the disturbing story of Richardine Felton. I can’t tell what Broken porcelain is about. The main plot of the Phenoxyl mixed with Acherontia moths and its extremely complex hypnotic and amnesic effects is involved in everything but is explained in less than a minute in a brief video. While we have several too long cinematics of Jennifer and Lynn talking about irrelevant stuff or just flirting. If their love story would have been properly introduced in the first game or written in a realistic and atmosphere congruent way this cringy and anticlimactic cinematics wouldn’t exist and part of the time invested in explaining a simple love story (which is so bad written that seems hurried despite all the time invested in it) could have been used to explain in a minimally comprehensive way all the hypnotic/amnesic mess.

    The only good points are that the concept of the plot has potential to be awesome, the ost is good, the graphics are better than the first part (specially the sceneries) and the setting is good. The rest is a huge mess.    … Expand

    It is beyond compression how this game could be released or even Sony and Microsoft allow "this" to be on their store. This game is 10 times worse than CyberPunk. Just an awful unfinished game which gameplay reminds more to a middle 90s 3D game with all its faults that a 2020 game.
    Avoid it even if like myself loved the first one. You will be frustrated and will just wonder how this Modus Games company managed to get this franchise from Soedesco and simply destroyed it when we thought more Clock Towers could be on their way.

    As the game's title suggests, there is something broken, referring to the state of the game perhaps? This game is very glitchy that constantly interrupts whatever flow this game has.

Speaking of, the charactersAs the game's title suggests, there is something broken, referring to the state of the game perhaps? This game is very glitchy that constantly interrupts whatever flow this game has. These glitches include some character models freezing, or in some instances the UI completely disappearing and prevents you from interacting with any other objects or characters. Speaking of, the characters are very one dimensional which isn't surprising considering the writing and voice acting is clunky, awkward, wooden, cringey and ham-fisted which has the added bonus of being horribly synched.

    Let's talk about the Combat. It's very frustrating as movement is very stiff, not in the way that Tank Controls establishes tension, when trying to take on the few enemies you do have. This is because stealth and diversion items are so flimsy and troublesome it's hard to even pull off an attack so you're better off just running away which in turn leads to you bumbling about the place in such a graceless manner. However, if you do decide to engage the enemy you'll most likely succumb to dying typically in the fashion of being blocked into a corner or object while the enemies will deplete your health. Also, there's a stamina bar that's redundant as you have unlimited sprint which is properly a glitch as there's upgrades to increase your stamina.

    The main appeal of the game for me was the setting, tone and originality. All were very interesting and level design at times immersed you in that feeling of being in a 70's hotel which added to the sense of eeriness. The Red Nun is a well designed character and is probably a standout positive in the game. When you get into the motion of things, the game has its charm (I actually jumped a few times with well placed jump scares) and you can actually have fun but is usually short lived due to the next game breaking glitch lurking around the corner or unrendered textures that breaks that engrossment.

    The plot is all over the place and is incredibly hard to keep up with constant time jumping and character switching. However, there are things to like about the game for sure but overall, it's bogged down by many technical faults.    … Expand

    If only the team behind Remothered: Broken Porcelain spent more time working on crucial plot points, character motivation and gameplay mechanics, then we could have a rather good game on our hands. As of now Broken Porcelain is just full of game breaking bugs, some of which the devs are desperately trying to get rid of. If you're planning to buy Remothered: Broken Porcelain anyway, at least wait some time before the game will be fixed.
