Worse, they can reappear anywhere, regardless of where you last saw them.

Some NPCs also pop up out of nowhere and essentially break some side quests.Īnother thing is that there are boss fights where the ghosts can move surprisingly fast and can even enter walls. There are lots of locked areas that should have been opened. It feels as though it is an unpolished early release. But, by far, the most disappointing aspect of the game is its abundance of critical bugs. Like its predecessor, DreadOut 2 is not a perfect game. The game offers minor collectibles and optional quests that you can take. On a side note, exploring the city is worth doing, especially if you are a completionist. Although there is nothing much going on, unlike in the city, the entire game has a rock-solid presentation and atmosphere. The developers pulled out all the stops in creating a great environmental design.Įven some of the game's dungeon-like areas-such as the mansion cellar or the abandoned hotel-comes with a great graphic design. The game is thoroughly pleasant to look at, from the lively shop-laden streets to sleepy little villages and the misty mountains. In this aspect, the game's design truly shines. In addition to ghost and zombie-hunting, DreadOut 2 lets you occasionally roam the city before you set out to a new location. It employs more hack-n-slash gameplay with its gory simplicity. But, despite its honest attempt to become a true horror game, DreadOut 2 isn't spooky.

The other one is fighting supernatural entities using melee weapons, usually an ax. The first one is to banish ghosts by snapping pictures of them using Linda's phone. There are two types of missions in the game. Luckily, DreadOut 2 managed to counterbalance its poorly-written storyline with an enjoyable mix of action and adventure.

The game-descriptive text and dialogues-is riddled with jarring grammatical errors and poorly-worded sentences, effectively robbing the story and character any sort of potential charm.

While the plot is serviceable enough, the quality of the writing is subpar. However, prepare to be frustrated as storytelling isn't the strongest suit of this game.
