Darkness Within 2: The Dark Lineage Reviews

I played this right after the first part which i like and it was a bit disappointing. Story sometimes feels like forcibly done because must do part 2 and are boring/not good and cliche. Inventory etc. interface is very bad to use effectively and sound acting very poor. Game is very buggy too sometimes i fall outside of the game world and when Henry needs translate the book my character don`t mention anything that it needs to cipher even if it should have after i opened book and because of that i fear that game breaks but luckily loading save game couple of times and trying many many times i get it work. Some levels are boring and puzzles all not that good. Maybe 5/10 if you played first part and liked it and are curious how does the story progress from there i can recommended check out but this not very good game so little bit disappoint after first one and sometimes very boring.

Well, this is a game. I was expecting a sequel to the first one and I got...more of the first one cranked up. The atmosphere is more, the controls are more, the puzzle difficulty is more. I like this game. While the first game tested my patience with the document system and clues in "order". This game is more straight-forward and more BS. Item interaction triggers can be a single pixel wide. Acting required objects upon each other sometimes do not trigger resulting actions. Logic has gone on holiday. (I need to light up phosphorescent paint? Cool! Flashlights won't work but a camera flash will? WTF?) Over, this is a good sequel. I liked the coherent story that you uncover and the cameo from the first game. 8 hours to finish carefully the first playthrough. Another 2 hours for achievement hunting. Overall rating: 7/10 (No shame for walkthroughs.)
