What players say
I was hoping this were an improvement on the first one which...is also kind of bad. Spoiler: it wasn't. The exploration isn't bad and hand-to hand combat is ok but the camera combat is awful, you have a very limited time window to "hit" the ghosts which can become tiring and frustrating quickly.. The story is quite meh... Honest recommendation: Skip this one.
Trash, good luck with a tiger on a hallway with 3 frame window to do damage to it, stun locks you and hits you again before the animation to stand up finishes. I played the first one, was playable this is not. ***Edit: I figured it out (mostly) why I was having such a hard time doing damage, it wasn't frames it was the resolution, I was playing at 4k and apparently the hurt boxes don't scale... I then change it to...
