A great combination of genres and above all an unforgettable experience, it has many improvements over the first title and a much deeper story thanks to the large amount of dialogue that has been put into it.
An incredibly well achieved atmosphere, combats with excellent designs and a story waiting to be discovered.
Amazing and fair game. What can I say? I'm a **** for suffering. Game keeps getting better and better as you progress through it's environments and story. I love the characters, the adrenaline that hits you everytime you flip a coin.
Extremely hard and straight up cruel against the player. Every truly important mechanic is obscure or just hidden from the player, so it's also extremely frustrating. Very nihilistic and depressing lore, that is also hidden from the player for the most part. Full of gore, sexual violence and flashing lights. 9/10.
A brilliant survival horror game and a great sequel to boot. Fear and Hunger 2 is very similar to the original but also has enough differences to truly carve its own identity from it. The game taps into the appeal of most great survival horror games exceptionally well with the biggest difference being the fact that the needle is less in the players favor and the game is more likely to soft lock you for poor survival decisions. This is bound to make this game divisive for many people but I wouldn't have it any other way. The save system truly exemplifies this point. Due to the games hard timer you are only allotted 8 guaranteed saves and every time you save you may be missing out on party members and events. For some this will cause massive frustration as you will feel pushed to tackle an ambitious amount of content before dying horribly and needing to redo a couple hours of content, however for myself and others this creates the friction and tension which makes the experience so engaging. This isn't just about the save system, multiple systems in this game operate like this and as such I would never describe this game as being for everyone, however thanks to an easy mode and somewhat less brutal learning curve I will say this game is a much more accessible leap from the original game. I highly recommend this game to any survival horror fans. The map design here is brilliant, most of the survival systems work very well and constantly push you to consider resources and runs, and the unique blend of inspirations comes together to create a truly unique experience out the other end. I've heard some people describe it as a great game you shouldn't play. But I disagree! I think it's fun much in the same way any other classic survival horror game is and doesn't deserve to be lumped in with the likes of Pathologic 1 which really wasn't a good game. I truly believe this deserves to be recognized along with the classics of this genre.
