    Layers Of Fear 2's presentation is near perfection, and in my opinion both the visual and sound design create an atmosphere that’s horrific, psychological and completely meant to be as twisted as what has been delivered. The original Layers of Fear I extremely enjoyed because it managed to scare me on multiple occasions. I was eager to play the sequel Layers of Fear 2, and as far asLayers Of Fear 2's presentation is near perfection, and in my opinion both the visual and sound design create an atmosphere that’s horrific, psychological and completely meant to be as twisted as what has been delivered. The original Layers of Fear I extremely enjoyed because it managed to scare me on multiple occasions. I was eager to play the sequel Layers of Fear 2, and as far as sequels go sometimes they fail to deliver a similar experience and sometimes they succeed. Layers of Fear 2 is greatly enhanced over the previous game, and an overall better game in all aspects. These enhancements were noticeable immediately as the immersion felt much more refined and the twisted nature of the game for me as a fan of the genre. Some players may find mild frustration from dying a few times, although I enjoy a challenge and thanks to the story I assure you that you will press on. There’s much more depth this time around, and when you factor in the puzzles that you come across you find yourself getting a strong sense of of immersion from Layers of Fear 2. If you’re looking for a game that enjoys to mess with your mind at every turn then you’ll thoroughly enjoy what Layers of Fear 2 has to offer. Recommending this game to you is very easy because as far as the horror genre goes this is a very good addition to the Xbox One family of consoles. Excellent work Gun Media, Bravo!… Expand

    A darkly poetic homage to horror cinema, but one that lacks its own identity. [Issue#179, p.89]

    Layers of Fear 2 has a great horror atmosphere, but the game falls flat when it comes to gameplay.

    Layers of Fear 2 feels like a step backwards from the first game, mainly due to many boring and/or frustrating sections that feel like superfluous filler to extend the game's length. And that's a real pity, as the game's concept, varied environments and graphics could have lead to a very good game, in par or even better than the original one.
