    Remothered: Broken Porcelain might be the new horror story driven game this Halloween! With high end visuals and continual story to boot we can only hope new and greater things will come of the series. Remothered deserves to sit along some of the genres best, and Broken Porcelain makes for a fine sequel – here’s hoping the wait isn’t too long for the next entry!

    Broken Porcelain brings an abundance of welcome changes to the series and some well deserved improvements when it's all said and done.,Broken Porcelain brings an abundance of welcome changes to the series and some well deserved improvements when it's all said and done., Introduces new gameplay and storytelling elements that breathe new life into the characters and an unprecedented level of immersion in this haunting adventure which is perfect for both new and returning fans to the series. To preface I played the 1st Remothered and now into Broken Porcelain. I overall enjoyed the game but there were somethings that did feel like a step back when comparing it to the previous games while some move forward at the same time. The graphics are a nice upgrade and the animations aren't as stiff as prior games in the faces look a lot better compared to the first alongside much better animations and graphics we discussed earlier. The soundtrack feels good and commonly goes well and elevates the immersion appears during the gameplay. Length of the game's story went on for longer than I expected and gave some answers to questions that I had previously. Overall can be toughed as a glitchy experience in general with solid points to its overall gameplay and polish. These were by no mean game breaing issues, but things I did notice that took me out of the immersion and suspense. There were sometimes small graphical glitches, for example as characters characters appeared in one place and then snapping to where they should be. Rarely there would sound effect's not firing which could make for somewhat confusing scenes. Overall the fights towards the end could be a bit off-puting at the end of the day. Not Scary as a survival horror story at it's common roots. I did not feel as threatened and as scared as I did when playing the 1st game of the series, you are given more tools for survival and even in the cutscenes the game rarely scares and instead gives you a focus on the the story telling. The tutorials in the game don't tell you everything, but are enough to figure your way about in a proper way, I had seen a couple of them from exploring but had no idea how to collect them so ended up ignoring them until I figured it out by accident, and spent most of the game figuring out how to access the abilities awaiting within. Upgrading more abilities should have been easier to understand unless I was just missing hat was trying to be present to me all along, having collected the Moth Keys for which I had no idea what they were used for until much later in the game. The game's plot I imagine that the plot maybe doesn't sit well with a lot of people, Yet II did find myself quite enjoying it enjoying it and being engrossed in what was being told. Twists that I didn't really expect because it felt a bit strange when thinking of the first game, however, after sitting with my thoughts about them, they do make sense in some way. Only issue I have with the plot is there is a lot of jumping around from past to present which to some may kill their immersion a bit, but you don't spend as much time being chased or sneaking as previously found as enjoyable moments in the 1st game., Often ways I could just randomly jet past the enemies and try and make it to the next 'safe area'. I, on occasion, found myself being trapped in a corner by an assailant which I could not get out only a few times, but this happened like rarely and didn't overly ruin the gameplay. The Moth Eye ability is cool idea, but is awkward to use and is very rarely utilized unless the situation called for the action on your Xbox One while working your way through the store. Overall not amazing not terrible. It's a decent game worth tasing time to enjoy it.

    TL;DR - I enjoyed this game, and would recommend it. It's nice to have a continuation of the Reed's story but at the same point it doesn't feel like it lives up to it's horror ceiling as demonstrated with the first game, accompanying story elements that gives Reed's story an ending that I did not expect but still welcomed.    … Full Review »

The story is perfect and I didn't feel like you had to play the first game. The mechanics and playability are almost the same, with some additions that refine it.
    But here comes the problems. All the bad things are bugs and glitches problems, there are also some animation problems.
    If they put a patch on it and fix it, it should win the best Italian game.
    I hope they fix it.

I was already a fan of the saga, so I obviously bought it as soon as it was out... And yes, it didn't start the best way but let's be fair, they fixed pretty much everything now (and there were no major bugs after just a few days) so I really want to support it because it deserves it!!
    Anyway, great graphics, fun gameplay, moving story.. That's what I was looking for and that's what I got.    … Full Review »
