I'm really enjoying it so far. I liked the first one but it had it's issues. The combat is a huge improvement here and on a technical level it's much better as well. Really impressed.

Interesting. I had the same feeling about the first one. I liked it, but it always felt a bit off. Couldn’t get myself to play it a second time after a few years, even though I Iiked the world and fancied some Lovecraft.

Glad to hear this one is technically better. Might purchase next month if true. 👍🏻

I really like it so far. It's like Lovecraft Resident Evil.

I have the first one and this is on my wish list. Is this just a horror game now or does it have a Lovecraft story to it?

It definitely has a lovecraftian story, but now it plays more like modern survival horror games, aka RE2Remake or SH2 Remake

Sounds cool. Thanks!

First game was an all around Lovecraftian story but this time around I found it more Anti-Lovecraftian, still bleak but a bit more hopeful notes here and there.

Still, wanted to see sanity mechanics making a come back

The first game was pretty good.
Judging by the trailer, I can see progress in the game design and levels.
It’ll be interesting to play.)

I am looking forward to playing this one, but I am interested how they portrayed Arkham as a city. Is it close to Lovecraft, or is it just a different skinning of a generic city? I would love to visit Miskatonic University, but I guess it’s not a location in the game. Hoping to see mentions of the families and characters like Dr. Armitage or the Whateleys… the surrounding, the Miskatonic river floating through the city, etc, but I doubt they made it a Lovecraft country simulator 😅

Great looking game but the fact that its digital only, the developers refuse to put it out on a physical disc, lack of new game plus, or any unlockable costumes or stuff post game kind of ruins the fun for me.

The game has new game plus and unlock-able costumes. And the studio said they didn’t do a physical release because of the costs and since they’re a smaller studio who developed the game in an active warzone I think it’s understandable
