There is no combat, very little in the way of traditional enemies, it’s more about the plot delivery and story narration. While the storyline is a huge element to what will drive the player’s experience, gameplay here is basically the same as the first: Exploration, minor puzzle solving, and some enemy avoidance is the overall flow. I was able to understand the core story line at the end of my time but it’s still not told in the most constructive way, confusion for confusions sake as I would put it. The game is cryptic and will take lots of analyzing to understand its’ complexity and I’m sure even as writing this there is probably some big discussion going on about it somewhere online. The story here melds with the idea of someone who possible could be having an identity crisis but the show most go on, as they say. One thing is certain though, the main character is an actor, and from what players will discover, a fine one at that having done many movies over their life…or have they? Even after having finished the game, I’m still left feeling the intro and ending feel as if they just happen with little weight to either. I won’t lie, it comes off a bit confusing and very similar to the first game, if not even a bit more perplexing on what is even transpiring. Over time, much like in the original game, clues, notes, and audio dialogue will dive deeper into the character the player are portraying. There’s really no intro dialogue, no set up, it’s just you suddenly placed into the game, which is abrupt, but intriguing nevertheless. Players will find themselves on what appears to be a luxury cruise ship in disarray. The answer isn’t quite as clear, like much of the plot, but as expected but Layers of Fear 2 still offers a good time with certain expectations adjusted.Īs far as story goes, Layers of Fear 2 starts off very, very sudden. Was it a true sequel or a new story being told? Would it improve upon the formula? Would it be scarier than the first? With much anticipation and excitement, I dove right in to the madness. Immediately awaiting it with baited breath, I had no idea what the game was even about but knew I was going to play it. Well, here we are with our Layers of Fear 2 review! Is it worth diving into this madness again? Read on.
Much to my surprise, was to see a sudden announcement for Layers of Fear 2 coming later this year. Back in 2016, I stumbled upon just such a game, Bloober Team’s, Layers of Fear - A game that felt as if the player themselves were having a mental breakdown into absurd moments of insanity.
Finding a hidden gem that manages to surprise and scare is a guilty pleasure. Horror games have always been a favorite genre of mine.
