    Chilling from the very beginning, Shadows II Perfidia is a game that knows how to use everything in its arsenal to scare the hell out of you.

    I’m not going to say that Shadows 2 is terrible or anything, because it’s not: if you want a few jump scares, it’ll do the trick. If you want more, though — like, say, an interesting story, or creepy visuals, or anything that makes a horror game worth remembering — look elsewhere, because you won’t find it here. Mind you, even if it were here, you wouldn’t be able to see it.

    Although its sense of uneasiness is well done, everything else about Shadows 2: Perfidia is far too basic to be thoroughly enjoyable.

    Shadows 2: Perfidia tries to create an atmosphere of horror but the result is only a half-success: if the soundscape does a good job, the visual landscape is far from that and it turns out to be uglier than it is scary. It's not a remarkable feast of gameplay either, very simplistic but with a well implemented sanity mechanic. Shadows 2: Perfidia is not something that will raise the hair on everyone's neck but for those who are interested in a decent work of a horror-themed audio environment and a good use of a sanity mechanic, it can be a fun purchase.

    Very low budget but quite scary. I like that the fear doesn't come from blood and gore but from a veeeeeery thick atmosphere in the game.Very low budget but quite scary.

    Ultimate Games **** up everything it touches, seriously... I originally bought the game on steam, years ago. The game is fine. Its a veryUltimate Games **** up everything it touches, seriously... I originally bought the game on steam, years ago. The game is fine. Its a very decent horror. But they somehow managed to **** up the port and its glitching here and there. I don't know how can you take a game that works on even Windows XP and make it lag on switch. That's beyond my understanding.… Expand
