Sorrow Asylum 2 Reviews

The big purple head reminds me of Ao Oni. It was fun! https://youtu.be/N27Bmi-wzVc

The chase music wasn't as loud this time around lol. We did get to here more backstory on Lara this time and the Giant head around the corners made me jump a few times lol. https://youtu.be/KLaIIW5isDA

I really like how Vidas is never afraid to make his games even more surreal than usual. What I realized again while playing this, is that most of his games manage to convey a sort of subliminal, otherworldy logic, even if the story doesn't follow the logic of the real world. The perfect instance of this is martyrdom and both parts of Sorrow Asylum are very good in this regard as well. You brought the doctor here. No more patients on day 15. Imma be honest, I did not understand all of this. I have multiple interpretations right now and I look forward to revisiting for further analysis, but for now, I'll just say that I loved the depressing depiction of the asylum and Laras heart wrenching story with an optimistic ending. I would say "more like this please", but I have a feeling that Vidas does what he wants anyway and that is honestly fantastic. I'm always looking forward to new games.

https://youtu.be/69dfIyJ2EyM It's Sorrow Asylum 1 just redder, better voice acting, darker atmosphere/tone, and more cryptic story as to why you're there. I like a good slow burn, but it retread everything from the first to the point I nodded off a few times. There was a small quirky charm to the first this clearly rushed rehash sorely lacks. Cannot suggest this one at all.

Truely a scary experience! Use of sound with headphones was very effective. Seems like it was good not to have played the first part.
