This game completely blew me away. The storyline is captivating - characters' backstories and personalities are amazing - just as in the first chapter. The setting is claustrophobic and makes the whole experience truly nerve-wracking, especially when you have to run away from stalkers. The visuals and graphics are mesmerizing, I think that the developers have improved them a lot comparing to Tormented Fathers: the environments and props look great, the details are well-researched and refined as well. The soundtrack deserves a special mention, it’s stuck in my head!

    Highly recommend to all survival horror fans, especially if you have a taste for heart touching stories and stealth gameplay (as I personally do).    … Expand

    This game makes me cry: the story is so intense ❤️ Jen and Linn are really cute and their past broke my heart.
    I liked also the gameplay which is really anxiogenous. The music and sounds are incredible, sometimes it makes me scream when I was stalked by the enemies.

    I played the first game too and I recommend to play the two games because if you want to understand the story I think that you need to know everything. In this game many things are revealed about characters and their stories.    … Expand

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.    … Expand

    This is literally the time i realised never preorder game ever again. So many bugs. Literally every step u take theres a bug. The first game was 100times better but this one has its shining moments aswell. Just stop twisting and twisting the story, its a sweaty way to make u feel like u made something unique.

I did not complete the game, reasoning below.

    Pros: The story seems compelling, and keeps the storytelling of the first one. The atmosphere of the game is pretty great. The graphics are average, a little better than the prior game, but the setting itself does kinda draw you in.

    Cons: Oh, the bugs. It is really really bad and has made it unplayable for me, which is why I will not go back to it until there is a huge update to fix it. I had triggered a cutscene while being slashed at by a stalker and during the cutscene, I could here the slashing action still happening and the camera kept flying through the building to focus on my character in a different part of the building. One action you can do in game is use the B button (Xbox) to vault over railings. But they applied this action to pretty much any railing, so during a part of the game where the character gets spotted, she exclaims that she has to get off the balcony. The first thing you see if the button prompt to vault over the railing of the balcony, so you assume that you are going to land in the snow and roll down the hill or something, but no. It immediately loaded my game, because you were never intended to leap over the balcony railing. I can guarantee that most players did this as well.

    Besides the bugs, the gameplay itself is very unpolished. There were a lot of things about the gameplay of the first game that I did not like, and that were just brought over to this game without any improvement. The inventory system makes no sense to me. You can pick up defense items, distraction items, buff items to enhance your weapons, and other things like ropes to tie doors. But when you look in your inventory, you only see the defense and distraction items. You don't really know what else you are carrying.

    The tutorials about how to do basic things never happens. Even in the first one, I had no idea you could hold doors closed by holding X (on Xbox) because the game never teaches you that. Never tells you that you can use ropes to tie doors, or how to do it. So there are so many different ways to defend yourself but you just don't know how. I also found myself getting stun locked by enemies, making it impossible to escape them.

    The dev just needs to take the game off the store, spend another couple months fixing all of the issues they left, and release it again. Otherwise, this game is just a failure.    … Expand

    Remothered: Broken Porcelain is one of those video games that all survival horror fans should play because it immerses you in a terrifying horror setting, thanks to the graphics and the atmosphere in which it takes you. I played also the first one title of the saga and compared to this, there are huge improvements.

    Unlike many other recent horror games, Remothered: Broken Porcelain has its own personality and I literally loved every second of it. The atmosphere is dark and terrifying and the gameplay is truly heart-pounding. This game is a must-have for fans of the genre.

    It's difficult not to have the feeling of playing something incomplete and sloppy which ultimately, despite some good ideas, does not honor the big names in the horror world from which it is inspired.

    Overall, there just isn’t much to say about Remothered: Broken Porcelain. Almost every aspect of the game disappoints, so you tend not to focus on any one thing while playing. The story was incredibly confusing, but everything else was pretty bad, too, so I didn’t even care. It feels incomplete and not paid attention to.

    While I know there are fans of the series, and from what I can gather, Tormented Fathers was actually a decent time, Broken Porcelain feels off to me. Perhaps it needed a few more months of development time to work out the bugs and maybe have a better optimized stealth mechanic, but I don’t think we’ll ever know. There is some complexity to the story and some decent atmosphere, but it takes a lot to actually get into it. If you’re invested in the series, this is a maybe, but if you’re looking for a horror stealth game, there are others to just play much better.
