Just completed the game & happy to say that it topped the first part. I was a bit confused with the end & if there is a sequel hope they don't add a different protagonist. Overall it was a totally enriching horror FPS experience. This game actually had more outdoor environments than the first one, which made it less repetitive in terms of exploration. Too bad we only had melee combat bashing with Alma. The mech combat was the best part. It gave me a sense of being in god mode & destroying everything in my path. After adding the Catalyst 9.2 update the game ran flawlessly & also looked way sharper than before.
One complaint that I had with the game was that it was dead easy. The enemies were sneaky but adding slow-mo would have them becoming a soft target. If they could peak up the difficulty a bit more then it would be a bit challenging. It could have had bigger boss battles, something which I felt lacking in both the parts. More battle with those ghostly creatures would have been interesting as well. But it was way better than the previous part, so not much complaints there.
I loved the weapons in this part. They were pretty distinct. Too bad I never used the Laser rifle. The Pulse weapon was awesome. Not to mention the addition of Napalm Cannon & Hammerhead.
The gore was beefed up too. You'll see people's dead bodies scattered all over the places. Some of them mutilated badly. I'm not sure if many people noticed this, but I saw a soldier's head inside a cloth washer whilst his body lying near it. That was a freaky sight.
This is a must buy title. I'm off to play the Multi-player rounds now. Another leverage to get this game.
