When I was halfway through this game, I was liking it enough despite its flaws that I probably would have bought the sequel. That all changed once I got to the hidden room. The annoyance of getting chased by enemies that are as fast as you is exacerbated by being trapped in confined areas with enemies towards the games ending. The finale was incredibly tedious due to this. The store page advertises its 3D sound and how you can use it to tell where the enemies are, but that just really doesn't work. Enemies on other floors will sound like they are right next to you. The plot was really my biggest issue with the game. It starts out a bit incoherent, and once you get a sense of whats going on it goes downhill. Despite the end cutscene being filled with exposition, it is still very unclear what the protagonist's connection to the story is. The game runs well though, and I got it for cheap (thankfully)
The new chatter is a very welcome addition. The new clothes and hair aren't anything game changing, but more options are always nice. Not sure what the other review is talking about, I had no issue getting this to work. You can tell if its working if the artbook and soundtrack buttons are in the main menu. Bit expensive for the content, but it is a supporter pack after all
The story is slow, poorly handled, and boring. The character walks slowly. Conversations are drawn out, and you will frequently find yourself standing around waiting for them to end so you can do the thing the conversation is telling you to do. At one point there was a section where you have no guidance and I wasted a lot of time wandering around trying to figure out what the game wanted from me. Turns out I had even been to the right place, I just hadn't interacted with the one object I needed to. The graphics are probably the high point, but they are generic Unreal Engine photorealism. There are no real graphics options to speak of, and the game has nauseating head bobbing. I have no idea what motivated me to buy this, but I wish I hadn't.
