... and they had this freaky baby. The highlight of the game is by far the visual journey thru its nightmarish biomechanical landscapes. What gets you thru those landscapes - the gameplay - is ok but could have been better. Puzzles are good, but bizarre and sometimes dont make much sense. The infrequent combat can be frustrating, with weapons that are slow every which way: slow to aim, slow to reload, slow to switch. And mobility is overly simplistic: no crouching, no jumping, no stealth (which would have been a nice alternative to annoying fights), and all too often one will find oneself stuck on minor obstacle any humanoid could easily step or climb over. The maps can be fairly convoluted, with hardly any guides or pointers. Easy to lose track of where to go or where you've been in these alien mazes from one gaming session to the next, or even in the same session. Still, touring this grotesque, gory world is worth the hassle. Some of the sights inspire dreadful awe.
Loved the first one and loving this one so far. A good balance of differences and similarities, although I'm finding the timing and precision needed in combat a bit more demanding. Worth playing in the original language, for Spanish speakers.
