The game has alot of the atmosphere of the previous title, the music was good and the story was interesting. In fact, this game is so story heavy that it barely has any gameplay. The game has very few puzzles, if you could call them that, and when you get to them the game outright tells you what to do. Also it forces you stop and read the millions of notes that get added to your journal if you want to know more of the plot which I found to be hard to follow. The monsters are also fewer and easier to flee from. PS. I read here that many are upset over the inventory system, sanity system, the lantern, and the game's length. I have to say, it's rather silly to judge how good the game is based on it not having an inventory system, it's silly to judge the game based on it's length if it's as long or a little shorter than the all of the preceeding titles they've made, it's also silly to judge the game based on you not having to search for fuel to refill your lantern.
